Characteristics of coffee beans in Yunnan

Follow the caf é (Wechat official account vdailycom) and found that Beautiful Cafe opened a small shop of its own.

Small-grain coffee is suitable for growing in the mountains at an altitude of 800 to 1800 meters. If the altitude is too high, it will taste sour, and if it is too low, it will taste bitter. Small grains of coffee are mostly planted in dry and hot valleys about 1100 meters above sea level, so they are moderately sour, rich and mellow. There is a unique environment suitable for the growth of small seed coffee in many areas of Yunnan, and the quality of small seed coffee is excellent.

The planting areas are mainly distributed in Lincang, Baoshan, Simao, Xishuangbanna, Dehong, Nujiang and other states.

The average temperature of Lujiangba in Baoshan is 21.5℃, and the highest is 40.4 ℃, which is basically frost-free all the year round. It is recognized as the best producing area of small-grain coffee. The small-grain coffee cultivated here is famous at home and abroad for its strong but not bitter, fragrant but not strong, well-proportioned small noodles, mellow and fruity.

In recent years, the planting area of small-grain coffee in other producing areas of Yunnan has been expanding, the quality has also made great progress, and the popularity of small-grain coffee has been improved both at home and abroad.

After inspecting the coffee planting and primary processing base in Yunnan, international coffee organization tasting experts rated Yunnan coffee as the kind of small seed coffee processed by Colombian wet processing, which is the highest quality coffee in the world.

The main varieties of coffee in Yunnan are Tibika, Baibang and Katim in Arabica. The good ones are basically exported to Europe, Nestle, Starbucks, Shangdao, Maxwell. All the coffee beans are from Yunnan, from Simao, Baoshan rejected Starbucks, as to why. I don't know. Yunnan coffee beans won the gold medal in London in the 1950s and the Eureka gold medal in Belgium in 1993. This is the international influence, but it is relatively old. Yunnan coffee has the smallest output and the most expensive Tiebika, and it also belongs to the best of Arabica species in the world, of which the Blue Mountains of Jamaica and Kona of Hawaii can be said to be Tibica. Due to changes in origin and some planting conditions, Tiebika in Yunnan is softer and sour is not as heavy as Blue Mountains. But overall, Tibica tastes light (it should be very light), but it has a long aftertaste.

Baibang is a variety second only to Tiebika, which has a higher output and a stronger flavor, and it is not easy to buy on the market. Katim is a variety introduced later, with relatively stable output and strong resistance to diseases and insect pests. It is planted in a large area in Yunnan. Now it is easy to buy Katim beans on the market, and Katim aa beans are also exported beans, which is not bad on the whole. Not to mention in China, even in the whole of Asia, Yunnan's beans are very excellent. As for cat shit, Manning and so on, it cannot be compared with Tibica in terms of coffee beans alone. These are the basic varieties in Yunnan. Generally speaking, they all belong to Tibica and the later varieties under Arabica, which is different from Robusta in Hainan. As for quality. It is suggested that you can try it first. Generally speaking, except Tiebika is a little more expensive, Katim can be said to be the price of cabbage. Tiebika medium roast taste individual coffee and then believe that you have your own comments, if you like the blue mountain flavor, I think I should like Yunnan Tibika. The taste is lighter and the aftertaste is long and fruity. But the first sip may disappoint you because there is no strong taste of coffee. Baibang, mellow and soft.
