Qianjie-Coffee varieties introduction

Coffee has gradually become a mainstream drink and entered into everyone's daily life. But many people are not familiar with it. So I would like to introduce its basic information to you today. I hope you can understand it better.

Types of coffee beans

There are about 25 major varieties of coffee in the world. But there are only three types of coffee used by humans for commercial purposes: Arabica, Robusta and Liberica.

The original coffee beans were not roasted as they are now, but boiled directly, which tasted rather bad. It was not until the 13th century that Arabs gradually developed a stir-fried processing method, so the coffee had its own unique flavor. The most widely used coffee beans today are Arabica coffee beans, Arabica. The Blue Mountain Coffee of Jamaica, Manning of Sumatra and AA of Kenya are all given different names because of their special flavor or special region.

This kind of coffee is mainly distributed between 1000 meters and 2500 meters above sea level, the temperature is 15-24 degrees, the best rainfall is 1500 to 2000mm every year, the time from flowering to fruiting is about 9 months, the caffeine content is only half that of Robusta coffee beans, and the ripe fruit will fall automatically. No wonder this is the most widely used coffee bean, ah, it turns out to be a fruit that falls off automatically, so coffee farmers only need to bend over to pick up full fruit and harvest. It's a little joke that really good coffee beans still need to be picked by hand. So we have to treat every cup of coffee well, which is hard to come by.

The second is Robusta coffee beans, Robusta. This kind of coffee beans has a strong taste and is more suitable for the production of instant coffee as we are familiar with. It mainly grows in low altitude areas, about 0 to 800m, the suitable temperature is about 24-30 degrees, the best rainfall is between 1500 and 3000mm each year, the fruit ripens between 10 and 11 months, its caffeine content is the highest, and the ripe fruit will hang on the branches. Recall that when I was in high school, I needed instant coffee with a coffee partner to refresh me, especially when I was nearing the exam, the cup of coffee could not be interrupted.

Finally, there is the most minority Liberica coffee bean, Liberica. This kind of coffee bean tastes bitter and is troublesome to deal with, but it is accepted because of its strong vitality, although the output accounts for less than 2% of the world's total. It has the strongest vitality and is suitable for growing in the subtropics, and the best temperature is between 19 and 27 degrees. Interestingly, its leaves are too large, and its reproduction can be cultivated by grafting, and it can also be used as a landscape tree, so that I also want to plant one, simple, beautiful and economical.

From the appearance, the three kinds of coffee beans have their own characteristics. Arabica beans are similar to goose eggs, long and full. Robusta beans are small and round. The most recognizable one should be Liberika, long and thin, like a boat.

In short: Qianjie is a coffee research hall, happy to share the knowledge about coffee with you, we share unreservedly just to make more friends fall in love with coffee, and there will be three low-discount coffee activities every month.
