Coffee Family
Have you ever noticed that coffee bean sizes vary from home to home or even from farm to farm, some from the same area? Coffee crops from Colombia tend to be larger than those from Yemen, as crops in Yemen and Saudi Arabia tend to be very clearly small in size when compared, but why?
The underlying cause of these differences is that coffee is originally a fruit and is influenced by surrounding factors as it grows from the climate, soil, plants and surrounding trees. With the beginning of coffee, it began to develop day after day until human intervention came and spread to different regions to adapt. This resulted in a hybrid of species and a change in the areas of some factions, some of which had to coexist and adapt in a non-environment. And some of them because of their sensitive characteristics required effort. greater and more care to understand their appropriate environment. Coffee trees with breeds and factions vary by region and environment suitable for the development of one species from another. Starting with coffee cherry flowers, cherry size and color, some species ripen cherries when they become yellow “yellow bourbon” and some when pink bourbon becomes pink. Successively with many other variables, including the size of the coffee seed, the vine and the paper.
We start with the basis of coffee, all of which fall under the original coffee gene Covia, the first essential gene for all coffee trees. More than 120 tree species, the most famous of which are Arabica and Rubusta, whose fame resulted from the strength of their characteristics compared to others, are distinguished here by the fact that these two species are contrary to most characteristics. Each species has a number of species that inherit the main characteristics and are characterized by the characteristics of the species, habitat and environmental factors.
Arabica: The cherry production tree tends to increase in sweetness and gentle acidic flavors at a moderate caffeine rate, cherry size and large coffee grain. It grows over a height of 400 to 3,500 meters above sea level and its trees are more than 10 meters high and this tree is very sensitive and influenced by its surrounding climate, soil, height and area. This tree grows on the equator with regular rainfall and irrigation, care The tree is a basic duty because any default may damage us a crop or even the entire tree. Taking these factors into account, we produce a high-quality, unique crop that is often hand-picked and goes through many stages that enter the workforce significantly. This is, of course, one of the reasons for raising the cost of the product, but over the past years, Arabica has become 70% of the global market’s interest in coffee trading and the market has become aware of the quality of coffee. Arabica is currently the only type of all types of coffee tree that is assessed as a specialized coffee if it exceeds the tests.
Roposta: Its cherry production tree tends to be small in size, strong bitterness in taste and lack of sweetness. They grow at ground level and do not exceed 900 meters above sea level. The characteristics of the tree are short in length and durability, and cherries are often picked by mechanical devices that shake the tree to drop cherries because roposta farms often care more about the amount of the crop. And if we apply this method with arabica in picking, a farmer will often go.
Arabica for manual picking to maintain crop quality and apply the mechanical method may decimate it. It doesn’t require much attention because its characteristics bear the difference in the climate, even if it grows wrong in a harsh atmosphere, the tree often lives and continues to produce. Day after day, the evolution of species and factions continues to exist in nature and humanitarian intervention has contributed to the diversity and rapid adaptation of species to achieve the best results and to show the best characteristics in each species.
