Arabica / Arabica, Robusta / Robusta, Librika / Liberica

Among them, Arabica accounts for 70% of the total shipments, while Robusta accounts for 25% to 30%. Due to its low output and low quality, Lieberica has little sense of existence.

In both Arabica and Robusta, because of the high caffeine content and strong taste stimulation of Robusta, it is mostly used to extract raw materials of instant coffee, while a small part of it is used in the blending of low-end commercial beans, so independent cafes on the market almost do not use Luodou.

So, go back to the original problem. 100% Arabica beans can not even be regarded as an active choice, but should be regarded as a passive acceptance caused by a market environment.

Because coffee, as a drink supplied to humans, naturally has to withstand the sensitive nerves of human picky taste buds. Robbosa beans have a high caffeine content, between 1.7% and 4%, with a thick taste and high bitterness / little variation.

While Arabica caffeine content is moderate, between 0.8% and 1.7%, coffee beans contain more sugar and fat, and the flavor is obviously sour and varied, which is precisely because of this contrast, even though Robusta has higher yields and

A stronger physique.

It is also difficult to reverse the demand in the market, and has to show that Arabica beans are at the top.

Arabica is native to the Abyssinia plateau of Ethiopia, originally used medicinally as a monk to heal body and mind and to awaken the brain. The drinking habit was developed in the 13th century and began its magnificent turn after it was introduced into Europe in the 16th century.

Arabica native species are very sensitive to environmental humidity, frost, diseases and insect pests, especially the natural enemy of coffee, leaf rust. Therefore, with the continuous improvement of human planting technology and the migration of coffee tree species, Arabica species have a large number of subspecies and subspecies to counter different climatic and geographical conditions.
