Front Street-Coffee Bean species, Yega Chuefei washed FTO Coffee to share

Coffee beans in a broad sense, there are three kinds of coffee beans in the world, but the most common ones are Arabica beans and Robusta beans.

Arabica species (Arabica) Robosta beans (Robusta) Liberia (Liberica species)

There are three major varieties of coffee: the three native species are Arabica, Robusta and Liberika (Liberika). Arabica ranks first in terms of production, accounting for about 6070% of the world's coffee production. There are bourbon, Tibica and other sub-varieties. Robusta accounts for about 3040% of the world's total coffee production. Liberian cards account for only 3% of the total and are mostly grown in the Asia-Pacific region.

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 beans are an important kind of commercial coffee with a fruiting period of less than three years and a high-quality aroma and sour taste. Arabica coffee beans are mainly produced in South America (except parts of Argentina and Brazil), Central America, Africa (Kenya, Ethiopia and other places, mainly East African countries), Asia (Indonesia, parts of Yemen, India, Papua New Guinea).

Robusta species (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. The caffeine content is about 3.2%, much higher than Arabica beans.

Robusta species (Latin name Coffee Robusta Linden) is one of the most important coffee varieties in the world. The leaf rust-resistant varieties found in Congo in Africa have stronger disease resistance than Arabica. Robusta coffee beans are mainly used to concentrate and mix to increase the thickness of alcohol and get rich oil. Although Robusta's flavor is not comparable to Arabica, it has its own value. Is the main ingredient of instant coffee, some espresso will also be mixed with a certain proportion of robusta.

The main producers of Robbosa beans are Indonesia, Vietnam, Brazil and other countries.

Liberia, also known as large-grain coffee beans, has strong vitality, but at the same time, its flavor and resistance to leaf rust are weak, and its planting capacity is less than 1%. It has basically withdrawn from the commercial market and is only preserved in scientific research.
