Description of Arabica Coffee Flavor of Highland Coffee beans introduction to the taste of varieties treated by grinding degree

Studies on planting distribution have proved that Arabica is very sensitive to environmental changes and can survive only in a very narrow temperature range.

Arabica coffee trees grow between 900m and 2000 m above sea level; they are cold-resistant, and the suitable growth temperature is 15ml / 24m; they need more humidity, annual rainfall is not less than 1500 ml, and higher requirements for cultivation techniques and conditions are also required.

Arabica coffee beans are mainly grown in South America (except Argentina and parts of Brazil), Central American countries, Africa (Kenya, Ethiopia, etc.), Asia (including parts of Yemen, India and Papua New Guinea), and a small amount of Arabica coffee beans are also grown in Yunnan, Hainan and Taiwan in China.

Although Arabica has been grown commercially in many countries, wild Arabica grows only in the highlands of southern Ethiopia and a small number of areas of neighboring South Sudan.

Arabica has been grown commercially in many countries, but wild Arabica grows only in the highlands of southern Ethiopia and a small number of areas of neighboring South Sudan. The living conditions of Arabica in the wild are already extremely bad. Previous studies have shown that Arabica is very sensitive to environmental changes and can only survive in a very narrow temperature range.

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. (what a curse) 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 after it was transplanted to Yemen.

Bourbon is almost all round beans, beans are a little smaller than tin card, ripening later, but the yield is 30% more than tin card. It is suitable for growing above 1200 meters above sea level, and its flavor is obviously more prominent than those below 1000 meters, but bourbon has a disadvantage that it will rest for a year as a result. Round bourbon is full of vitality, and its resistance to rust leaf disease is better than that of iron pickup, but its flavor is as good as it, or even better.

In 1810, some of the round beans in Bourbon Island mutated into pointed beans, which is known as the "pointed bourbon". It is characterized by a caffeine content of only half, low output, weak physique, and extremely rare, just like a weak aristocratic teenager.

In addition, the biggest thing that iron pickup and bourbon have in common is that they both need the protection of shade trees. if there is no shade tree to help it block the sun, it is not only not conducive to its growth, but also greatly reduces the flavor of coffee beans.
