Introduction to the varieties of Qianjie-Robusta

The genus caffeine is located in the family Rubiaceae, a dicotyledonous plant of the angiosperm phylum. Coffee trees belong to the genus Coffea, distributed in the tropical regions of the Old World, mainly concentrated in Africa. However, there are about 70 species of coffee trees, but most of the more common and mostly used for commercial purposes are Arabica and Robusta.

However, Robusta has another name, and that is Canephora, which is not very well known. The Canefra species is generally called the Robbosa species. To be exact, the Robusta species should be included in the Canefa species, because the Robusta species is a branch of the Canefra species, and it is gradually developed and widely known. That is, what we commonly call medium-grain coffee, until later, the Robusta species naturally became synonymous with the Canefa species.

Most of the planting areas are concentrated in Brazil, West Africa and subtropics.

The production of Robusta species is more than that of Arabica species, but it is too bitter, which is not very agreeable. Once upon a time, a group of people appeared in order to change the bitter taste of Robusta species. Under the banner of improvement and mouth, they did it with great fanfare. Facts have proved that in the end, there is still nothing to do, and its taste is not only bitter, but also has the smell and texture of wood and soil. The tannins are low, but unusually mellow. To tell you the truth, don't look so badly on the Robusta species. There is also a hierarchy of the Robusta species. A good Robusta species has always been an important component of Italian coffee culture.

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