Introduction to the characteristics of African and South American coffee beans and the flavor of varieties produced in planting environment

Costa Rican coffee is praised as "complete coffee" by many gourmets, because it is very balanced, the flavor is very clean and tight, the delicate sour taste with green apple (sometimes citrus or plum fruit), the body is tight but not thin, and the sweetness of the coffee will stay in the throat for a long time, so some people describe it as "perfectly balanced"! The best Costa Rican coffee has a chocolate flavor in its aftertaste. There are a total of 130, 000 coffee farms in Costa Rica. The most famous producing areas are Tarrzu, near the southern Pacific coast, and Tres Rios, north of San Jose, the capital. These areas have high altitude and good soil, so they have the densest planting density and stable coffee quality. Among these many coffee farms, the most famous is located in Tarasu. LaMinita Manor, which tastes as clear as a bell, the coffee at LaMinita is so good because it is careful and strict in everything from the planting of coffee trees to the handling of coffee beans. in fact, the estate produces not a small number of coffee beans a year, but very few of them are sold under the name of LaMinita, and the rest are selected to be sold only as beans from the Tarasu region. Because Tarasu is so famous.

Arabica (Arabica) vs Robusta (Robusta)

In terms of varieties, coffee trees are mainly divided into two types: one is Arabica, the other is Robusta.

Arabica coffee is mainly produced in Central Brazil and other tropical regions of South America, with small bean shape, low caffeine content and high price.

Robusta is produced in Madagascar in west-central and eastern Africa, and Indonesia in Asia. It has a large bean shape, about twice the caffeine content of Arabica, and a low price.

Ps: about 75% of the world's coffee is Arabica, but only 10% is coffee that can be used in high-end coffee shops.
