Qianjie-introduction of Malagjippe varieties

Coffee tree is a flowering plant of the genus Coffea of Rubiaceae. At present, there are about 120 species, ranging from small shrubs to 18-meter-tall trees. Wild coffee species grow irregularly in the tropics, and new species are still being discovered. Strictly speaking, only two major species of coffee are cultivated to produce coffee: Arabica coffee (Arabica) and Canifra coffee (English Canephora, often referred to as "Robusta coffee"). However, in order to meet the needs of domestic coffee consumption, a third species, Liberian coffee, has been planted in a small number of countries such as the Philippines.

The largest coffee fruit and bean in boutique coffee is Maragogype Malago Gippi, whose nickname "Elephant Bean" is better known. Maragogype Marago Gippe was first discovered in the Maragogype region of the state of Bahia Pacia in northeastern Brazil, from which the name comes from.

Elephant beans (Maragogype, also known as Marago Gippe), with soft texture and super-large particles, are the largest in the world. In 1870, they were first discovered in the Maragogype producing area of Bahia in northeastern Brazil, hence the name. The flavor of elephant bean is relatively light, but it can have a better flavor above 1000 meters, and it is suitable for moderate baking and not suitable for deep baking.

Marago Gippe, thought to be a natural genetic mutant of Tibika, was first found near Marago Zeppe (just one word short) in the Bahia region of Brazil. Marago Gippe is a well-known large coffee bean and a patrilineal variety of Pacamara.

The image shows that compared to ordinary coffee beans, it is a "giant" and is more than three times the size of the usual Arabica beans. At present, the cultivation of elephant beans is mainly distributed in Central America. According to the data of WORLD COFFEE RESEARCH, it takes four years from the first planting to the fruit of coffee, like beans and iron pickups, and the yield is very low. Because of its large size, it cannot be treated with conventional coffee processing equipment, so the cultivation of elephant beans is not popular.

Knowledge: coffee roasting is a process that produces Mena reaction and caramel reaction inside raw beans, producing more wonderful flavors.
