Is the Guava Plain Manor in the New Oriental region of Guatemala Robusta or Arabica?

Global coffee bean tree species are mainly divided into: Arabica and Canephora, of which Arabica coffee beans account for more than 100 coffee varieties of 70%-80%coffee. The more common coffee is Arabica Arabica, with outstanding personality and unique flavor, which is the main force of boutique coffee, mainly used in coffee shop management and high-end coffee market supply. Robusta Robusta, with rough flavor and high caffeine content, is not a boutique coffee. It is often used in instant coffee processing and Italian coffee mixed beans.

Ethiopian Typica and Yemeni Bourbon are the oldest coffee varieties known so far. Many Arabica variants have been derived after they were transplanted from the country of origin to Central and South America and Asia. The small seed coffee cultivated in Yunnan, China is one of the Typica variants, and there are Bourbon variants in other regions.

Iron pickup "Typica" iron pickup, the name sounds majestic, but in fact it is not so strong. It has weak physique, poor disease resistance, easy to catch rust leaf disease and less fruit yield. It is one of the oldest native varieties in Ethiopia, and many Arabica are derived from iron pickups!

The parietal leaf of the iron pickup is bronzed, and the bean grain is large, pointed, oval or thin. Everyone is familiar with the well-known Mantenin, Blue Mountain, Elephant Bean, Kona, Yunnan Dou …... Wait. They are all derived from iron pickups.

Bourbon "Bourbon" bourbon is an ancient and excellent variety juxtaposed with iron pickup, and some botanists believe that bourbon is an early variety of iron pickup transplanted to Yemen.

Guatemala is one of the most important coffee producing countries in Central America, with long mountains and different regional climates, thus creating eight major coffee producing areas in Guatemala, all located on the highland topography of the subtropical climate, with abundant and stable rainfall and fertile volcanic ash soil is an excellent environment for coffee trees to grow. PlandelGuayabo is located next to the Volc á ndeSuchitn volcano, which means "guava plain" in Spanish. It is named because of the large number of guava trees planted locally. The owner of the manor is Mr. Donado Donado. The Donado family has been engaged in coffee production since 1990 and has been producing coffee for more than 20 years. Before that, local farmers were so strange to coffee production that it was hard to imagine planting coffee trees in such a steep and high altitude environment, but now it has been proved that Benjamin made the right choice to produce high quality coffee beans with different varieties and different processing methods. In the early NewOriente region of Guatemala, it was common for berry buyers to regularly buy coffee cherries from farmers and then resell them to larger middlemen, where they were resold to the town of Esquipulas, where they were mixed with other batches to form a large batch of SHB that could not be traced back, and finally sold around the world under the name New Oriental (NewOriente). In view of this, more and more international raw bean traders are trying to change this situation, working with local partners to produce coffee raw beans with excellent flavor and traceable origin, breaking the traditional vicious circle. Guava Plain Manor is one of the important members.
