Boutique coffee specialty coffee coffee bean variety

Abstract: coffee trees are generally divided into three categories: Arabica species, Robesta species and Liberika species.

With regard to the cultivation of crops, seed selection is a very important factor. Every year, agronomists are studying higher quality and higher yield varieties of wheat, soybeans, and corn, as well as how to make apples more delicious, beautiful and resistant to diseases and insect pests. In fact, the same is true of coffee. The quality and taste of coffee are determined by the quality of the varieties.

Coffee trees are generally divided into three categories: Arabica species, Robesta species and Liberika species.

In fact, at present, there are hundreds of coffee tree species on the earth, and nearly 100 Arabica species alone, but when it comes to fine coffee, only Arabica beans can be called fine coffee. But it is not that all Arabica species belong to fine coffee, because with the trend of variety improvement in recent years, many excellent Arabica species are growing less and less because of their low yield and resistance to diseases and insect pests. It was gradually replaced by some new and improved species. But the production of real boutique coffee depends on excellent Arabica tree species. Here are several major Arabica species.

Typica Tippie truck

Tippika originated in the coffee region of Ethiopia more than a century ago, which is probably the oldest coffee tree species. It was brought to Central America by French naval officers in the 18th century, and later gave rise to Jamaican Blue Mountain, San Ramon, Pache, Villalobos, Java and Jember and so on. Tippica has a low yield and is not resistant to leaf rust, with long, bronzed leaves and long oval beans, with a unique flavor, especially in sweetness, purity and mellowness.

Bourbon wave side species

Belongs to a variety of Tippika. The name comes from the small island of Bourbon in the Indian Ocean (now known as Easter Island) and from the Bourbon dynasty in France. Although the output is 20-30% higher than that of Tipickup, it is still low. The bean shape is small and round, and the leaves are wide and turquoise. The bourbon species can be divided into red, orange and yellow fruits according to the difference of fine species. It has good acidity and a well-balanced taste.

Maragogype Malago Gippe

First found in Brazil, it belongs to the variety of the Tippica family in Ethiopia, which has an increased number of trees, large leaves, and extremely large bean grains, but low yield. Because the beans sell well, it is favored by part of the market. Over the past century, its cultivation has been extended to Central America, and its taste varies from high mellow and rich flavor to floral and citrus flavor.

Villalobos Villai Lubus

Produced in Costa Rica, is a variety of Tippica, like Tippica, the angle between the branch and trunk is 60 degrees, and the leaves are bronze. It grows particularly well at high altitudes, has strong wind resistance, can grow in poor soil, and grows better under shade trees. The most striking feature of the taste is its excellent sweetness and beautiful acidity.
