Boutique coffee beans: coffee genealogy (variety knowledge popularization post) basic knowledge of coffee introduction

From Ethiopia all the way to East Africa, coffee varieties have evolved over a period of about 1300 years.

Experienced Yemen, India, Java, the Netherlands, Paris, Bourbon Island, Martinique Island, Haiti, Mexico, Brazil and other Central and South American countries.

Coffee is an evergreen shrub plant belonging to the genus Coffea in the family Rubiaceae of Gentiales.

The broad variety classification is:

Arabica

Iron pickup (typica) (bean type larger)

Mokka

tico

Kent (Indian variety should be a hybrid of Tibica and other varieties)

San Ramon

Blue Mountain

amarello (Latin for yellow, yellow fruit when ripe, trees with low yields)

Bourbon (bourbon) (smaller beans)

Mondo Nuevo (a natural cross between Bourbon and Sumatra)

Cauttra (Bourbon hybrid)

Catuai (a cross between Montenevo and Cattila)

Villalobos (Bourbon hybrid)

Geisha (Bourbon hybrid)

Villa Sarchi (Bourbon hybrid)

Garnica (Brazilian hybrid)

Mibirizi (Brazilian hybrid)

Robusta (originally a mutant of caffea canephora, Robusta is highly adaptable because of caffeine, so Robusta originally means "tough and robust.")

Conilon (Brazilian variety)

Java Ineac

Nana

Kouilou

Kangjun Xishi (congensis)

Maragogype (a mutant of typica found in Brazil's Bahia region of Maragogype, which produces the world's largest coffee bean, sometimes called an "elephant bean"(not to be confused with the common deformed bean "elephant ear")). Currently cultivated in Cuba, Colombia Colombia, Guatemala Guatemala, Mexico, Mexico, Nicaragua Nicaragua. Due to its mild smell and attractive appearance, coffee beans are sought after by many people, and production costs are high due to low yields, so demand often exceeds supply.)

Liberica (discovered in Libya in 1843, planted in: lowland or flat land below 200m, resistant to high temperature and low temperature, resistant to much rain and little rain, tree height of 10m leaf shape with 8 sharp rhombic petals at the top, fruit twice as large as Arabia pericarp, endocarp, seed coat, etc. are very thick, especially seeds tightly adhere to seeds, the operation of removing seed coat takes more time, and it is not easy to peel off after maturity. Aroma: poor aroma, bitter, strong disease resistance, adaptability are often used to do Arabica stock. Lowest planting density Major producing areas (Libya, Suriname, Guyana, India, Indonesia, Angola, Cote d'Ivoire, Philippines)

Other cultivated varieties

Arabusta (insert)

Hibrido be timor

Ruiru Eleven Kenyan dwarf species

Timo Arabica-Robstar hybrid

catimor (born in Portugal in 1995 as a cross between catimor and timo (mottled resistant))

icatu

Colombia (Variedad Colombia)

The following are some of Arabica's most important beans.

Mocha(Grown in Yemen, naturally dried to remove pulp, named after the port of Mocha on the Red Sea!)

Harrar(or "Ethiopian Mocha," processed directly in Ethiopia's port areas, removing pulp by natural drying!)

Blue Mountain(planted in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica)

Kona(cultivated in Kona, Hawaii)

Sumatra(a natural mutant of Typica, grown in Sumatra, with pudgy trees with large leaves and large fruits)

Maragogype(long fruiting period, large leaves and fruits) It is a new bean variety mutated from Typica.)

Mokka

A natural mutation, the trees are short, the fruit is small round beans, cultivated in Java.

Caturra(naturally mutated, originating in Brazil.)

Mundo Novo(a natural cross between Sumatra and Bourbon, originating in Brazil)

Catuai(artificially bred from Mundo Novo and Caturra)

San Ramon(dwarf mutant, originating in Central America.)

Ruiru eleven(short species selected by Kenya, resistant to berry diseases of plants, but losing Kenya's sour character!)

Kent(coffee tree cultivated in India and resistant to leaf rust)
