Qianjie-A brief introduction to the producing areas of three major varieties of coffee and Blue Mountain Coffee

Arabica species, Robusta species, Liberika species, but most of the two species in circulation in the market are Arabica and Robusta. No matter what it is, it has its advantages and disadvantages, and its purpose and use are not the same.

Arabica: premium coffee beans with first-class flavor and aroma

Arabica is a representative variety of Ethiopia of origin, and it is also produced in South Africa, Africa, Asia and other countries, accounting for 70% to 75% of the world's coffee production. Arabica has weak resistance to diseases and insect pests, so the highland area is more suitable for cultivation, especially the quality of Arabica coffee beans produced in the highland above 1500 meters is the best.

The source of two ancient pure varieties of Arabica: iron pickup and bourbon.

Iron pickup

Iron pickup is the native species of all Arabica varieties. The iron pickup comes from southern Sudan and its ripe fruit is red. The yield of this variety is relatively low and its disease resistance is extremely poor, but its excellent cup test quality still makes it popular all over the world.

Iron card coffee: Rosa, Jamaica Blue Mountains, Kona, Hawaii, Elephant Bean, Sumatra Iron pickup (Manning)

Blue Mountain / Bule Mountain

The Ironpika species from the Blue Mountains in the eastern part of Jamaica is named Blue Mountains because the mountains are surrounded by the Caribbean Sea, when the sun shines directly on the blue sea on sunny days, and the peaks reflect the bright blue light of the sea. The highest peak of the Blue Mountains, which is 2256 meters above sea level, is the highest peak in the Caribbean and a famous tourist attraction. Located in the earthquake zone, with fertile volcanic soil, humid climate, foggy and rainy all the year round, this climate has created the world-famous Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee and the second most expensive coffee in the world.
