A complete list of coffee varieties names/How many varieties of hand-brewed coffee are there? What are the differences in the flavor characteristics of different coffee varieties?

Occasionally, we will meet some coffee guys with "sharp eyes" in coffee shops. They can identify the processing method or origin of coffee with a glance or a bite. What's more, the variety of coffee beans can be directly identified. So this made many friends marvel: "How much coffee does it take to drink to reach this level? "But actually, it's not too difficult to achieve this level. Because just as Qian Jie mentioned in "Teach You to Distinguish at a glance whether Coffee Is Sunned or Washed", this is all technical. After all, the appearance of coffee beans is not the same. The reason why there are different coffee varieties is because there are certain differences between these coffee beans, both in flavor and appearance, and of course, it is not limited to this. Simply put, as long as we capture the appearance characteristics of a certain coffee bean that are different from others and unique to it, then we can "identify the variety of coffee beans at a glance"!

So today Qianjie will come to share with you the appearance characteristics of some common breeds. Just what everyone needs to pay attention to is that due to the very diverse variety of coffee beans, there are not a few people who look similar, just like Jay Chou has countless "divisions." Therefore, the method of identifying varieties based on appearance alone will be more limited, but you can also regard it as a kind of science popularization of varieties and get to know what common coffee varieties look like ~

1. Iron pickup/Typica The first thing to introduce on the street is Arabica's image endorsement bean-Iron pickup. As long as you see an introduction of Arabica coffee beans on the Internet and accompanying pictures, then nine out of ten beans in the pictures are iron pickups. Iron pickup trucks are often called "long-body beans" because their bean shapes are usually oval and slender, with round and full grains, with a curved midline in an "S" shape, a relatively large particle size, and a very standard growth.

Due to the better flavor, iron pickup trucks are still grown in many areas even though the yield is relatively low and it is not so easy to grow. For example, among the Qianjie bean lists, Qianjie Jamaica·Blue Mountain No. 1, Papua New Guinea·Paradise Bird, which are suitable for hand-brewed and suitable for making espresso, and Qianjie 2013, which Qianjie itself planted in Yunnan Manor, are all iron pickup trucks. From these beans, we can not only taste the roasted aroma of chocolate, nuts, etc., but also feel the unique fragrance of iron pickup trucks. It's very good ~

2. The reason why Bourbon/Bourbon iron pickup trucks are called "long-body beans" is largely inseparable from Bourbon, because Bourbon's bean type can be said to be diametrically opposite to that of iron pickup trucks. Bourbon is a natural variant of the Typica variety. The Tienika coffee tree originally grown in Yemen has mutated and the coffee beans produced are round, so Bourbon is also called "round coffee beans." In addition to the mixed round bean shape, Bourbon is relatively smaller, but the overall size is plump and thick, and can be said to be short and plump.

Front Street Rwandan coffee from Front Street Doudan is the bourbon variety. The flavor it brewed is clean and traditional, with berries, citrus, and fresh green tea. It's very good ~

3. Kadura/Caturra Kadura is a derivative of Bourbon. Because of its small plant, high yield, and ability to withstand sun exposure, it has become the main planting variety in many producing areas. Its bean shape is relatively close to Bourbon and is also round, but its body shape is relatively slightly longer and is a chubby oval.

Among the Qianjie bean lists, the Qianjie Costa Rican Blackberry variety suitable for hand-brewed and Italian production is Kadura. The coffee brewed by it will have obvious dark berries, grapes, floral flowers, and a slight fermentation flavor. It tastes sweet and sour, and has a light taste. It is very good ~

4. Kaduai/Catuai is a variety bred by Kadura and the New World. As a mixed second generation, it not only inherits Kadura's high yield and good planting characteristics, but also has relatively higher disease resistance. Therefore, after Kaduai was released, it replaced many old varieties and became the main planting variety in many places. And since Kaduai is an artificially cultivated hybrid between Kaduai and the New World, and then the New World is the result of a natural hybrid between Bourbon and Tiepka, this makes Kaduai's body more oval, and then its tail part of the bean body will be longer and longer.

Among the front street bean lists, the coffee beans suitable for hand-brewed and espresso coffee are the front street panama and sun-dried Arida variety is Kaduai. The coffee brewed with it will have the sweet aroma of peaches and oranges, green tea and similar to red wine. The ending rhyme is very good.

5. SL28/SL34 SL28 and SL34 are Kenya's star varieties. They are two varieties selected through Scott's laboratory. They not only have impressive flavors, but also have relatively considerable yields. Therefore, in addition to extensive cultivation in Kenya, there are also many production areas that have introduced these two brothers for cultivation and production. Although they are often mixed grown, because the respective bean type characteristics are too obvious, we can easily distinguish SL28 and SL34 from a pack of mixed beans. After identification, SL28 belongs to Bourbon or its variant, while SL34 belongs to Ironpica or its variant. One is relatively round and the other is relatively long and easy to identify.

The varieties of Qianjie Kenya·Little Tomato in Qianjie Bean List are SL28 &SL34. The coffee brewed with them will have obvious sour aromas of little tomatoes and dark plum, solid and full taste, with caramel sweetness, super delicious.

6. Guixia/Geisha Guixia I believe everyone is familiar with it, and its characteristics are also very distinctive. The traditional rose summer, that is, the rose summer we have passed down from word of mouth, is the Panamanian rose summer variety T2722. It has a slender body with pointed ends and a plump middle, which looks a bit like a sausage bun.

Because its morphological characteristics are very different from the other varieties mentioned above, we can easily distinguish Guixia (T2722) from the other beans mentioned above. For example, two of the bean lists on Front Street use Panama Rose Summer combinations, namely Front Street Panama·Flower Butterfly, and Front Street Costa Rica·Strawberry Sugar Rose Summer combinations. If friends with these beans in their hands can pour them out and try it out to see if they can quickly find the rose summer hidden among them as Qian Jie said.

The traditional Panama rosesummer flavor is white floral flowers, citrus fruit flavor, and a honey-like texture. You can all taste these flavors from the Front Street Panama Poquet rosesummer, Front Street Emerald Estate·Green Label/Red Label in the Front Street Bean List ~ So the above is all the content shared by Front Street this time. Interested friends can take out the beans in their hands and record their morphological characteristics. But as Qianjie said, there are thousands of varieties of coffee beans, and "face-to-face" situations are very common, so the purpose of our understanding of the characteristics of these beans is better for learning ~
