Arabica

Also known as small coffee beans, originated in Ethiopia. Arabica coffee trees mostly grow at an altitude of 1000 ℃ 2000 meters above sea level; they are hardy, and the suitable growth temperature is 15 mures and 24 meters; they need more humidity, and the annual rainfall is not less than 1500 milliliters; at the same time, they also have higher requirements for cultivation techniques. Arabica coffee tree is a large shrub with oval, dark green leaves and oval fruit. Generally, there are two slightly flattened beans with long oval on the front, narrow and curved cracks in the middle, S-shaped, and smooth arc on the back of the beans. Caffeine content is about 0.8% Rue 1.5%.

Arabica coffee's excellent flavor and aroma make it the only coffee that can be drunk directly and alone among these native species, such as the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, Mantenin of Indonesia, Yega Snow Coffee and Brazilian Coffee. However, it has weak resistance to dryness, frost, diseases and insect pests, especially leaf rust, which is the biggest natural enemy of coffee, so all producing countries are committed to improving varieties.

Arabica coffee produced in different regions, different elevations and different climates has its own characteristics and can show completely different individual flavor. It smells like grass when it is not baked, and after proper baking, it shows "fruity" (medium-shallow baking) and "caramel flavor" (deep baking). Suitable for a single origin and a variety of mixed beans, can be made using a variety of extraction techniques.

Robusta

Also known as medium-grain coffee beans, originated in the Congo of Africa. Robusta coffee trees are mostly planted in lowlands 200-800m above sea level. They like warm climates and require temperatures of 24-29 ℃, but do not require high rainfall. However, the variety relies on insects or wind to pollinate, so coffee takes 11 months from pollination to fruit, which is longer than Arabica.

Yunnan small-grain coffee, Rubiaceae, coffee genus, the planting area is mainly distributed in Lincang, Baoshan, Simao, Xishuangbanna, Dehong and other states. Small grains of coffee are native to Ethiopia or Arabian Peninsula.

Iron pickup (typica)

Tieka Coffee, native to Ethiopia and southeastern Sudan, is the most widely cultivated variety of coffee in the Western Hemisphere. The plant is stronger, but not light-tolerant, and the yield is higher in Hawaii. The top leaf of the iron pickup is red copper, which is called red top coffee. Iron pickup is a recognized boutique coffee variety, at present, many commercial improvements are derived from this. The taste is excellent, but the output is extremely low and vulnerable to rust, which requires more manpower management.

The Ironpika bean is slender, the tree is tall, the fruit is oval, and the branches are slightly inclined. The four iron pickups are slender and open, tilting at an angle of 50 to 70 degrees. The coffee yield of each tree is very low, but the cup test score is very high.

Knowledge expansion: the value of Robusta is not as a negative example to set off the advanced flavor of Arabica, but has an unshakable position in Italian beans. Italian blending will add a small amount of Robusta to the blend to increase the alcohol thickness of the coffee and produce a more oil-rich Espresso.
