At present, coffee beans are grown in 66 countries in the world, and the main varieties are divided into three categories: Arabica species (Arabica), Robusta species (Robusta) and Liberian species (Liberica). Arabica and Robusta coffee beans are the most common types of coffee beans.

There are many varieties of Arabica coffee beans, most of which have clean and high quality flavor, so the boutique coffee seen in the market is Arabica coffee. Most Arabica coffee is disease-resistant, insect-resistant and highly demanding to the environment, so it needs careful care and less production, so it accounts for 30% of the global coffee production.

There are few varieties of robusta coffee beans, and most owners have a strong bitter taste, so they are generally used to make instant coffee / or taste it with lots of sugar and milk. Robusta coffee has a strong ability of disease resistance and insect resistance, does not require high environmental requirements, does not need too much care, and produces more, so it accounts for nearly 70% of the global coffee production.

The coffee beans we often hear every day, such as iron pickup, bourbon, Rosa, Kaddura and Kaduai coffee beans, are all Arabica varieties, but the flavor and taste are very different.

Typica, which is native to Ethiopia and southeastern Sudan, is one of the oldest coffee varieties in Arabica. The top leaf of the iron pickup plant is red and copper, so it is also called red top coffee. Most of the Arabica coffee varieties we see today are derived from iron pickups.

Through the observation and cup test of Qianjie coffee, it is found that the iron pickup coffee bean shape is oval, the bean body is slender and plump, and it has a clean taste and quiet and clean flavor.

Bourbon is a natural variety of iron pickup, and the biggest change in its coffee beans is that it has changed from a long body to a round body. Bourbon coffee was originally grown on the Brazilian island of Reunion, which was also known as le Bourbon before 1789, so the coffee variety was also named bourbon.

Through the observation and cup test of Qianjie coffee, it is found that bourbon coffee beans are short and round, with thick beans, smooth taste and obvious sweet flavor.

Gesha/Geisha comes from the forests of Ethiopia. Compared with other varieties, the biggest characteristic of Rosa coffee is that its yield is very low, and its shape is characterized by long branch nodes, long distance between nodes, less flowering and less fruit.

Through the observation and cup test of coffee in front of the street, it is found that Rosa coffee beans are slender in shape, pointed at both ends and plump in the middle.

Kaddura (Caturra) is a natural variety of bourbon. Kaddura plants are very close to each other, and the fruit is smaller than bourbon, which makes more fruit in the same space, and the yield of coffee fruit will be greatly increased.

Through the observation and cup test of the coffee in front of the street, it is found that the coffee bean beside Kaddura is round and long, with a curved end, bright and clean taste and obvious sweet flavor.

Catuai is an artificially bred hybrid between Kaddura and New World. Kaduai inherits the attributes of high yield, strong disease resistance and good cup-tested varieties in the New World, and inherits the attributes of Kaddura's small size, high-quality sour and exposed coffee. Because the plant is small, it can be planted at twice the density.

Through the observation and cup test of the coffee in front of the street, it is found that the Kaduai coffee bean is oval and flat, with a slender tail, soft acidity and clean taste as well as rich fruit aromas.
