Introduction of Iron pickup and Hawaiian Kona Coffee of three Coffee varieties in Qianjie

Iron pickup and bourbon, two ancient varieties, have propagated for three hundred years in different soil and water in the new world, creating thousands of varieties and hybrids.

Intraspecific hybrid: two Arabica varieties, a new interspecific hybrid: a new hybrid of Arabica, Canifra, Liberia, etc.

Characteristics of Iron pickup and its variants

Typica iron pickup, which is typical of Arabica species, is also the first variety to be transplanted from Yemen to India, Indonesia and Central and South America. The ancient iron pickup is characterized by larger beans and longer pointed beans, but many different forms have been derived from the transplantation into the new world, as well as oval and smaller iron pickups. The taste of iron pickup coffee beans is very balanced, mild and supple is its biggest feature, the sour smell of iron pickup, not tricky, not changeable, suitable for those who are afraid of acid, but iron pickup planting altitude is less than 1000 meters or the temperature is too high, easy to have sawdust smell. Poor disease resistance and low production capacity are its biggest weakness.

Common variants of iron pickups:

Like beans: it is found that the iron pickup variety from Brazil has three times the size of ordinary coffee beans, with less fruit yield, large grains, and trouble in post-processing, so there are not many countries to grow. Brazil, Colombia, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and El Salvador have a small number of plants.

Kona Tieka: the iron pickup of the Big Island of Hawaii is from Guatemala, located in the subtropics of 20 degrees north latitude, with cooler temperatures and fertile volcanic soil, which, despite its low altitude, breeds clean sour and sweetness. even better than the blue mountains at higher elevations.

Blue mountain iron pickup: in the 1820s, it was transplanted from Martinique to the blue mountains of Jamaica. after more than 200 years, blue mountain iron pickup has evolved better disease resistance, especially better resistance to fruit rot than ordinary iron pickups. However, the Blue Mountain Ironhide Card cannot replicate its sweet and fragrant characteristics when it steps out of Jamaica.

Huangpi Potukatu: a variety of iron pickup was first found in India. The peel is yellow when it is ripe and the fruit yield is rare. Now a small amount of it is grown in Brazil. Don't underestimate it. Huang bourbon, the winner of the Brazilian Cup, is a hybrid of Huangpi Tukatu and Hongpi bourbon.

Kona coffee, produced in the Kona region of Hawaii, is a rare variety that can only be grown on volcanic slopes. The taste is rich and mellow, with a mixed aroma of wine, fruit and spice, with a special flavor. The selected Kona coffee has a moderate sour taste and a gentle and full-bodied taste, as well as a unique mellow flavor.

As production dwindles and prices catch up with Blue Mountain Coffee, the strip off the coast of Kona, Hawaii, produces the best coffee in the world, with less than 2600 acres of coffee producing 2 million pounds of beans a year. With its aroma, unique taste and outstanding regional characteristics, Kona Coffee stands out in the international competition. Another good Hawaiian coffee can be found in the United States-Hawaiian Kaj Farm Coffee (KaiFarms).
