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

Iron pickup top leaves for bronze is one of the characteristics, bean larger, into a sharp oval or thin pointed shape. We are familiar with, such as thunder, such as Mantenin, Blue Mountain, Elephant Bean, Kona, Yunnan Small Round Bean... and so on. They are all derivatives of iron pickups.

Bourbon Bourbon is an ancient fine variety that is juxtaposed with iron pickups, and some botanists believe that Bourbon is a variant of early iron pickups transplanted to Yemen.

Bourbon is almost entirely round beans, a little smaller than iron pickup, ripening later, but yielding 30% more than iron pickup. It is suitable for growing at altitudes above 1200 meters, and the flavor is obviously more prominent than that below 1000 meters. However, Bourbon has a disadvantage that it ends up resting for a year. Round bourbon is vigorous, resistant to rust leaf disease is better than iron pickup, but the flavor is not inferior to it, or even better.

In 1810, Bourbon Island's round beans were partially mutated into pointed beans. This is the famous "pointed bourbon". Its characteristics are that the caffeine content is only half, the output is small, and the constitution is weak. It is extremely rare, just like a weak aristocratic youth.

In addition, the biggest common point between iron pickup truck and bourbon is that they both need shade tree protection. If there is no shade tree to help them block the sun, not only is it not conducive to their growth, but the flavor of coffee beans produced is also greatly reduced.

Guatemala is one of the most important coffee-producing countries in Central America. The mountains in Guatemala extend for a long time, and the regional climate varies from one place to another. Therefore, eight coffee-producing areas in Guatemala are created. They are all located on the highland terrain with subtropical climate. The rainfall is abundant and stable. The fertile volcanic ash soil is the perfect environment for coffee trees to grow. Plandel Guayabo is located next to Volcán de Suchitán volcano, which means "guava plain" in Spanish. It is named after guava trees planted in large numbers in the area. The owner of the estate is Benjamin Donado(Mr. Benjamín Donado). The Donado family has been committed to coffee production since 1990 and has been doing so for more than 20 years. Before this, local farmers were unfamiliar with coffee production and could not imagine growing coffee trees at such steep and high altitudes, but it has now been proved that Benjamin made the right choice to produce high-quality, high-quality coffee beans with different varieties and treatments. In the early days of New Oriente in Guatemala, berry buyers regularly came to buy coffee cherries from farmers and resold them to larger middlemen, who resold them 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 to origin and sold worldwide under the name New Oriente. With this in mind, Guava Plains is one of the key players in an increasing number of international green bean traders trying to change this dynamic by working with local partners to break the traditional vicious circle by producing green beans with excellent flavor and traceability.
