Introduction to the price classification of coffee beans distinguished by Robusta and Arabica

Arabica is deeply loved by Chinese people with a short history of coffee contact because of its strong fruity aroma. it was introduced to China by missionaries in the 19th century and widely planted in Panzhihua, Sichuan, and the dry-hot valley of the Jinsha River above 1000 meters in western Yunnan. The sunshine in this area lasts for a long time and there is a great temperature difference between day and night. The local people solve the problem of insufficient seasonal rainfall by diverting water up the mountain, resulting in a unique aroma of "Chinese coffee". Among them, Banpo coffee grown in Arabica in Panzhihua, Sichuan is the most. Compared with Yunnan and Hainan, Panzhihua in the dry-hot valley has longer sunshine, higher altitude, greater temperature difference, good light quality and more virgin land. it is a rare and most suitable area for growing Arabica coffee. Banpo coffee farmers take advantage of this advantage to adopt unique planting and processing technology: first, "do not land on the ground": from collecting coffee beans to processing into finished products, coffee has been kept free from soil and other sundries to ensure its taste and quality; second, "graded collection": since coffee beans are not uniform and mature, coffee beans of the same level are collected centrally rather than mixed together. Such as manual operation, the use of a large number of labor force to collect, classify and process. The coffee here has a rich aroma, bitter balance and fruit flavor, which is very popular with consumers and foreign coffee beverage giants. Jamaican Blue Mountain is an excellent coffee; Tibica, native to Ethiopia and southeastern Sudan, is the most widely cultivated variety of coffee in the Western Hemisphere; and Hawaii's Kona, which has a high yield in Hawaii, is comparable in quality to Blue Mountain coffee, with a price difference of only $1 to $3.

30% of the world's coffee production is robusta beans.

Robusta Coffee is grown in Central and West Africa, Southeast Asia, Indonesia and Brazil.

Robusta beans are difficult to produce coffee, not very fragrant.

It is grown at low elevations and can tolerate warm climates (like 75-85 degrees Celsius).

The plant is very strong, disease-resistant and much more productive than the Arabica coffee plant, which makes it cheaper to cultivate.

It is mainly used in blends and instant coffee.
