What are the types of fine coffee beans? what is the relationship between Arabica and iron pickup coffee beans?

After extensive publicity, people gradually have a certain understanding of coffee varieties, such as "100% Arabica coffee beans" is the best publicity.

But in fact, the variety of coffee is not so simple. Please listen to Qianjie's detailed explanation here.

Arabica coffee, that is, small-grain coffee, is what we think tastes better at present. Because of its excellent flavor, it has been selected and widely planted by human beings. Arabica itself grows in a demanding environment (high altitude), and its yield per plant is not as high as that of other coffee species, thanks to human buff, which now accounts for 70% of the world's total coffee production.

So to put it this way, this ". 100% Arabica coffee beans. " It's good coffee. But when you think about it, why do these slogans highlight "100%"? it's obvious that there is another coffee bean that doesn't taste very good: Robusta.

Robusta, in fact, is actually a medium-grain coffee, exactly speaking, because only one species of Canefra called Robusta is suitable for commercial cultivation. Later, it was also called this medium-grain coffee directly by Robusta. However, if it is strictly classified, the Arabica species should correspond to the Canefa species. This variety of coffee beans is mainly used as a raw material for coffee products.

Within the Arabica species line, many species are subdivided, among which Ironhide card is a typical Arabica species. In boutique coffee, Arabica is not generally referred to as variety, but by a more detailed breakdown of varieties. For example, the coffee variety planted in Qianjie in Lincang, Yunnan Province is Iron pickup, which belongs to Arabica.

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, with a tilt angle of 50 Murray 70 degrees. Tiebika top leaves are bronze, opposite leaves are long oval, smooth, the end of the branch is very long, few branches, and the flowers are white, opening at the base of the petiole connecting the branch.

Its flavor is very good, but it has two disadvantages, that is, it is difficult to feed and the yield is low. Therefore, at present, the main coffee production in Yunnan still comes from the variety Katim. Katim has the gene of 1 stroke 4, which is still a species of Arabica biologically. Katim produces 70% more than tin cards and does not need shade forests. However, its flavor is slightly inferior to that of the tin truck.

How is the flavor of the iron pickup?

Qianjie takes the iron pickup in Yunnan as an example. Qianjie uses sun treatment. After moderate baking, the performances in the cup test are preserved apricot, Sanhua plum and caramel chocolate.
