Introduction to three varieties of Qianjie Coffee and derived species of Hawaiian Kona Coffee

According to the scientific biological classification system, coffee belongs to the plant kingdom, Rubiaceae, coffee genus, coffee species. Species are the basic unit of plant taxonomy, which are divided into categories according to the nature or characteristics of plants and usually have stable genetic characteristics. There is a clear boundary between species and species, and often their own reproduction does not intersect with each other. Coffee is divided into three different types of species according to their characteristics (each species has a different variety / bean varieties)

1. Arabica Arabica accounts for about 70% of the world's total output. 2. Robsta Robusta accounts for about 30% of the world's total output. 3. The yield of Liberian card Liberica is very little.

Iron pickup, a derivative of Arabica, is the famous Hawaiian Kona coffee.

It is an indisputable fact that the island of Hawaii is not high above sea level, the landscape is not abundant, and the coffee flavor is light. Until California entered the coffee production business, Hawaiian Coffee was the only coffee in the 50 states of the United States.

In addition, Hawaii is both a producer and a consumer of specialty coffee. In other coffee-producing countries, locals drink low-quality coffee, usually commodity-grade coffee, but this is not the case in Hawaii. The most extensive variety of coffee grown in Hawaii is Guatemala Typica, known as Kona Typica on the island, and the local market consumes the most Arabica coffee.

If you see a bag of Kona coffee anywhere, you may notice that it is much more expensive than most other mainstream coffees. In Kona, farm work costs $200 to $300 a day, while a farmer in Guatemala pays only $3 to $6 for the same salary. Labor costs vary in prices in different coffee producing areas because Hawaii coffee production costs are so high. As a result, 100%Kona coffee retails for more than $30 12 ounces.

Importantly, Hawaii, as a coffee-growing region, is not enveloped by the world commodity market, which determines the price of commodity-grade coffee, and the fluctuating market price depends on the mechanism of supply and demand of the global commodity Arabica coffee, but it also affects the producers of specialty coffee, so growers also want to be able to sell products at more profitable prices.

Kona Coffee is planted on the western side of the Big Island in Kona District. It was first planted in the 1820s. Kona Coffee is grown at an altitude of about 300-1000. Compared with other coffee-producing countries, Kona Coffee is a low-altitude coffee producing area, but compared with other islands in Hawaii, Kona Coffee is already a high-altitude producing area, because of its superior coffee growth conditions, unique coffee flavor and good taste.
