Iron pickup coffee bean is one of the varieties of Arabica coffee, and the earliest coffee variety found is Arabica. To put it in detail: iron pickup coffee beans are Arabica coffee beans, but Arabica coffee beans are not necessarily iron pickup coffee beans.

According to biology, coffee varieties are divided into three major varieties: Arabica, Robusta, and Liberika, and the earliest coffee variety discovered is Arabica. Arabica coffee is grown economically in the world with a total output of 70% MUR 80%. It has a variety of excellent flavors and a variety of excellent acidity, low bitterness and high sweetness, but less output.

The iron pickup variety is currently recognized as the prototype of all Arabica coffee varieties. it can be traced back to the birthplace of Arabica coffee in southwestern Ethiopia and is one of the most important varieties of Arabica coffee.

The spreading History of Iron pickup Coffee

A batch of wild Arabica coffee trees collected in southern Ethiopia were brought to Yemen between the 15th and 16th centuries. Then in 1700, the seeds of these coffee trees were brought to the coast of Malabar in India and West Java in Indonesia, and were also named Typica. In 1760, Ironka's seeds were sent from Java to the Dutch botanical garden, then to the South American colony of Suriname in 1722, and then to northern Brazil in 1727.

By the late 1800s, tin coffee was grown in Central America, South America and Jamaica in the Caribbean, and later tin cards from Central America spread to Africa, Asia, and then to America.

As a crop, iron card varieties will modify their genes according to the local soil and climate before they reach a region, so that they can better adapt to the environment of a region. Therefore, there will be differences in the flavor of iron pickup coffee from different regions, but it is the cleanest of so many Arabica varieties in taste.

What are the flavor characteristics of iron pickup coffee from different regions?

At present, island-type climate areas: Papua New Guinea, Jamaica, Hawaii Kona mainly grow iron card varieties. A small number of varieties of tin coffee are grown in Yunnan and Ethiopia.

Among the iron pickup beans currently purchased from Qianjie Coffee are Paradise Bird from Papua New Guinea, Blue Mountain No. 1 in Jamaica, and Yunnan Tieka small beans grown in Qianjie Coffee.

Among the iron pickup coffee beans in the three regions, the one that best reflects the clean, quiet, balanced and mellow taste of the iron pickup is Jamaica Blue Mountain No. 1! After medium-deep roasting of Qianjie coffee, Lanshan No. 1 shows a strong dark chocolate aroma, slightly citrus acidity, caramel sweetness, is a sweet and sour balance, solid and mellow coffee beans.

The bird of paradise, which is also grown in an island-shaped climate, has the title of "Little Blue Mountain", so Qianjie coffee is also roasted in medium and deep depth. Although it is also a sweet-sour and bitter-balanced coffee bean with the same roasting degree, the bird of paradise as a whole is not as mellow as Blue Mountain one coffee beans, but it is very comfortable to drink.

On the other hand, the taste and flavor of Qianjie Coffee grown at an altitude of 1300m in Lincang, Yunnan Province will be much cleaner than Katim small-grain coffee in other Yunnan areas, thanks to the quiet and clean characteristics of the tin card variety itself.

Qianjie Coffee Yunnan Tieka Coffee adopts traditional sun treatment and uses moderate roasting. After brewing, it can show plum-like acidity, nutty aroma, brown sugar-like sweetness and black tea-like sweetness.
