A brief introduction to the comparison of Qianjie-bourbon and tin card

The main varieties of drinking in the world are Arabica and Robusta, and Arabica, as a common bean in the boutique coffee market, is the greatest embodiment of its value. From the perspective of coffee culture and genetics, bourbon and Tibica are the two most important branches of Arabica coffee, and they are also the first choice of fine coffee!

Iron pickup coffee

Tibica is a subvariety of Arabica coffee, which is a natural genetic mutation. Originally grown in Martinique, Central America, Jamaica and the Kona region of Hawaii, Papua New Guinea and East Timor are currently Tibica's main coffee growers. In order to obtain more coffee production from high-quality Typica, Typica coffee varieties usually cross-breed with other species. Typica coffee is famous for its sweetness, and some of the best coffee in the world comes from the Typica coffee range, including Blue Mountain, Sumatra and Kona.

Typic raw beans, slightly tilted at both ends, the shape of the beans is oval, the side view of the bean body is flat and thin, the altitude of the planting area is different, the side thickness of the raw beans will not be too different.

Unlike other beans, the fruit of Tieka coffee is cone-shaped. Iron pickup coffee is of high quality, so it is very popular in plantations all over the world. If planted properly, Tippica coffee has high sweetness, pure taste and pleasant acidity. Yunnan iron card, Asian herb aroma, lively and bright sour taste, both cheeks, sour soft, mellow balance, rich layers, Yuyun dark chocolate, honey, sucrose flavor, brown sugar flavor after complete cooling.

Bourbon, a natural mutant from Ethiopia and Arabica, originally appeared on the island of Reunion and was first recorded in 1947. Burundi, Rwanda and South America are the main coffee growers in Bourbon. Although the bourbon species are genetically similar to the tin card varieties, the bourbon species are stronger, have higher yields, have lower caffeine content but shorter plants, but are determined to have low disease resistance. More likely to suffer from leaf rust.

Bourbon, a second species of Typica mutation, is the oldest coffee variety in existence, with green fruit showing bright red when ripe.

After the red bourbon general coffee tree blossoms and bears fruit, the color change of the coffee fruit is: green > turn yellowish > turn slightly orange > turn mature red > turn more ripe dark red, so some people also call it [red bourbon], in fact, red bourbon, that is, what we call bourbon species. Bourbon planted at high altitude usually has a better aroma, while the acid is brighter and even tastes like red wine.

Generally speaking, bourbon is a coffee tree that belongs to a branch of Arabica species, generally bearing red fruit, called red bourbon, in addition to yellow bourbon, orange bourbon, yellow bourbon relatively low yield, but better quality.

Knowledge expansion: Java produces exquisite aromatic coffee with relatively low acidity, delicate taste and good balance. Java coffee has a better aroma and acidity than coffee from Sumatra and Sulawesi.
