Introduction of Qianjie Coffee varieties and Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee varieties

Arabica varieties:

Arabica variety should be the first choice in terms of bean seed. The so-called Mantenin or mocha coffee beans are actually named according to their origin, such as Mantenin is produced in Sumatra, Indonesia, and mocha is a Yemeni product. But some of them are Arabica varieties and some are Robusta varieties.

The most important is the Arabica variety, which is produced on slopes thousands of meters above sea level. The higher the altitude, the better the quality of the coffee beans. The bean is small and oval in shape. The fruit is generally late ripening, and the maturity of the fruit on the same branch is also different, so it is harvested manually. However, because of its unique flavor and rich output, its market share is more than 70%. Most of them are treated by washing after harvest, with few defects, want to sell well, and are mostly used for the preparation of single coffee.

Robusta varieties:

Robusta variety is a low-altitude slope product, bean-shaped oval. The caffeine content is more than twice that of Arabica varieties, with poor alcohol and bitterness, and is mostly used to make instant coffee powder or blend into cheap mixed coffee. Because of its strong survivability and easy planting, the purchasing cost is greatly reduced.

Usually a 3-4-year-old coffee tree can blossom and bear fruit. Each tree can produce about 2000 cherry-like fruits, weighing about 4 kilograms, but it takes about half a year to fully mature and remove the peel and pulp after harvesting to obtain less than 1 kilogram of unbaked raw coffee beans.

Liberika varieties:
