The Secret of Domestic Coffee Bean Varieties

As a popular drink, coffee beans come in many varieties. In China, as people's love for coffee continues to increase, more and more people are beginning to pay attention to and understand different varieties of coffee beans. This article will reveal several common coffee bean varieties in China.

Arabica

Arabica is the most common and popular type of coffee bean. It has a lower caffeine content and higher acidity, a smooth taste and rich aroma. Arabica is suitable for making various types of espresso and hand-poured single-origin coffee.

In southern China, such as Yunnan and Guangxi, there are suitable growing conditions and a certain scale of Arabica industry chain has been developed. The Arabica beans produced in these areas are of high quality and enjoy a high reputation in the international market.

Robusta

Robusta is another common coffee bean variety. Compared to Arabica, Robusta has a higher caffeine content and lower acidity. It has a stronger and more bitter taste and is suitable for making espresso and blended coffee.

In China, Hainan is one of the main production areas. Hainan has a tropical climate, fertile soil and suitable humidity, which is very suitable for the growth of Robusta. Robusta beans produced in Hainan are of high quality and are also very popular in the domestic market.

Gesha

Golden Sacred Fruit is a relatively new but highly sought after premium coffee variety. It originated in the Beacon region near the Beacon Mountains and has become popular around the world in recent years.

Golden Fruit coffee beans are large and full, with a unique and complex aroma and taste. Due to its strict growing environment requirements and low yield, Golden Fruit coffee has become a rare and precious variety. In China, Yunnan is the main planting area, and some high-quality Golden Fruit coffee has begun to appear.

Other varieties

In addition to the above main varieties, there are some other special coffee beans in China, such as Indian Mandheling, Brazilian Irapendi and Ethiopian Yirgacheffe. These varieties have their own characteristics, taste and aroma.
