"the breeze is soft, the rain is fine, the vast expanse is blue and blue, the spring is covered with white silver, summer wear Cui, autumn ruby winter black gold, when you become the right fruit, there is no one in the world who does not appreciate you." This stirring text describes the small grains of coffee in Lujiang Dam at the foot of Gaoligong Mountain. Due to the influence of Gaoligong Mountain, the small grains of coffee grown here absorb the essence of the sun and moon all the year round, the aura of Jina heaven and earth, high quality and reputation.

During the interview in Gaoligong Mountain, the reporter walked into the ten thousand mu coffee base in Xinzhai Village, Lujiang Town, the Management Committee of Gaoligong Mountain Tourism Resort. At the intersection of the village, a boulder engraved with "the first Coffee Village in China" is eye-catching. The endless coffee trees around the boulder extend from the foot of the mountain to the hillside, and the green coffee fruits under the coffee leaves are closely arranged together, sucking the nutrition of the earth. Lujiangba small-grain coffee has mainly experienced five stages: the start in the 1950s, the landslide in the 1960s and 1970s, the restart in the 1980s, the rapid development in the 1990s, and the recent shock. Coffee has gone through twists and turns. Coffee has developed from a successful trial to 160000 mu today. Our village has also grown to 13600 mu, and last year, the per capita net income of the villagers reached more than 8800 yuan. " Wang Jiawei, secretary of the Party General Branch of Xinzhai Village, said, "in autumn and winter, these emerald coffee fruits will turn into rubies, which is another scene."

"compared with understanding the history of coffee, it takes a lot of effort to understand coffee itself. The understanding of coffee begins by distinguishing the male and female of coffee beans. " At Baoshan Jinyuanfeng Agricultural products Management Co., Ltd., Lan Bin, deputy director of the administrative committee of Gaoligong Mountain tourist Resort, casually picked up a few coffee beans for reporters to guess. Seeing that reporters had different opinions, she smiled at popular science, "this round one is a public bean, and the flat one is a mother bean." During the conversation, the barista had already made the coffee, and the rich fragrance captured everyone in an instant. "instead of adding sugar, have a good taste of small coffee. Is it strong but not strong, fragrant but not bitter, mellow, rich in oil, rich in acid, and long-lasting?" Lan Bin is teaching us how to taste small grains of coffee. Although she has worked on the management committee for less than a year, she has already become the "promotion ambassador" of small grains of coffee.

The superior quality of Lujiangba small-grain coffee benefits from the influence of Gaoligong Mountain. "Lujiangba, located at the foot of Gaoligong Mountain, belongs to the climate type of dry and hot valley, with distinct dry and wet seasons, simultaneous rain and heat, no severe cold in winter, no heat in summer, and a large temperature difference between day and night, which is conducive to the accumulation of dry matter. Coffee is characterized by high content of protein, crude fiber, crude fat, sucrose and low caffeine content. It is one of the best quality coffee in the country and even in the world. In 2010, 'Baoshan small Coffee' was protected by National Geographic indication products. " Lan Bin said.

Unfortunately, high-quality coffee is seldom tasted by farmers who have grown it for decades, and their sales have been dominated by the supply of raw materials. "when I was a child, I seldom saw old people drink coffee. They just fried the coffee beans, hammered them with a mortar and boiled them in a pot, but they couldn't accept the bitterness, and very few people could drink it. Because they do not understand the complex processing procedures of coffee, the farmers just grow and sell the coffee to earn some hard money. " Yang Dehua, president of the Alpine Agricultural products planting Cooperative in Cong Gang Village, Lujiang Town, said.

Fortunately, with the development of the coffee industry, Lujiangba's small-grain coffee has gradually got rid of the initial stage of "making wedding clothes for others." Many local enterprises go to big cities and even abroad to learn coffee baking and brewing technology, apply their skills to the company's technology research and development, improve fermentation, processing and other links, the technology is becoming more and more mature. At present, many companies have mastered the technology of honey treatment, sun-drying coffee and water-washed coffee, while others have developed the technology of hot spring white honey to treat coffee.

"Jinyuanfeng is a good example. The company started from growing coffee in 1995 to buying and selling coffee beans, and then processing and selling fine beans such as honey treatment, sun-cured coffee and washed coffee. It is a microcosm of the development of Lujiangba coffee industry." Lan Bin said, "at present, there are 15 coffee processing enterprises in our area, and their products are exported to Europe, the United States, the Middle East and other countries. Last year, the output of coffee was 40, 000 tons, with a total output value of 500 million yuan and a per capita coffee income of 2700 yuan. However, under the influence of the international coffee market, the price of Lujiangba small-grain coffee fluctuates greatly. " "We are backed by Gaoligong Mountain and are endowed with unique resources." Lan Bin said, "the next step, the management committee will give full play to the subjective initiative of enterprises, expand and strengthen enterprises, build well-known brands, and strive for survival and development on the basis of quality." Carry out a comprehensive quality inspection and inspection on coffee farmers and enterprises in the production, processing and sale of coffee in the resort, gradually eliminate and replace coffee varieties of low altitude quality and low market sales, and expand the planting area of coffee with high quality at high altitude. we will organically integrate coffee production, experience, tasting and tourism, improve the popularity of small-grain coffee at home and abroad, and promote the development and growth of the small-grain coffee industry.
