What kinds of coffee do you have? Talk about some common varieties and their iconic taste

In the class of the coffee roaster training class, the proportion of the theory course is about 40%. Most of the time is operated and practiced by the students themselves. The college uses the Korean Tae-hwan roaster for training, and the students analyze the results of the cup test. Compare, adjust and summarize one by one. When it comes to the varieties of coffee trees in the theory class, in fact, we can talk a lot, but it is only used as a discrimination of coffee flavor. So we don't talk about it so complicated, just talk about some common varieties and their iconic taste.

1. Robusta (Robusta): commercial disease-resistant variety, mainly growing in hot areas, with high yield and high disease resistance. Bitter taste, no sour taste, bad taste more, but because of the high yield so its price is very cheap; Arabica (Arabica species), is a large population, different from Robusta (Robusta), all the following varieties are Arabica.

2. Typica (Tibica): one of the earliest varieties of coffee, mainly found in Africa, island countries and some countries in Central America. Generally speaking, Typica coffee has a charming and high aroma, with natural floral aroma, soft and pleasant acidity, but not good thickness.

3. Bourbon (bourbon): one of the earliest varieties of coffee, which is now more common in South America and still exists in Africa. General Bourbon coffee has a pleasant sour taste, high acidity and a certain alcohol thickness.

4. Caturra (Kaddura), a direct variety of Bourbon, is mainly cultivated in Central and South America. It has a higher yield than the original Bourbon, has soft acidity, pure and clean taste, and generally has some nutty flavor.

5. Mundo Novo (New World), a hybrid of Typica and Bourbon, is more common in Brazil, with high yield, high disease tolerance and general taste.

6. Catuai (Kaduai), a hybrid of Caturra and Mundo Novo, is more common in Central and South America. It combines the advantages of Caturra and Mundo Novo, and its taste is slightly better than Mundo Novo.

7. Sl28 and Sl34, Kenya's own varieties, show the iconic taste of Kenyan coffee. Charming sour, cocoa, high acidity; Sl28 also has a high alcohol thickness.

8. Maragogype and Pacamara (like beans and Pacamara) are both large varieties of beans, so they are called elephant beans. In recent years, it is mainly found in El Salvador, with large beans and good appearance, good taste balance and low acidity.

9. Geisha, the most famous variety today, has different opinions about its origin, some people say that it is an independent variety, some people say it is a hybrid variety, but in any case, the Geisha variety has a quite charming floral flavor, which can not be replaced by all varieties. Geisha still originated in Africa, but the taste of Geisha in Africa is not very amazing, and then the countries that grow Geisha are Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia. All the Geisha grown in these three countries have amazing floral fragrance, among which Panama is the most outstanding. The above varieties only represent the more common varieties, in addition, there are many varieties of coffee, we can not introduce them one by one, but we hope that the above knowledge can help you to play a reference role in the selection of coffee. But if it is boutique coffee, the seller can only tell you whether it is "Arabica" and so on, or it basically does not provide any valuable information and has no reference value at all.
