Qianjie-introduction of three major coffee bean varieties

Arabica species (scientific name Coffea arabica)

Arabica coffee is mainly produced in South America, Central America, Africa and Asia.

At the beginning, it was eaten as a medicine, used as a secret medicine to cure the body and mind, or used to awaken the brain, and then it was introduced into Europe from Arab countries, and then became a favorite drink all over the world.

Arabica coffee, which accounts for about 60% of all coffee, grows at colder tropical high altitude. its excellent flavor and aroma are due to its low resistance to dryness, frost, diseases and insect pests, especially its natural predator, leaf rust, and high growth requirements, so it can produce high-quality coffee fruit.

Growing in a hot and humid zone, insect-resistant and disease-resistant, it is easy to grow, so it has a unique aroma, smelling like raw peanuts when unbaked, while the coffee produced has obvious bitterness and low acidity, weak wet aroma and wood. it only needs to account for 2% or 3% of the mixed coffee, the whole cup of coffee becomes Robusta flavor, her flavor is so bright and strong. It is generally used in instant coffee, bottled coffee, liquid coffee and other industrial production of coffee.
