Qianjie-introduction of three major varieties of coffee

1. Arabica species

Arabica beans, the world-famous Blue Mountain Coffee, Mocha Coffee and so on, are almost all Arabica species.

Shape: the shape of the bean is small, the front is long oval, the middle crack is narrow and tortuous, and the arc on the back of the bean is flat, uniform in size and shiny in color.

Origin: Arabica coffee is grown in Brazil, Colombia, Central America, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Jamaica, Mexico and Ethiopia in South America. Coffee beans that are generally familiar to everyone, such as Santos in Brazil, Mantenin in Sumatra, Yemenmoka and the Blue Mountains in Jamaica, are all high-quality coffee beans grown in Arabica.

Because Arabica coffee beans have excellent aroma, balanced taste, and low caffeine content, which is only about half that of Robasta, it accounts for about 70% of the total coffee planted, and the price is relatively high.

two。 Robasta species

Robasta species accounts for about 20% to 30% of the world's output.

Shape: the bean shape is larger, the front is gradually round, the back is round and convex, and the crack is straight.

Origin: Robasta Coffee Tree originated in Madagascar in west-central and eastern Africa and Indonesia in Asia.

But its finished product tastes more bitter than Arabica, its caffeine content is higher, and its quality is much lower, so it is mostly used to make instant coffee. Since it is mainly produced in Africa, most Africans drink robastian coffee.

3. Liberian species

The Liberian species, the large-grained species, is native to Liberia in Africa, as well as a few countries such as Malaysia.

Its cultivation history is slightly shorter than the other two coffee trees. Liberian coffee trees are suitable for growing in lowlands. Its trunk is high and strong, it is 18 meters high, its leaves are large and tough, and its fruits and coffee beans are also very large. Its seed coat is close to the seed kernel and is scarlet when it is mature.

Strong flavor, medium caffeine content, strong irritation and poor quality. Because of its unique taste, low demand and small cultivation face value, it produces less than 5% of the world's coffee production.

Knowledge: coffee production areas in the world are mainly distributed in the south and north of the equator, also known as the "coffee belt"
