Front Street-introduction to Heirloom Coffee

Africa is recognized as the birthplace of coffee, although coffee is produced throughout the continent, but thanks to the high altitude of East Africa and the common volcanic soil, high-quality coffee in Africa usually comes from Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania and other countries.

Ethiopia: located in northeast Africa, as a recognized birthplace of coffee, the quality of coffee is very outstanding. Coffee here is usually native to Ethiopia, Heirloom, taste very diverse, flowers, fruit, everything, washed beans are usually delicate and elegant, sun-dried beans are unrestrained and charming.

When we taste coffee, we usually think about what kind of coffee beans we drink and how many varieties there are. Maybe we don't always pay attention to this, but we also need to know something about it. The artificially planted coffee trees originated in Ethiopia, and a coffee variety called Typica is still widely cultivated by coffee farmers in various producing areas; in addition to iron pickups, there are many existing coffee varieties, such as some natural mutants and other mixed-race varieties under the influence of natural environmental factors.

Some varieties have clear flavor characteristics, while others depend on the growth environment of micro-soil conditions (Terroir) and planting methods or raw bean refining treatment and other factors to produce different characteristics.

Few consumers have ever noticed that there are still many different varieties under Arabica coffee trees, mainly due to the fact that the way coffee is traded around the world has always been distinguished by country of origin. A batch of coffee beans may be made up of fruits from several different coffee farms, and at the time of export, no one can know exactly which varieties the producers of these coffee beans have mixed with the original basic varieties. It only knows that the beans are produced in a particular area.

At present, this phenomenon is gradually changing, but the landowners or producers may not know much about the influence of varieties on flavor, and we consumers are even less.

Knowledge: Elaraby plus seed and Robasta seed are divided into individual coffee and Italian coffee according to the matching of coffee beans.
