Arabica coffee

Arabica is deeply loved by Chinese people who have a short history of coffee contact because of its rich fruity flavor. It was introduced into China by missionaries in the 19th century. It is widely planted in Panzhihua, Sichuan Province and Jinsha River dry and hot valley area with an altitude of more than 1000 meters in western Yunnan Province. The sunshine time in this area is long and the temperature difference between day and night is large. The local people solved the problem of insufficient seasonal rainfall by diverting water up the mountain, and achieved the unique aroma of "Chinese coffee". Among them, Especially in Panzhihua, Sichuan Province, Arabica coffee is the most. Compared with Yunnan and Hainan, Panzhihua, which is located in the dry and hot valley, has longer sunshine, higher altitude, greater temperature difference, good light quality and more virgin land. It is the most suitable area for planting Arabica coffee. Banpo coffee farmers take advantage of this advantage, using a unique planting and processing technology: first,"the whole process does not fall to the ground": from the collection of coffee beans to processing into finished products, coffee has been kept free from the influence of soil and other impurities, to ensure taste and quality; second,"graded collection": because coffee beans are not uniform mature, so the collection of coffee beans of the same level is concentrated, rather than mixed together; Such as manual operation, the use of a large number of labor manual collection, classification, processing. The coffee aroma here is rich, sour and bitter balance, and fruit flavor, which is very popular with consumers and foreign coffee beverage giants.

Bourbon is almost entirely round beans, a little smaller than iron pickup, ripening later, but yielding 30% more than iron pickup. It is suitable for growing at altitudes above 1200 meters, and the flavor is obviously more prominent than that below 1000 meters. However, Bourbon has a disadvantage that it ends up resting for a year. Round bourbon is vigorous, resistant to rust leaf disease is better than iron pickup, but the flavor is not inferior to it, or even better.

In 1810, Bourbon Island's round beans were partially mutated into pointed beans. This is the famous "pointed bourbon". Its characteristics are that the caffeine content is only half, the output is small, and the constitution is weak. It is extremely rare, just like a weak aristocratic youth.

In addition, the biggest common point between iron pickup truck and bourbon is that they both need shade tree protection. If there is no shade tree to help them block the sun, it will not only be detrimental to their growth, but also greatly reduce the flavor of coffee beans produced.

Because among the many beans in Espresso, high-quality Robusta coffee beans can make Espresso show its due personality, can increase the taste of coffee, make coffee strong, but also increase the bitterness, make coffee golden oil more attractive, if carefully tasted, can also taste chocolate or cocoa flavor, and these are Arabica can not show, but also very in line with European preferences. Robusta coffee beans have a strong flavor and high caffeine content, which makes them essential ingredients for a successful iced coffee.

We know that ice will melt when added to coffee, which will dilute the taste of coffee invisibly, but iced coffee requires a strong texture, so we have to add a certain amount of Robusta on the basis of Arabica coffee beans. As for the ratio of blending, the average coffee producer will choose a ratio of 1:1. From this we can see, whether Arabica coffee beans or Robusta coffee beans, as long as the washed beans are relatively advanced coffee beans, we must not blindly think that the aroma of coffee is completely emitted by Arabica coffee beans alone, although the price of Arabica coffee beans is higher than that of ordinary Robusta coffee beans, but from the perspective of the price fluctuations of global coffee trade, Robusta prices are rising rapidly. According to economics demand pulls growth. The law of driving prices shows that the demand for Robusta coffee beans around the world is increasing year by year.
