What are the varieties of coffee what's the difference between Arabica and Robusta Liberian coffee

coffee bean

Fine coffee gradually moved from the niche market to the masses, attracting many coffee lovers. Coffee beans are complicated, and I believe many coffee whites don't know how to be good in the face of complicated coffee species. Front Street Coffee will briefly introduce you to coffee species. In plant taxonomy, coffee is a genus of coffee in the Rubiaceae family, under which there are at least 100 coffee species.

Many well-known Arabica varieties, elegant flavor, is the mainstay of gold coffee. Arabica coffee beans are characterized by mouth feel: delicate fragrance, aroma, high acidity, smooth texture: less bitter taste. Tied up are Robusta species and Liberia, Robusta having a coarse flavor and Liberica producing little and hardly used commercially. Arabica beans account for about 70% of the world's coffee production, while robusta beans account for about 30% of the world's coffee production. Arabica is planted at an altitude of more than 800 meters, and Arabica has high requirements for planting conditions. The ability to resist pests is weak. Robusta is planted below 800 meters above sea level, and has strong adaptability and strong resistance to diseases and insect pests. Robusta beans contain twice as much caffeine as Arabica beans.

Among the Arabica varieties are Bourbon and Typica. Ironhide card is the closest to arabica original, bourbon and ironhide card juxtaposed as ancient fine varieties, he is the product of ironhide card mutation.

Among the many coffee species are genetic mutations

Kenya [SL 28],[SL34](Bourbon descent)

They are Bourbon descendants selected and cultivated by French and British missionaries and researchers in Kenya in the early 20th century. They have a mixed bloodline of French missionaries, mocha and Yemeni iron pickups. High sweetness, delicate balance, pronounced citrus and plum flavors, intense acidity, rich taste and beautiful balance are the characteristics of Kenya SL28 coffee flavor.

geisha

Guisha is cultivated in many parts of the world and is the new king of fine coffee. Panama, Guatemala, Colombia and other Latin American countries have higher quality and high price. In recent years, Panama rose summer fire in 1931 quietly exported from southwest Ethiopia's rose summer mountains Kenya, and then through Tanzania, Costa Rica, in the 1960s when transplanted to Panama. After another half century, it was a surprise to defeat the ever-victorious Bourbon, Kadura, Kaduai, Iron Pickup and other varieties.

Yellow Bourbon

It is a yellow-skinned variety of bourbon in the Brazilian state of Sao Paulo. The fruit of coffee usually turns red when it ripens, but yellow bourbon does not turn red when it ripens.

kaddura

Kadura is a natural variant of Bourbon. It was discovered on a plantation in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais between 1915 and 1918. Bourbon grown on plantations has mutations in a set of genes that cause plants to grow smaller (similar to dwarfism). The new coffee species, in its new biological form, is known locally as Caturra in Guarani, meaning "small." It is sometimes referred to as "Nanico."

Pakas

A Bourbon variety found in El Salvador. 1935 Salvadoran coffee farmers Paccas select high-yield San Ramón bourbon and move the varieties to farms. A genetic mutation was identified in 1956.

Vilasac

Bourbon variety first discovered in Costa Rica in the 1960s.

Elephant bean

The bean is at least three times larger than Arabica, the largest in the world, hence its name.

Arabica interspecific hybrids:

new world

A natural hybrid of bourbon and sumatran tibeka of the same genus arabica, first discovered in brazil.

kaduai

A hybrid of Arabica, a hybrid of New World and Khadura.

Pakamala

It's a hybrid of the iron-pica variety of elephant beans and the bourbon variety of pacas.

Kent

A hybrid variety of iron pica found in india with high yield and strong disease resistance.
