Qianjie-A brief introduction to Arabica Coffee and Catura Coffee

At present, small fruit coffee is widely used in the world, that is, Arabica bean (Coffea Arabica), which basically covers 70% of the world coffee market. It is the oldest and most traditional coffee variety. It originated in Ethiopia in Africa, was widely popular in the Arab world, and was later introduced into Europe through the Ottoman Empire. And with the European colonial expansion of the road into the American continent, and finally all over the world.

Compared with the other two kinds of beans, Arabica beans have a strong aroma, soft taste and sometimes some sour taste, which is the most unique among the three different kinds of coffee beans. therefore, it is widely favored by coffee lovers all over the world.

[Caturra] Kaddura species

Mutant of Bourbon. It was first found in Brazil and began to be planted for commercial use in Minas Gerais, Brazil in 1937. It has a sour taste of lemon or citrus, but it is not as sweet as Typica and Bourbon in terms of sweetness, because the sweetness of Caturra depends on the number and dose of fertilizer applied by growers, and it has high production capacity, but if it is to maintain production capacity, it must be continuously fertilized and pruned, so the trees are short and have many branches. Although production capacity has increased, production is still limited because of the two-year harvest period and the high cost of care. Bourbon is a genetic mutant of Arabica.

Catula is an ordinary dwarf plant with ordinary (average) quality and ordinary bean size, and WCR also calls the ordinary yield "Catula yield (Caturra-like)". It is prone to leaf rust and pests and usually grows in Brazil and Latin America. I wrote it out because this variety is very common on the market.

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.
