Almost everyone who has come into contact with coffee has heard that it is the best variety of Arabica coffee beans, so many friends think that Arabica and iron pickup are the same grade. In fact, iron pickup is only one of the branches of Arabica varieties. Iron pickup and bourbon are the oldest native varieties in Arabica series. Among the common coffee bean varieties behind us, they basically revolve around the natural evolution of iron pickup and bourbon and the varieties cultivated by mixing.

Among the coffee beans on the front street, there are five kinds of iron pickup coffee beans, namely Ethiopia 2020 Excellence Cup No.22 coffee beans, Jamaica Blue Mountain No.1 coffee beans, Hawaii Kona coffee beans, Papua New Guinea paradise bird coffee beans and Yunnan Baoshan iron pickup small coffee beans. In the front street of this article, we will talk about iron pickup trucks. What are the different places of "ancestors" in different producing areas.

Let's talk briefly about Arabica varieties.

Arabica fruit contains two coffee beans, so Arabica coffee beans are flat on one side, of course, occasionally two coffee beans grow together, these we will call beads. Some people think that beads taste better, because many bean merchants deliberately pick out beads and sell them for a high price. Qianjie believes that these beads are actually just an "accident", as long as the coffee fruit itself is mature, as long as the coffee variety is of high quality, the coffee beans themselves will naturally taste good, of course, can also be picked out to better roast these "accidents", so that the flavor of coffee performance evenly.

Although Arabica and Robusta both grow in the coffee belt: between 45° north and south latitude, we often say that Arabica is planted at an altitude of more than 800 meters, Arabica has high requirements for planting conditions and weak resistance to pests and diseases. Robusta is planted below 800 meters above sea level, and has strong adaptability and strong resistance to diseases and insect pests. The difference between Arabica and Robusta, in the simplest terms, is the ability to resist pests and diseases, and the ability to adapt to the environment, which makes Arabica coffee beans delicate and Robusta wild.

Coffee varieties

Iron pickup (Typica) originated in Ethiopia and the southeast of Sudan, is one of the oldest varieties of Arabica, the top leaf is red copper color, called red top coffee, also known as the old variety of Arabica coffee. The tinka coffee variety is the easiest coffee variety for others. The main vertical trunk of coffee trees can be up to 5 meters high, which means that the distance between branches and nodes on the same branch is longer than other varieties.

The lateral branches form an angle of 50 to 80° with the vertical trunk. Trunks and branches are not very strong. Coffee leaves have smoother surfaces, less wavy borders, and are elongated. The most important leaf feature is that the bud tips of young leaves are bronze. Typica fruits are typically bright red when ripe, and iron pickups and green beans are usually slender. However, the fly in the ointment is insufficient yield, altitude requirements, susceptibility to leaf rust, and weak resistance to pests and diseases.

Iron pickup varieties of raw beans are larger, pointed oval or thin pointed, also known as "red top coffee." Front Street has its own quiet and clean flavor and balanced characteristics through cup testing of different producing areas. High taste cleanliness is the biggest feature of this variety, and the higher the altitude, the richer the flavor.
