Qianjie-introduction of three major coffee bean varieties

Arabica- Arabica

Arabica has excellent flavor, but its yield is low and it is not resistant to diseases and insect pests. It has high requirements for climate, soil and other planting conditions. General boutique coffee is Arabica.

Arabica originated in the Ethiopian plateau and was introduced into Europe through the Arab region in the 16th century. Arabica coffee accounts for 75% and 80% of all coffee. Its excellent aroma makes it a coffee variety loved by people all over the world. The world-famous Blue Mountain Coffee and Mocha Coffee are almost all Arabica coffee. This variety of coffee beans are not resistant to diseases and insect pests, the premise of development is relatively harsh, but the taste and caffeine content are better than Robusta.

Robusta- Robusta

The flavor of Robusta is not as good as that of Arabica, but it has high yield, fast growth, good resistance to diseases and insect pests, and the planting requirement is not as high as Arabica, so it is often used as commercial beans.

The hot and humid zone that is not suitable for the growth of Arabica coffee is the place where Robusta coffee grows. Robusta has a unique aroma and bitter taste, accounting for only 2%-3% of the mixed coffee, and the whole cup of coffee becomes Robusta flavor, so its flavor is particularly distinct.

It is generally used in industrial coffee, such as instant coffee, bottled coffee and liquid coffee, with a caffeine content of about 3.2 per cent, much higher than 1.5 per cent of Arabica. The main producing countries are Indonesia, Vietnam and West Africa centered on C ô te d'Ivoire, Algeria and Angola.

Liberica- Liberia

Liberica, that is, large-grained species, originated in Liberia in Africa, and a few countries such as Malaysia, has a strong ability to adapt to high or low temperature, humidity or dryness, and its flavor is worse than that of Arabica species, so it is only traded in some West African countries (Libya, C ô te d'Ivoire, etc.), or planted for research.

Many friends who have just come into contact with coffee do not know what black coffee is. In fact, it is pure coffee. Those who do not add any seasoning are called black coffee.

Knowledge: high-altitude planting areas are all 4000 to 6000 feet above sea level. The planting temperature needs a temperature climate between 15 degrees and 25 degrees, and the annual rainfall must reach 1500 mm to 2000 mm. At the same time, the rainfall time should be in line with the flowering cycle of coffee trees.

In short: Qianjie is a coffee research hall, happy to share the knowledge about coffee with you, we share unreservedly just to make more friends fall in love with coffee, and there will be three low-discount coffee activities every month. The reason is that Qianjie wants to make more friends drink the best coffee at the lowest price, which has been Qianjie's tenet for 6 years!
