Front Street-Coffee beans, Arabica Coffee sharing

Arabica species account for about 70% of the world's total output, which is equivalent to the aristocracy of coffee beans. it requires high temperature and humidity of the climate and requires higher cultivation techniques, but because of its pleasant aroma and rich taste, it has always been the largest variety in production and sales in the world, accounting for about 70% of the world's output. But their growth cycle is very slow, and it takes nearly five years to harvest, so they are mostly used in boutique coffee.

Robusta species accounts for about another 30%, accounting for 30% of the world's total output, equivalent to the status of rural farmers, it is hard-working, strong viability, high temperature and low temperature, slightly bitter flavor. Its caffeine content is 2 to 3 times higher than that of Arabica. Generally grow in the slope of 200 to 600 meters above sea level, the requirement of manual care is very low, so the price is relatively low, mostly used for canned and instant coffee.

Arabica species and Robusta species mostly live in temperate areas, mainly between latitude 25 °south and latitude 25 °north with the equator as the center, and this area is also known as the "coffee belt". It covers most countries in Central Africa, East Africa, the Middle East, India, South Asia, the Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean. The reason why coffee is mainly concentrated in this area is that coffee is extremely vulnerable to frost, and the temperature and humidity in the tropics are the most suitable for coffee growth.

Variety classification

As there are many branches under the two major coffee beans, the editor only introduces some of the more famous varieties.

Elaraby Coffee:

Typica, which is native to Ethiopia and southeastern Sudan, is one of the oldest Arabica species. Its top leaf is red copper, called red top coffee, also known as the old variety of small grain coffee. Because of the low yield and the difficulty of cultivation, the price is much higher than the ordinary small-grain coffee. But its taste performance is excellent, it is recognized as a boutique coffee variety.

Robsta Coffee:

Civet Coffee (Kopi Luwak), also known as Kopi Luwak, is made by the civet who eats the coffee fruit and discharges the beans intact. People extract the beans from its feces and process them.

Produced in Indonesia, the coffee is currently one of the most expensive in the world, costing as much as a few hundred dollars per pound. The civet eats the ripe coffee fruit and excretes it through the digestive system. Due to the fermentation of the stomach, the coffee produced has a special taste and has become a hot product in the international market.

Knowledge expansion: Liberia, like Robusta, is pest-resistant and suitable for hot and humid environments, but it is not widely planted, mostly in South Africa.
