Qianjie-Arabica variety introduction

The planting conditions of "Arabica" coffee are relatively stringent, requiring higher elevations (6 to 2000 meters above sea level), fertile soil fertility, adequate moisture, proper sunshine conditions and shade. "Arabica" coffee species are less resistant to diseases and insect pests and are vulnerable to damage.

In addition, the yield of coffee trees per unit area of Arabica is also low. At present, "Arabica" coffee accounts for 75% of the world's coffee production, and of these "Arabica" coffee production, only 10% of Arabica coffee quality can be classified as "boutique coffee (Specialty Coffee)."

Arabica coffee has a varied and broad potential flavor. Arabica coffee produced in different regions, different elevations and different climates usually has its own characteristics and can show a completely different flavor. "Arabica" coffee smells like grass when it is not roasted. After proper roasting, it shows "fruity" (medium-light roasting) and "caramel sweetness" (deep roasting). Generally speaking, it has a better aroma and flavor than Robusta beans.

High-quality Arabica coffee requires complicated manual picking, selection and meticulous processing, so the world's most expensive and best coffee beans are Arabica coffee.

In addition to varieties, coffee beans are judged by origin and grade. But even in the same country, there are advantages and disadvantages of coffee beans in different producing areas. Taking Ethiopia, the origin of Arabica coffee beans, for example, the whole territory can be divided into nine major coffee producing areas, including five boutique coffee areas: Sidamo, Yegashefi, Harald, Lim, Lekampudi, and four general commercial bean producing areas: Gemma, Illu Gbagbo, Tibby and Becca.

Ethiopia is the origin of Arabica coffee beans. Ethiopian coffee, which grows in the natural wild environment, is called "wilderness coffee". It retains the most primitive and natural taste of coffee beans and has the most direct and full expression of the soil. Among them, Sidamo and Yega Xuefei are the most outstanding. Yega Xuefei originally belonged to the sub-region of Sidamo, but it was independent because of its special flavor.

Lightly baked Yega Chuefei has unique sweet aromas of lemon, flowers and honey, soft acidity and citrus flavors, fresh and bright on the palate. It became an international hit almost overnight, became the target of experts, and has now become synonymous with Ethiopian boutique coffee.

Knowledge: Robusta is planted below 800 meters above sea level. Robusta has strong adaptability and strong resistance to diseases and insect pests.
