Introduction of Qianjie-bourbon varieties

There are hundreds of varieties of coffee beans, and Arabica accounts for about 70% of the world's coffee production. Although Arabika is more vulnerable to diseases and insect pests than Robusta, their flavor and aroma are more attractive to most consumers.

There are many reasons why producers choose to grow a certain crop: yield, flavor presentation, local environmental conditions and so on. It is important to be able to identify coffee varieties to avoid confusing batches during harvest and processing. If two or more batches of coffee beans are confused, it may lead to flavor confusion and lower than expected cup test scores.

Tell me briefly what bourbon is. Bourbon coffee was originally grown on the island of Reunion, which was also known as le Bourbon before 1789. Bourbon, the second species caused by the mutation of Typica, belongs to the oldest existing coffee variety.

The raw beans of the bourbon family are relatively round and small, and the well-known bourbon varieties: red bourbon and yellow bourbon, bourbon coffee has more and more abundant varieties, such as Kaddura, Pacas, pointed bourbon and so on.

Bourbon has the same tall and conical shape as the tin pickup, but it has more secondary branches and is thicker. The main trunk and branches are thicker, so they are stronger than tin cards and are relatively less flexible. The branches are denser, and this increase in density means that bourbon can produce about 30% more coffee cherries than tin pickle.

The bourbon leaves are wider and rougher than tin cards, and the edges of the leaves are wavy. Young leaves are usually green, but sometimes have bronze tips. Coffee cherries are round and change to a variety of colors when ripe, such as red, orange or yellow (but the color on the same plant is the same).

Knowledge: there are many varieties of bourbon, among which the pointed bourbon is close to extinction and has only been restored in recent years. It is a low-caffeinated coffee bean with very high quality.
