Planting condition difference

[Elaraby Kadou]

Arabica coffee has harsh planting conditions, weak disease resistance, high altitude requirements, slow growth, high quality, and fine processing of raw beans.

Growing at colder altitudes in the tropics, it is an important kind of commercial coffee with a fruiting period of less than three years and a high-quality aroma and sour taste. Arabica coffee beans are mainly produced in South America (except parts of Argentina and Brazil), Central America, Africa (Kenya, Ethiopia, etc., mainly East African countries), Asia (parts of Yemen, India and Papua New Guinea)

[Arabica Coffee Tree]

The Arabica coffee tree, which originated in Ethiopia, accounts for 70% of the world's coffee bean production. The world-famous blue mountain caffeine and mocha coffee are almost all Arabica species. Arabica coffee trees are suitable for growing in high mountains with large temperature difference between day and night, and ten soils with low humidity and good drainage; the ideal altitude is 500m ~ 2000 m, and the higher the altitude is, the better the quality is. However, due to the weak ability to resist diseases and insect pests, it is more difficult to grow than the other two coffee trees.

[Robusta beans]

Robusta grows in the lowlands of 200m ~ 600m above sea level. He likes the warm climate and requires a temperature of 24029 ℃. The requirement for rainfall is not high. However, this variety depends on insects or wind to pollinate, so it takes 9MU / 11 months from pollination to fruit, which is longer than the Arabica species.

[Robasta Coffee Tree]

The Robastian coffee tree, which originated in the Congo in Africa, accounts for about 20% to 30% of the world's production. Luoba Jinta coffee tree is suitable for planting in the lowlands below 500 meters above sea level, has strong adaptability to external environment, has strong resistance to disease, and has high yield. It does not need much artificial care during soil preparation, weeding and pruning, and can be allowed to grow in the wild. It is a kind of coffee tree that is easy to cultivate.
