Qianjie-A brief introduction to the three types and ingredients of coffee

The coffee we drink every day is mainly Arabica or Robusta. Lilivacaine produces less and is seldom available on the market. Instant coffee is mainly Robusta, while high-quality coffee is Arabica. The coffee we drink every day is a mixture of two kinds of coffee beans and coffee. In addition, Arabica also has many subspecies, each with its own flavor. For example, Pacamara and Geisha, which have performed very well in COE in recent years, are counted as one of Arabica.

The main types of coffee available in the market are Arabica or Robusta, which have their own characteristics as well as their advantages and disadvantages.

Arabica

The producing countries are mainly Latin American countries, with a balanced and mellow taste and low caffeine content, most of which are only 1-1.3%. Different manors can create a variety of flavors under different planting conditions, so boutique coffee comes from this variety. However, because the planting environment is stringent, such as the environment with high altitude and large temperature difference, sufficient moisture, long ripening time, lower yield than other varieties, and easy to suffer from leaf rust, most subspecies can not be exposed to sunlight directly, so the cost of production remains high.

There are two ancient native species of Arabica, Typica and Bourbon.

Typica is a native variety of coffee, originated in Ethiopia, and all Arabica species are derived from Typica.

The parietal leaves of Typica are bronzed and most of the beans are oval or thin-pointed. His flavor is elegant, but his physique and disease resistance are poor, so his output is not much. Jamaica Blue Mountain, Sumatra Manning and Hawaii Kona are all derived from this bean seed.

Robusta

Robusta discovered in 1898 in the Congo that the name is Caffea Canephora. We collectively call it coarse coffee. It tastes mediocre and caffeine is high, but because it is raw, the price is relatively low. It is often used to mix coffee to balance the cost. Some places specialize in the production of Robusta for geographical and climatic reasons. For example, authentic coffee in Vietnam is also dominated by Robusta.

Knowledge expansion: most people believe that it is a natural variety of Typica transplanted to Yemen, and the bean body is relatively round. In 1715, France got its name from the transplantation of this variety from Yemen to the island of Bourbon on the east coast of Africa.

In short: Qianjie is a coffee research hall, happy to share the knowledge about coffee with you, we share unreservedly just to make more friends fall in love with coffee, and there will be three low-discount coffee activities every month. The reason is that Qianjie wants to make more friends drink the best coffee at the lowest price, which has been Qianjie's tenet for 6 years!
