The oldest coffee tree species, the coffee culture you don't know, the mysterious world of coffee.

Do you know what is the oldest kind of coffee tree? Baitianhui Coffee training School shares coffee culture with you. Many factors affecting coffee cultivation are largely related to the variety of coffee, and there are great differences between regions.

Arabica (arabica) is the oldest coffee tree. Arabica is a high-growing variety, usually grown in mountains, plateaus or volcanic slopes, the most suitable height for growth is 1000-2000 meters above sea level, the annual precipitation in these areas is 150,200cm, and the day is warm and the night is cool. The annual average temperature is between 15 and 24 degrees Celsius.

Arabica coffee trees bloom after the rainy season, and it takes nine months for coffee cherries to mature after flowering. A typical Arabica tree produces less than 5 kilograms of fruit a year, which can be processed into at least 1 kilogram of dried coffee beans. In the coffee training course, Mr. du of Paradise Coffee training School said that most of the Arabica coffee in the world is harvested by "washing" or wet processing. such coffee beans are generally larger, longer and flatter than Robusta coffee beans, and contain fewer coffee gardens and can have a lighter and tastier sour taste.

Arabica coffee accounts for about 70% of the world's coffee, but it is harder to grow and less resistant to diseases, pests and frosts, so it is not surprising that it is more expensive. Among the many varieties of Arabica, the most special and famous are typica and bourbon, from which many other varieties have been derived, such as tico, kent, mokka, Blue mountain, Brazilian hybrids (mondo nuevo or mundo novo), garnica and mibirizi.

Varieties cultivated by Brazilian hybrids include villasarchi, geiSha and willalobos. Katuwa is another kind of hybrid variety with caffeine bean mutant, whose fruit may be yellow (amarelo) or red (vermelho), while san ramon is a mutant of tipica.
