The first coffee variety planted in Yunnan is actually iron pickup, but iron pickup has poor disease resistance and low yield. With the country's reform and opening up, some international brands began to enter the Chinese market, but because they put yield above flavor, they introduced Katim varieties with leaf rust resistance and higher yield. Now, when you come to Qianjie Coffee's store, you can find two beans from Yunnan producing area on our bean list, one is Huaguoshan of iron pickup variety and the other is Yunnan small grain of Katim variety.

The original Yunnan Arabica coffee refers to the iron pickup variety of coffee, and later because the katim variety invaded Yunnan and occupied the upper hand, Yunnan Arabica coffee has changed from the original iron card to the current katim.

katim

In 1959, the Portugal mixed Brazilian cadura with Timo to breed the disease-resistant Katim/Katim, which is currently an important variety of commercial beans. East Timor was colonized by Portugal for 400 years, and the Portugal had long been in contact with coffee trees in East Timor. In 1959, the Portugal moved the Brazilian bourbon mutant Kadura to East Timor and interbred it with a Tim of Robusta descent. They succeeded in breeding Kadura, which was highly resistant to disease and highly productive. Between 1970 and 1990, leaf rust affected coffee producing countries worldwide. With the assistance of international organizations, catim was widely promoted in producing countries to resist leaf rust and improve production capacity. This highly resistant plant has the ability to resist coffee leaf rust and was widely cultivated in Latin American countries in the 1980s. Unfortunately, because Timor species (also known as Arabusta species) is the product of a natural cross between Tibika Arabica species and Robusta species, although the latter can give it disease resistance, but the delicate taste of Arabica varieties also disappeared, only Catim although inherited Robusta disease resistance advantages, but also inherited the poor flavor gene, in addition, although the early Catim production capacity is large but need shade trees to wait on, otherwise easy to wither.

The results of trial planting in different ecological areas showed that if the high yield cultivation techniques were followed, higher yield would be obtained. The average yield per mu was more than 150 kg, and the small area could reach more than 400 kg.

Yunnan coffee

When it comes to Asian coffee, coffee lovers 'first impression is generally that it is rich and stable. It is precisely because of the mellow characteristics of Asian coffee that it is very suitable as a base when making Italian coffee blends. Asian coffee is generally characterized by a heavy flavor, intense sweetness and roundness, but the aroma and brightness are slightly flat. Asian coffee: taste characteristics, deep flavor and strong taste.

China's coffee-producing areas are mainly distributed in Hainan, Yunnan, Fujian, Guangdong and Taiwan. However, only Yunnan Province can meet the requirements for growing Arabica coffee crops, and Yunnan is also the most important coffee growing area in China.

Yunnan Province, located in the south, between 15 degrees north latitude to the Tropic of Cancer, its coffee is strong but not bitter, fragrant but not strong, very unique. And with a little fruit flavor, coffee is the top grade, international praise. Taiwan is located in the subtropical zone, with many mountains and a distinct rainy season. For coffee, it is considered a good growing environment. Since the British introduced coffee trees in the Guangxu period, coffee trees are still cultivated on a small scale. The more famous producing areas are Huilin Forest in the Nantou Mountains (more than 1,000 meters above sea level) and Hebao Mountain in Yunlin Kukeng (294 meters above sea level). Coffee flavor close to Central and South American beans, with soft acidity and good texture, taste mild.

Yunnan coffee bean grading system

particle size grading

1) International common classification standards:

According to the size of the coffee beans, the classification is carried out by using a round hole classification screen. The international customary size of Arabica coffee has 10-20 grades, and the number used represents the fraction of the sieve aperture with the number as the numerator and 64 as the denominator, and the unit is inches. For example, 14 refers to green coffee beans that can pass through a screen with a pore size of more than 14/64 inches, and 19 refers to green coffee beans that can pass through a screen with a pore size of more than 19/64 inches (1 inch ≈2.54 cm).
