The Arabica species originated in the Abyssinia Plateau of Ethiopia and was later transplanted to Yemen. At that time, coffee grown in Arabica was the secret medicine of Islam, and the government strictly prohibited its planting or spreading its breeding technology to other countries. But then Elaraby's seedlings were brought to Europe and became plants of commercial value. This variety has also been planted in their colonies in countries such as the Netherlands, France and the United Kingdom.

Tibica and bourbon, which belong to Arabica native species, are two very important varieties in the study of coffee. The two varieties originated from Ethiopia, their genetic variation rate is low, and the aroma of varieties from different producing areas can be easily distinguished.

The spread process of Tibica species

Tibica spread to Ceylon, India and Java through Yemen, but its offspring died of rust around the 1860s. After that, Ceylon switched to black tea, and places such as India, Java and Sumatra switched to coffee trees planted by Robusta. Although there is no detailed survey data, Sumatra, Sulawesi and the Philippines should still have descendants of Tibica species after this period.

The wide spread of iron pickup has led to coffee on almost every continent, and naturally there is also coffee in Venezuela. Venezuela's famous old beans, its sweet and special flavor is very amazing. However, in recent years, it can be said to be very rich to have a cup of coffee in Venezuela. After all, due to inflation, a cup of coffee can catch up with a house.

The absurdity of the Venezuelan cocoa industry "like beggars on a pile of gold" is just one of the cases in which the industry has been unable to upgrade over the years, so it is controlled by people. In coffee, iron ore and the aforementioned oil industry, its fate is equally ill-fated:

At the end of the 19th century, Venezuela began the "coffee era", but as imperialist countries planted cocoa and coffee beans on a large scale in Africa and Asia, mass-produced secondary markets (such as raw material futures), allowing (new) economic imperialism to once again shake up the coffee (and cocoa) market.

So Venezuela, plagued by cyclical price falls and difficulties in obtaining reasonable market prices, is not a special case of Latin America. For example, Ecuador, whose economy mainly depends on bananas, coffee and cocoa exports, until around 1960, 7 out of every 10 Ecuadorians still lacked basic calories and had one of the highest mortality rates in the world.

Until one night in 1922, Venezuela became an oil-rich country overnight: thanks to the urgent demand for raw materials in World War II, Venezuela strengthened its international position and cooperated with foreign investors in oil refining, but suffered from "Hollandse ziekte", which made the industrial structure highly dependent on a single product.

Before oil excavation, Venezuela, whose agricultural output value originally accounted for 1/3 of the country's total economic output, had less than 10% of its agricultural output value by 1950.

Venezuela's coffee production is not high, most of it is supplied to domestic consumption. Although geographically, Venezuela is mainly produced in the west near Colombia, but its sour taste is very weak, which is not like Colombian beans, but as sweet and deep as Caribbean beans.

Qianjie coffee is recommended to be brewed in 89-90 degrees water to highlight the sweetness of Venezuelan coffee.
