We have always thought that the origin of coffee in the world should be mainly in Central and South America. Asians are slow to mature coffee, and the main consumption is tea culture. Once upon a time, Vietnam was already the second largest producer in the world. Yunnan, China is also eager to catch up, and the quality is not inferior to the once popular Central and South American coffee, for no other reason, coffee culture not only represents fashion but also creates amazing benefits. And there are many health considerations to drink, and even the beverage culture through fast food conditions to change people's consumption habits!

China: Yunnan is the favorite of international brands

The main coffee producing area in mainland China is Yunnan Province, which was first planted in Binchuan, and then expanded to Dehong Prefecture in the southwest. Yunnan coffee can be seen in several big cities such as Baoshan, Mangshi, Tengchong and so on. Yunnan coffee beans are Arabica's Typica and Cotml, of which the former is smaller, so it is called small-grain coffee.

As we all know, coffee is a new beverage in China, the real development of the coffee industry is also in recent years, and the history of coffee cultivation starts from Yunnan coffee. The introduction of coffee by French missionaries to the village of Zhukula in Binchuan County, Dali, Yunnan Province in 1892 is the origin of Chinese mainland coffee cultivation in history. Of course, as early as 1884, coffee cultivation began in Taiwan. However, the road of coffee industrialization in Yunnan is long and tortuous. Although a number of state-owned farms in Baoshan, Jinghong and other places planted coffee for export to the Soviet Union in the 1960s, coffee production was interrupted after the rupture of Sino-Soviet relations.

Until the late 1980s, Nestl é began to use Yunnan as a raw material procurement base, and coffee cultivation in Pu'er, Baoshan and other places was re-developed and gradually became large-scale. When Xiumen coffee went to the producing area for the first time in 2008, the coffee planting in Yunnan Province was only 390000 mu, and in 2010 it increased to 640000 mu, with an output of 49000 tons, but in recent years it showed a trend of rapid development. By 2014, Yunnan coffee planting area was 1.83 million mu, with an output of 118000 tons. The area has tripled in four years, which is something to be reckoned with!

The total output of coffee in Yunnan also accounts for 99% of the country's total, which is almost synonymous with Chinese coffee. The coffee-producing areas in Yunnan are also concentrated in the southwest of Yunnan Province, including Pu'er, Dehong, Lincang, Baoshan and Xishuangbanna. Recently, a small amount of coffee has been planted in Wenshan.

Most of the coffee plants in Yunnan are 1000-2000 meters above sea level, and the topography is mainly mountainous and sloping land, with large ups and downs, fertile soil, sufficient sunshine, rich rainfall and large temperature difference between day and night. The natural conditions of Yunnan are very similar to those of Colombia, that is, low latitude, high altitude and large temperature difference between day and night. The small grain coffee produced is mellow by cup quality analysis, and its quality and taste is similar to that of Colombian coffee.

Yunnan coffee is evaluated as the best coffee in the world because of its unique geographical environment and climatic conditions, which is strong but not bitter, fragrant but not strong, with a little fruit flavor. Coffee is rich in protein, fat, sucrose, starch, caffeine and other substances. after being made into a beverage, coffee is rich in aroma, delicious taste and rich nutrition, so it has become the world's three major beverages composed of tea and cocoa, and ranks first in the list.

Yunnan coffee is a variant of Arabian original species, which is generally known as Yunnan small-grain coffee, evergreen shrub, with small nuts, thick peel, sweet pulp, mellow products and low caffeine content, so it is also called light coffee. It is the main cultivated variety in the world.
