Qianjie-introduction of three major coffee beans and iron pickup coffee varieties

There are three primary species of coffee: Arabica, Robusta, and Liberika. Because of their flavor and cultivation, there are only the first two kinds of coffee in circulation in the market, that is, Arabica and Robusta, accounting for almost 73% of the market.

These three native species are spread to different producing areas around the world, resulting in different flavor changes, just like apples, the taste of apples in each province is different, the varieties are also different, and there are great differences between domestic and foreign ones.

In a broad sense, there are two kinds of coffee beans in the coffee world, Arabica and Robusta. Arabica species account for 75% of the world's coffee production, its planting conditions are more stringent, higher altitude, with a broad and varied potential flavor, the first-class Arabica species are generally made into boutique coffee for sale. Robusta species, also known as "sturdy beans", has strong vitality and low production cost, and is generally made into instant coffee or canned coffee.

Comparison of two flavors

Arabica is usually regarded as "high-quality" coffee beans because it is rich in flavor and does not have the strong bitterness of robusta beans. Many manufacturers will specially mark their roasted coffee beans as 100% Arabica beans to show their quality.

Because Arabica coffee produced in different regions, different elevations and different climates usually has its own characteristics and can show a completely different regional flavor. After proper baking, the aroma of fruit and the sweetness of caramel, in most cases, have a better aroma and flavor than robusta beans.

Robusta's flavor is usually dull and pungent, and most of it is planted in low altitude areas. There is little difference in flavor between different regions and different climates, and there is a lack of regional personality. The taste of low-value beans in Robusta after deep baking is usually the smell of rubber tires, which is difficult to show a delicate flavor.

Iron pickup (Typica)

This is a variety of coffee native to Yemen, and because of the spread of the Dutch and the French, the bean has gradually spread throughout Central and South America and become one of the most common beans in the world. The yield of Tieka coffee is less, the top leaf is bronzed, the fruit is cone-shaped, and the quality is very high. If planted and handled properly, iron pickup coffee beans will have high sweetness, pure taste and pleasant acidity. It is the oldest variety of coffee with bourbon.

Knowledge: Kaddura's adaptability is strong, does not need shade trees, direct exposure to the sun can also be full of vitality, known as exposure coffee (Sun Coffee), can adapt to high-density planting, but must apply more fertilizer, increase costs, so the initial acceptance of coffee farmers is not high.
