Qianjie-A brief introduction to Arabica Coffee and Iron pickup Coffee

Coffee belongs to the evergreen shrub of the genus Coffea of the Rubiaceae family. There are about 40 species of plants under the branch of the genus Coffee, of which there are only three species of coffee of commercial value-- Coffea Arabica, Coffea Robusta, and Coffea Liberica. These three varieties are called the "three native species of coffee." Arabica species account for about 7080% of the world's total production, and boutique coffee is in large demand; Robusta species account for 20,30%, which is mainly used in instant and canned coffee, and its caffeine content is twice as high as that of Elaraby species; because of its intolerance to leaf rust and poor flavor, Leiberia species are traded only in West Africa, Suriname, Libya, Ivory Coast and other countries, and are not popular all over the world.

Coffee is subject to many challenges during its growth, such as moisture, frost, diseases and insect pests. Among them, "leaf rust" is the most harmful. Natural things evolve under natural selection, and so do coffee trees. Therefore, the "Tibika species" and "bourbon species" mentioned in this article belong to the "species" of biological taxonomy, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species, which can be classified into "secondary species", "variety" and "variety" in order, among which there are mutant varieties which belong to natural evolution. There are also people who deliberately cultivate varieties with special needs. Generally speaking, the Arabica species often seen on the market are only a very general statement, the actual species are not subdivided, we can only know that their upstream ancestors are Arabica species.

The following is the evolution of the Arabica species.

[Typica] Tibica species

The species closest to the original species. The bean shape is slightly longer, like an elongated egg, known as Arabigo or criollo in Central America. It has a clean citric acid taste, sweet aftertaste, low resistance to leaf rust, not easy to take care of, low seed setting, long harvest period (harvest every two years) and low yield.

It has excellent taste and is recognized as a boutique coffee variety, but its yield is very low and it is vulnerable to rust, so more manpower management is needed. Tieka Coffee, native to Ethiopia and southeastern Sudan, is the most widely cultivated variety of coffee in the Western Hemisphere. The plant is strong, but it is not resistant to light. The top leaf of the iron pickup is red copper, which is called red top coffee.

Knowledge expansion: Arabica coffee beans first came from Ethiopia, Yemen and other places in Africa, and then were transplanted to all parts of the world.
