Is the efficacy of Yunnan small coffee beans good? can Yunnan boutique black coffee lose weight?

In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for coffee. In the past, I never thought that China, a country with a particularly prominent tea culture, would grow coffee. What is even more unexpected is that Chinese coffee is grown in Yunnan, a place famous for its Pu'er tea.

In fact, there are two main coffee growing areas in China: Yunnan and Hainan. As Hainan Province is a coastal plain, the altitude is less than 800 meters, and the summer is too hot, the perennial temperature is too high, it is not suitable to grow Arabica coffee, mainly growing Robusta varieties.

And need to meet the requirements of the boutique coffee we usually mentioned, to plant Arabica varieties, there are more than 1200 meters above sea level, and so on. Robusta varieties of coffee taste bitter, have a fishy smell, the flavor is not pleasant. Arabica varieties are sure to have excellent quality because of suitable planting altitude, temperature, humidity and proper field management.

Yunnan Province has complex topography, planting between 800m and 1800 m above sea level, complex topography, significant temperature difference between day and night, fertile land, high perennial air humidity, distinct dry season and rainy season, which provides ideal conditions for the cultivation of Arabica coffee.

The history of coffee consumption in China can only be traced back to the late Qing Dynasty, while China, a country with developed tea industry, has a history of growing coffee for only more than 100 years. In the late Qing Dynasty, foreign imperialist invaders invaded China and sent missionaries to take the lead in order to assimilate the local residents.

Father Tian Deneng, a French missionary, was asked to build a church and preach in the village of Jugula in Binchuan, Yunnan Province. Because Father Tian Deneng loved coffee, he brought a coffee sapling and planted it next to the church, so the coffee took root here.

It was not until the 1950s that Yunnan Province began to grow coffee on a large scale. Friends may be curious, at that time, not to mention heard that even the people who drink and the amount of consumption are very small, why large-scale planting? In fact, at that time, the large-scale cultivation of coffee in Yunnan was not for the domestic market, but mainly for foreign markets, especially the Soviet Union. At that time, Yunnan coffee beans even received a lot of praise in the world market, and even was considered to be the top grade of coffee.

The second wave of development of Yunnan coffee in China is that after the reform and opening up, many international coffee brands have entered the Chinese market, among which Nestl é has chosen to buy local coffee beans in Yunnan Province. The early Yunnan coffee was a tin card variety, but Nestl é, as a big instant coffee maker, promoted the local Katim variety with strong resistance to leaf rust but less elegant flavor in order to obtain more raw materials. Yunnan small grain coffee has been changed from the oldest Arabica variety to Katim, which has the Robusta gene. Since then, Katim has gradually become the main local coffee variety in Yunnan, accounting for about 90% of Yunnan coffee bean production.

In the 21 century, the third wave of fine coffee brought the concept of fine coffee to China, and Yunnan also began the work of seed selection and cultivation. In 2012, Nestl é stopped purchasing Yunnan coffee beans on a large scale, forcing Yunnan farmers to embark on the development of boutique coffee.

In recent years, the state's strong support for Yunnan coffee, coupled with some film and television works such as "one Point to Home" and "Infinite Road" are widely advertised for Yunnan coffee, the popularity of Yunnan coffee continues to rise.

Qianjie as a knowledge disseminator of boutique coffee, of course, there is no lack of personal experience, and only in this way can we share more. Qianjie began to grow coffee half a year before the coffee shop opened. Qianjie Coffee, formerly known as "Big Town Coffee", was originally grown in a place called Dazhen in Guangdong. When more than half a year of time passed in an instant, Qianjie suddenly realized the relationship and sequence among the varieties, elevations and handling methods of boutique coffee.

So all over again, we continue to learn and study the knowledge of boutique coffee, but also share, and even pay for action. By chance and coincidence, Qianjie found a land suitable for growing fine coffee in Yunnan. In order to grow a real boutique coffee, Qianjie planted iron pickup coffee from scratch, hoping to provide everyone with the most primitive Yunnan small-grain coffee.

In 2021, Qianjie Coffee also experienced the joy of a bumper harvest on a coffee farm in Yunnan. Since the cultivation of iron pickup coffee does not produce much until the fourth or fifth year, the output in the last season was less, just over 100 kilograms. Yunnan Sun Iron pickup beans from Qianjie Coffee Manor sold out in just a few months, and all these efforts paid off. Yunnan coffee beans taste fragrant but not strong, strong but not bitter. Many friends who have tasted this coffee have given a thumbs up one after another.

After another year of hard work, the harvest season for Yunnan coffee is coming to an end. It's almost time to meet the beans in the new season of Qianjie Coffee, but the time is not yet ripe. If you are greedy and can't wait, you can taste Yunnan Huaguo Mountain on the bean list in Qianjie first.

Qianjie this Yunnan Huaguoshan coffee bean adopts the water washing method that can best reflect the basic flavor of the producing area, showing the most primitive flavor of Yunnan, with a hint of citrus acid, main notes of nuts, melon and fruit, sweet brown sugar and black tea aftertaste. Rich in layers.

Yunnan coffee not only tastes good, but also has certain health effects. The hand-brewed coffee we usually drink is a kind of black coffee, which is drunk without sugar and milk. Coffee has always been a refreshing weapon for migrant workers. with the continuous development of science and technology, many health benefits of coffee have been discovered.

As early as January 2021, a scientific paper pointed out that drinking black coffee before working out can enhance the effect of fat burning. In addition, studies during 2021 have pointed out that black coffee has a preventive effect on diseases such as dementia and liver disease.
