The variants of the iron pickup family.

Elephant bean

"Maragogype" was discovered in 1870 in the "Maragogype" producing area of "Bahia" in northeastern Brazil. It got its name because the bean body is at least three times larger than the average Arabica, making it the largest in the world. It is the most well-known variety of iron pickup beans, is the giant baby of the iron pickup family.

Elephant beans are very suitable for the low altitude area of 700-800 meters, but the flavor is dull, tasteless, and even has a fishy smell. Therefore, it is appropriate to choose the area above 1000 meters above sea level, with better flavor, mild sour taste and sweet fragrance.

Can accept

Although "Kona" is planted at an altitude of several hundred meters, it comes from Kona, a big island of Hawaii, with a mild sea breeze and fertile volcanic soil, with an incomparably clean acidity and sweetness. Compared with the blue mountains with higher elevations, it is even worse.

Blue Mountain

"BlueMountain" is popular all over the world, and Blue Mountain, which is hard to get a bean, comes from the iron pickup family. Why is Blue Mountain so hot and expensive?! It is mostly because it is contracted by the royal army, and partly because it is not satisfied with soil and water and is in poor condition once it leaves Jamaica. After two hundred years of domestication, Blue Mountain has evolved successfully in Jamaica, and its resistance to fruit rot is better than that of ordinary iron pickups. Where can the Blue Mountains be tamed next? We can look forward to it.
