Yunnan small-grain coffee has developed in recent years, and has gradually entered the boutique coffee market, but people are still not so optimistic about the influence of Yunnan coffee. Among them, "all special treatment" and "unstable quality" are the most popular labels for Yunnan coffee. These situations are often due to the general flavor of Katim varieties, the wind, followed by a quick way to cover up the bad flavor of coffee with special treatment, which makes the overall quality of Yunnan coffee very unstable. In order to change these labels, Qianjie set an example to plant an ancient variety of tin cards in Yunnan, as well as the use of traditional washing treatment to ensure the stability of coffee flavor.

What is Yunnan small grain coffee?

Yunnan small-grain coffee refers to Arabica coffee beans. At that time, French missionary Tian Deneng brought coffee (iron pickup) from Vietnam to Yunnan. After successfully planting it in Zhugula Village, Binchuan County, Yunnan Province, he told people that this is small-grain coffee (because Arabica coffee beans belong to small-fruit coffee, while Robusta belongs to medium-sized fruit coffee). Naturally, Yunnan will call Arabica coffee beans Yunnan small-grain coffee. Now our common varieties of Yunnan small-grain coffee are iron pickup and Katim respectively.

Why do you say Katim has a mediocre flavor?

Katim is a combination of Arabica and Robusta, which has good resistance to leaf rust and rich oil, high yield and easy to grow. Katim has 25% of the Robusta gene after crossing with Arabica. Katim has 25% of the Robusta gene, which improves the resistance to leaf rust and retains Robusta's rich oil, while at the same time has the characteristics of rich iron pickup flavor. So most Yunnan manors began to plant Katim in a large area, and the planting scope of iron pickup began to shrink. Although Katim has the characteristics of rich flavor, it can not avoid some bad flavor of Robusta, which leads to the overall lack of cleanliness of the coffee after brewing Katim coffee beans.

Why does Qianjie insist on growing tin card varieties?

Iron pickup coffee as one of the ancient coffee varieties, has a quiet and clean flavor, as well as balanced features, high cleanliness of the taste, which can not be achieved by special treatment. The reason why Yunnan farmers are unwilling to grow iron pickup coffee is that the yield of iron pickup varieties is not high, and they are vulnerable to insect pests, and their pay is not proportional to the harvest. On the other hand, curry farmers have no awareness of boutique coffee, so they stay away from the varieties of tin cards.

Why does Qianjie insist on using traditional washing treatment?

Qianjie Coffee believes that changing the flavor of coffee through treatment is not a long-term solution. Everyone has a fresh attitude towards special treatment, and traditional treatment is everyone's love. However, the method of washing will clearly show the flavor of the coffee, so if you want to drink the delicious Yunnan small-grain coffee, you still have to start with the planting varieties. Only when the root causes are changed, the taste will be recognized by the public.
