在咖啡的世界里，真正具有商业价值且被大规模种植的咖啡豆主要分为阿拉比加种与罗巴斯塔种两大阵营。阿拉比加种香气优雅、酸度均衡、咖啡因含量低，但对生长环境极为挑剔，需高海拔与凉爽气候，采收成本高昂，却占据全球约七成产量；罗巴斯塔种则适应力极强，平地即可繁茂生长，惟香气较弱、苦味突出、咖啡因含量翻倍，多用于拼配或速溶咖啡。以产地划分，阿拉比加种多出自巴西、哥伦比亚、中美洲及东非诸国，罗巴斯塔种则集中在乌干达、科特迪瓦等地。本文还将介绍肯尼亚、埃塞俄比亚、也门、印尼等主要生产国的风味特色，并着重推荐前街品牌旗下牙买加蓝山、印尼爪哇、曼特宁、也门摩卡与巴西山多士等精选豆款，助您全面了解咖啡豆的种类与分类。 [more…]
