The source of the coffee?

Coffee trees are evergreen shrubs or trees belonging to the Rubiaceae family. The ripe coffee berries look a bit like small cherries and red. The berries contain a pair of seeds. The seeds are treated in the sun or washed in water before they can become raw coffee beans. After baking and other steps, the coffee beans are ripe, and after grinding, they can be made into coffee.

Coffee is found.

There was a shepherd in Ethiopia in the 16th century. One day he found his sheep jumping up and down there, and he thought it was amazing. After careful observation, we realized that it was because the sheep had eaten a kind of red fruit.

Usually the region where coffee beans are suitable for growth is in the countries between the Tropic of Cancer, called "Coffee Zone", Central and South America, Arabia, East Africa, southern Asia, Oceania and so on are all in this region, and the better coffee can be produced in countries with alpine topography, because coffee is suitable for growing on slopes with an altitude of about 1000Mak 2000m above sea level, which requires sufficient rainfall, but not too wet. It is best to have mild sunshine during the day, clouds in the evening, and a temperature of about 10 degrees Celsius but not too low at night.

Generally speaking, Arabica is mainly used in single or boutique coffee, while Robusta is used to make instant coffee. Although Arabica can be defined as premium coffee and Robusta as secondary, it does not have to be classified in this way, and it is more appropriate to distinguish it according to its own favorite taste. In terms of taste, the United States and Japan drink light coffee made from Arabica more often, while Europe prefers Italian concentrate made from a mixture of Arabica and Robusta.

In many TV commercials, or coffee shops or convenience stores, you can see the words "authentic Arabica coffee beans." many people are curious about what Arabica coffee beans are. There are three main kinds of coffee beans in the world, but there are only two kinds of coffee beans that are of real commercial value and are widely cultivated. One is ARABICA and KOBUSTA.

Arabica coffee accounts for 75% of the world, and because it needs to be planted on sloping slopes at high altitude, harvesting must be done manually, which is difficult to grow, but because Arabica coffee beans are rich in aroma, mild in taste and evenly distributed in oil, and contain less caffeine, even if it is not easy to grow and obtain, it does not affect the love of the world.

Robbins special coffee tree is resistant to high temperature and cold, it has strong adaptability, it can grow well on flat ground, and the harvest does not have to be manual, it can be carried out by machine. Robbins' special coffee is less fragrant and bitter, and its caffeine content is more than double that of Arabica, so most instant coffee or breakfast coffee sold in general belongs to Robster.

Do you remember the division of boundaries, phylums, classes, orders, families, genera and species in bioscience? Don't say you gave it back to the junior high school biology teacher. A few years ago, the coffee industry in Taiwan began to emphasize Arabica coffee beans. In fact, what is being discussed and pursued in the boutique coffee industry is Arabica coffee, so I will not repeat it here. There are hundreds of coffee trees that belong to Arabica.
