Qianjie-brief introduction of Coffee planting conditions

In botany, coffee belongs to the coffee genus of Rubiaceae, which is dominated by Arabica and Robsta, while fine coffee is mainly composed of tin card, bourbon and Kaddura under Arabica. Coffee trees are evergreen shrubs planted in more than 70 countries with suitable climates, about 25 degrees north and south latitudes in tropical and subtropical areas, blossom and produce cherry-like coffee fruits after planting for about 3 to 5 years.

After removing the exocarp and pulp of the coffee fruit, the seeds with endocarp were planted in the nursery. After 1 or 2 months, the seeds will slowly germinate, grow into the main root and support the seedlings. After about 9 months, they will grow into a sapling with 12-16 leaves about 50cm, and then transplanted to the manor. Coffee will not blossom for the first time until it has been planted for 3-5 years (at least 3 years). White coffee flowers usually have five petals and usually have some jasmine aroma.

The flowering period of the coffee tree is very short. It will wither in about 3 days and wither in a week. After the flowers bloom, the fruit grows slowly. After 6-8 months, the coffee fruit ripens slowly. At the beginning, the coffee fruit is green and hard, slowly changes color and softens, and turns into ripe red fruit (there will also be special beans such as yellow bourbon. The color will turn yellow when ripe. ), so the coffee fruit is also called "red cherry" or "coffee cherry".

Robusta (Robusta)

Strong sour taste and strong taste

Planting area:

Robbins Tara beans are mainly produced in Indonesia, India, Vietnam, Laos, Hainan and Guangdong.

Output:

Robota beans account for about 30% of the world's coffee production.

Difference in altitude of suitable species:

Robusta is planted below 800 meters above sea level. Robusta has strong adaptability and strong resistance to diseases and insect pests.

Flavor:

Robusta has a weak sour taste, with the aroma of trees and wheat, and high-quality Robusta beans are usually used to match Italian beans. It tastes more fragrant and lighter, with less sour taste and more bitter taste, and is often used to make instant coffee.

Knowledge: Robusta coffee beans can not only play the role of "price adjustment", but also increase the alcohol thickness of coffee.

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!
