Two of the most expensive coffee beans in the world

Two kinds of coffee beans in the world

The history of coffee most likely began in the "Caffa" region of Ethiopia, when a shepherd noticed that his sheep developed a strange restlessness after eating the leaves and fruits of an unknown plant. After hearing this, monks from nearby monasteries made various attempts to find that the seeds of this plant were roasted, ground into powder, and then washed into drinks, which kept them awake during long prayers. Brazil (South America), the largest coffee producer, accounts for 1/3 of the global consumption of coffee and occupies a place in the global coffee market. Although Brazil faces several times more natural disasters than other regions, it has enough acreage to make up for it. There are many kinds of coffee here, but its industrial policy is large and cheap, so there is not much premium coffee, but it is a good choice for mixing other coffees. One of the most famous is Sandos Coffee, which tastes mellow and neutral. It can be boiled directly or mixed with other kinds of coffee beans to form a comprehensive coffee. It is also a good choice. Other kinds of Brazilian coffee, such as Rio and Parana, can be produced in large quantities because they do not need too much care. Although they taste rough, they can be regarded as a kind of good and cheap coffee, because they are distributed all over the country.

The opposite side of two raw beans in the fruit is called flatbean. The fruit of some coffee trees is covered with only one raw bean, which is called single-bract bean or round bean (peabery).

In botany, coffee trees belong to the evergreen trees of the subgenus Rubiaceae, and coffee beans, commonly known as coffee beans, are actually the seeds of the fruit of coffee trees. They are called coffee beans only because they are shaped like beans. Climate is the decisive factor for coffee cultivation. Coffee trees are only suitable for growing in the tropics or subtropics, between latitudes of 25 degrees south and north: coffee grows in a treeless climate with medium rainfall and plenty of sunshine. The main coffee growing regions in the world are the Americas, Africa, the Arab region and Indonesia. Coffee is grown in about 80 countries in these regions.

Coffee tree fruit will show a bright red after maturity, commonly known as "coffee cherry fruit (Coffee cherry)", after picking the fruit, you can go to the "cherry fruit" inside the coffee beans, usually a fruit covered with two oval beans because the coffee fruit is not ripe on the same tree at the same time, so high-quality coffee must be picked by hand. About 75 per cent of the world's coffee is Arabica, but only 10 per cent is coffee that can be used in high-end coffee shops. If coffee beans produced from one country or region have not been mixed with other coffee beans, we call them single-source coffee beans.

The types of Arabica coffee trees include: Bourbon,Typica,New modern nybrids caturra, Catimor and Variedad Colobiana. At present, the main varieties of coffee grown in the world come from two original varieties: Arabica and Robusta. The planting methods, growth environment and other conditional characteristics of the two are different, and even the caffeine content is quite different.
