Introduction to the varieties of Qianjie-pointed bourbon coffee

Another variety of Arabica, bourbon. In the 17th century, the French stole 60 coffee saplings from Yemen and shipped them to the French island of Bourbon for planting. in the end, only two saplings survived, the first spread of the "round bourbon".

In the early 18th century, a variety of "round bourbon" was found on Bourbon Island, with smaller trees and leaves, sharper and thinner coffee beans, and lower caffeine content, known as semi-low-cause "pointed bourbon". Pointed bourbon is the most expensive coffee variety in the world today because it is difficult to grow.

In the middle and late 18th century, bourbon was introduced into Brazil and crossed with red-top iron pickup to increase the disease resistance of the seedlings. Bourbon varieties began to take root and sprout in South America.

After the 19th century, French missionaries introduced coffee seeds from Bourbon to Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and other countries, and bourbon varieties were bred again in East Africa outside Ethiopia.

The two ancient varieties of "Ironpickup" and "bourbon" have been propagated and tempered in different soil and water in the new world for hundreds of years, and have gradually evolved into thousands of varieties and hybrids. It can be divided into "Iron Variety Series", "Bourbon Variety Series", "intraspecific Hybrid Series" under Arabica, Arabica and Robusta, and four categories of "interspecific hybrid series" resulting from the hybrid of Liberika.

The sour aroma of coffee fruit is obvious, the aroma of milk and cedar is more obvious than that of iron pickup, and the amplitude of taste spectrum is larger than that of iron pickup. There are many varieties of bourbon all over the world. "Kaddura" found in Brazil is a variety of bourbon at high altitude. the higher the altitude, the lower the yield, but the better the flavor. "Pacas" is another variety of dwarf bourbon found in El Salvador, which does not require high altitude. It can grow well and have a good flavor at 1000 meters. Vera Shatch and Vera Lopez are also variants of the dwarf bourbon. Yemeni mocha coffee, with small trees and exquisite coffee beans, also belongs to the bourbon variety.

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.
