Flavor characteristics of coffee beans all over the world
Yunnan Coffee in China
Coffee is a product of the tropics. You may not believe it, but the best coffee growing area in the world is in Yunnan Province of China. Unfortunately, Chinese people do not attach importance to coffee, do not know how to use coffee in exchange for foreign exchange…also have no hobbies, but very fond of drinks. The so-called drink is not alcohol, but coffee everywhere. I've tasted it all, and I didn't know it until today. The best coffee producing area is not Colombia, Turkey, Indonesia, but the mainland of China. After inspecting Yunnan coffee planting and primary processing bases, experts from the International Coffee Organization evaluated Yunnan coffee as Colombia wet-processed Arabica coffee, which is the highest quality coffee in the world.
It is well known that coffee is produced from the equator to 15 degrees north latitude, so it is produced in South America and Indonesia and Africa. However, coffee produced at the equator to 15 degrees north latitude is too strong and bitter, so only some people who drink coffee and do not know its taste will like it. In fact, the best coffee should be produced between 15 degrees north latitude and the Tropic of Cancer.
Coincidentally, the southern part of China's Yunnan Province (especially near Laos) and the northern part of Yunnan Island happen to lie on the upper edge of this golden belt. Hawaii, Saudi Arabia and other places in the United States, although located in this zone, on the one hand, Hawaii has no mountains, no fog, and on the other hand, there is no water in the sandy desert, so coffee cannot settle down. Therefore, the best coffee production in the world is actually in China.
