Qianjie-Arabica variety

After drinking coffee for such a long time, have you noticed why some coffee tastes soft and mellow, while others taste sour and bitter? Of course, there are many factors that determine a good cup of coffee, but the variety of coffee beans plays a key role.

At present, coffee beans are mostly concentrated in the equatorial area between 25 degrees north latitude and 30 degrees south latitude, with high altitude, tropical climate and fertile soil to grow high-quality coffee beans with full grains and strong coffee flavor. The cultivation of coffee beans around the world is mainly concentrated in Brazil, Colombia, Indonesia and Vietnam. In addition to geographical location, there are many other factors that affect coffee quality: planting methods, soil fertility, weather, especially rainfall and light, and the exact latitude. The above factors combined with the treatment of raw coffee beans have created the diversity of coffee from different countries and regions in the world.

Rabica species are extremely demanding for living environment-they need to grow at higher elevations (6 to 2000 meters above sea level), such as the famous Blue Mountain coffee beans and Ethiopian coffee beans, the ancestor of coffee. While there is a requirement for altitude, it also requires a humid climate and fertile soil to meet Miss Arabica's basic requirements.

The most important problem is that delicate Arabica beans are afraid of direct sunlight, so shade trees need to be planted beside them in areas where the sun is strong. Even under such living conditions, the frail and sickly Miss Arabica is vulnerable to the threat of diseases / pests that prevent her from growing up normally. Not to mention her poor ability to cultivate offspring, the yield per unit area is very low.

Arabica and Roberta are two very important varieties in the commercial coffee industry. Arabica beans grow best at 3000 feet above sea level. The coffee is of high quality and strong aroma. But the caffeine content is only half that of Robertson beans. Arabica beans account for 80% of the global coffee trade. Its excellent flavor and aroma make it the only coffee that can be drunk directly. The world-famous Blue Mountain Coffee uses Arabica beans.

Robester beans grow at low elevations, are easy to grow, have high yields, are resistant to diseases and insect pests, but have a pungent woody smell. If you need cheap coffee, or if you need high caffeine, you can choose. Robusta coffee beans have a unique aroma and bitter taste, and the content of caffeine is much higher than that of Arabica.
