Qianjie-Kaddura introduction

At present, most of the Colombian manors adopt the mixed mode of 70% Kaddura and 30% Colombia, and the delicious Dibica has disappeared. The overall coffee variety configuration in Colombia is roughly 50% in Kaddura, 30% in Colombia and 20% in Tibica. With rich landforms, low latitudes and high elevations, Colombia has excellent conditions for the growth of boutique coffee.

The Costa Rican coffee area, located between three and eight degrees north latitude, is a low-latitude coffee belt. It can be harvested twice a year, and ripe coffee can be harvested almost every month from south to north. Kaddura, which was introduced from Brazil in the 1960s, now accounts for 45-50% of the country's output and has replaced the earliest Tibica.

If you often read about coffee, you may see such names as bourbon / bourbon bourbon, yellow bourbon yellow bourbon, Kaddura Caturra, Kaduai Catuai, iron pickup Typica and so on. In fact, these are different varieties of Arabica coffee.

Kaddura (Caturra), a natural variety of Arabica variety bourbon, was discovered in Brazil in 1937. Its tree is not as tall and shorter as bourbon. Due to inheriting the blood of bourbon, the resistance is relatively weak, but the yield is higher than that of bourbon. Although found in Brazil, Kaddura is not suitable for growing in Brazil, so it is not planted on a large scale in Brazil, but is popular in Central and South America, such as Colombia, Costa Rica and Nicaragua. Kaddura is planted on a large scale.

Kaddura is easy to harvest because of its short trees, but it is a pity that, like bourbon, it has a periodic problem of production capacity fluctuation every two years. Flavor and bourbon beans are comparable or slightly worse, more important is super adaptability, do not need shade trees, direct exposure to the sun can also be full of vitality, commonly known as exposed coffee (Sun Coffee). At the same time, Kaddura can adapt to high-density planting, but more fertilizer must be applied to increase the cost. In academic circles, some people call Kaddura the bourbon of dense and exposed version, which can be said to hit the nail on the head.

At the site where Kaddura is planted, the higher the altitude, the higher the quality, but the corresponding yield is also less. Compared with these botanical characteristics, people may be more concerned about the taste of Kaddura.

Knowledge: Arabica coffee is generally thought to be originated from the Ethiopian plateau, widely distributed in the tropics, after repeated mutation and breeding, derived many varieties.
