Yunnan coffee is mostly planted in dry and hot valleys at an altitude of 1100 meters above sea level, so it has a moderate sour taste, rich and mellow aroma. In terms of climatic conditions, the long light time in southern Yunnan is conducive to plant growth and photosynthesis, and the large temperature difference between day and night and low temperature at night are conducive to the accumulation of coffee nutrients. Yunnan small grain coffee contains more effective nutrients than other foreign coffee varieties.

Yunnan coffee was introduced and planted from foreign countries in 1949 and began to be planted on a large scale in 1955. At that time, the planting area was about 5000 mu, and some of it is still alive today. At present, the varieties grown in Yunnan are mainly Arabica small seeds, which are rich in protein, fat, sucrose and other ingredients, and their quality and flavor are similar to those of Central America. The harvest period of fresh fruit is from November every year to February next year, and the fresh fruit is processed by washing and wetting, which creates the mellow taste of Yunnan coffee.

How many kinds of coffee are there in Yunnan?

The two classic high-quality coffee varieties, Tieka and Bobang, are the main varieties of coffee in Yunnan. In 1991, the Katim series was introduced from Kenya, which has stronger anti-virus ability and higher yield. At present, Katim is the most widely planted in Yunnan, and there are also a small number of iron pickup and Bobang cultivation in Baoshan.

Iron pickup (typica)

The most classic high-quality Arabica species, world-famous Blue Mountain Coffee, Mocha Coffee and so on, are almost all Arabica species. Tieka Coffee, native to Ethiopia and southeastern Sudan, is the most widely cultivated variety of coffee in the Western Hemisphere.

Bourbon (bourbon)

The variety, derived from the iron pickup, was planted by the French on the island of Bourbon (now known as Reunion) in 1708. Bourbon also has a beautiful aroma and rich flavor, which is higher in yield and growth than the iron pickup truck, and is suitable for planting in an area of 1200 Murray 2000 meters. Bourbon coffee is a variety of small-grain coffee second only to iron pickup.

Katim (catimor)

Small seed coffee belongs to Katim high generation variety. Katim is not pure Arabica, it is a hybrid of Timor (which belongs to Robusta) and caturra (a variety of Bobang), so catimor has 25% Robusta.
