The development of decaf varieties what are the criteria for decaf?

When did decaf become popular? generally speaking, the main reason for drinking coffee and falling in love with coffee is the caffeine in coffee, but with the change of times, people's pace of life will change accordingly.

Stories about low-cause varieties of Laurina

Since the 2018 world coffee champion used the Laurina variety in the winning show, they have become more popular. Nowadays, interest in coffee varieties with high natural quality and low caffeine content is growing.

Ourbon Pointu, or Laurina, is native to the island of Reunion (La R%uE9union) and used to be named% uEEle Bourbon. In the early 19th century, the first coffee tree was found on the island of Reunion. In the 20th century, the French botanist Auguste Chevalier named the tree 'Laurina', which is very similar to the laurel. Laurina was also introduced to Brazil in the 19th century. Around 1932, researchers began to study the variety at Instituto Agron%uF4mico de Campinas (IAC). The first official study was released in 1954. As Brazilian researchers described in IAC in 1954, Laurina is a mutation caused by a single recessive gene.

IAC's study concluded that Laurina could not grow as successfully as other Arabica coffee varieties, mainly because of its low natural caffeine content.

Caffeine levels are like the immune system of coffee plants, so low-caffeine varieties die out quickly. After planting for a year, you will see that 30% of the coffee trees will die.

In 2006, two tons of green Laurina from the island of Reunion were sold in Japan, proclaiming the success of the breed's re-cultivation efforts, and the Japan Fine Coffee Association declared the Laurina batch "quality".

Is Cannon willing to grow decaf varieties?

In 2018, two 86 + Laurina lots, one washed and one insolated. The flavor has the flavor of guava, honey and plum, and its complex flavor characteristics mean that it is likely to attract a wider range of boutique coffee consumers.

Because it is more in line with the consumer needs of young people and the ideal flavor and aroma, Laurina and Aramosa (as well as any other emerging low-caffeine varieties) have potential in the field of boutique coffee.

However, their low caffeine levels seem to be bad for their growth and make them expensive to grow. In addition, farmers who have a weak sense of smell and few channels are reluctant to grow.
