About the origin of Arabica coffee beans

Some people say that when a shepherd is herding his sheep

Inadvertently found out

Some people say that it was the Gella who discovered it.

As for its real source,

There is no way to prove it.

That being the case,

Then enjoy the fun of coffee.

Ethiopia Kafa (Kaffa) Forest-cradle of Arabica

Kaffa, southwest Ethiopia, is located in the plateau and mountain area with an elevation of 1800-2400 meters above sea level. It has a subtropical highland climate, abundant rainfall and fertile land. Important agricultural and animal husbandry areas. The main producing areas of coffee in China and the origin of Arabian coffee gradually spread to all parts of the world after the 13th century.

Ethiopia (I have also introduced the coffee profile of Ethiopia before, you can click to read it if you are interested -) is the hometown of Arabica coffee, and it is in the forests of Kaffa that you can see wild Arabica coffee. In Ethiopian, coffee is called 'Bun'' or 'Buna', coffee beans (Coffee bean), which may be translated from' Kaffa Bun'. Arabica coffee has long been found in the Harald area, probably from the Kafa forest.

We used to divide Ethiopia into nine producing areas: Sidamo, Yega Sheffield, Jinma, Harald, Lim, Iruba, Gimbi (Lekanti), Tibby, and Bekaa.

Heirloom- Ethiopian native species

Native to Ethiopia, one of the coffee beans.

Some people may ask such a question, what is the difference between the original species and Tibika?

Heirloom, translated as a family heirloom, but in this case, refers to a mixture of native forests. Ethiopian native species are very rich in flavor, with characteristics ranging from elegant floral (typical jasmine) to citrus (typical lemon), as well as chocolate and wild berries. Tibika is just one of the native species.

If you follow the Starbucks selection, you will find that the previous selection of Kayong Mountain in Ethiopia (interested can click to see)-with a hint of floral and lemon flavor, but also can feel a touch of creamy almond flavor, is also a native species.

Coincidentally, today's Bita Manor of Ethiopian coffee beans is also a native species.

Because this is also the place where the legendary coffee was found, the designer used the Rochak (ink design) style to represent the wild natural environment of the whole area. At the same time, like wild coffee berries hidden in the manor, the design also hides coffee trees, goats eating berries, coffee cups and mountainous landscapes in the area. The warm red hue of the whole picture represents the soil color of Bita Manor with high iron oxide content. Every floor is waiting for you to explore.

Bita Manor and part of the food

Iron oxide

Have you ever thought that the flavor of Bita Manor is described as banana and chocolate, which feel sweet? why are there so many sweet substances?

Because the local soil is extremely rich in iron oxide. Iron plays a significant role in the process of plant growth.

1. The content of iron in plants is about 3/1000 of dry weight. Iron is mainly concentrated in chloroplasts.

two。 Iron is involved in the formation of chlorophyll. However, chlorophyll does not contain iron, and the mechanism of iron involved in chlorophyll formation is not clear.

3. Green-deficient leaves are often short of iron. But sometimes the iron content of green-deficient leaves is as high as that of green leaves, but iron exists in an ineffective state.

4. Iron is an important component of enzymes in plant aerobic respiration, so iron participates in respiration and is an important substance in plant energy metabolism. Iron deficiency affects plant physiological activity and nutrient absorption.

5. Iron is a component of ferredoxin, which participates in electron transfer.

6. The enzyme of biological nitrogen fixation contains iron, which plays an important role in biological nitrogen fixation.
