In 1892 (18th year of Guang Xu of the Qing Dynasty), the French missionary Tian Deneng planted the first coffee tree in Zhugula Village, Binchuan, Dali, which opened the prelude to the cultivation of coffee by Chinese mainland. Lujiangba in Baoshan, dry and hot valley climate is very suitable for the cultivation of coffee, because the back of Gaoligong Mountain coffee garden can reach 1500 meters above sea level. In 1952, the first trial in Baoshan area was just half of China's 100-year history of coffee. In the early days, Arabica varieties were introduced in the village, mainly iron pickup and bourbon. Today, I went with Jing Xiaobian to learn about the coffee farm in Lujiangba.

Lujiangba coffee plantation

I. the ecology of Lujiangba coffee plantation.

Later, a thing that may have happened in most of the producing areas of the world, in order to simply increase the yield, coffee farmers began to cut off good varieties of coffee and planted varieties with poor flavor but very high yield. the s288, which is resistant to leaf rust, was introduced at the initial stage, and a more high-yielding Katim species was introduced in the later stage. At that time, the public purchase of coffee did not do cup testing, only looking at the size and integrity of raw beans, regardless of flavor, just like the early purchase of tea, this way even continues to this day. The older generation of coffee people basically do not drink coffee, they just regard coffee as a cash crop, hoping to increase their income, so a large number of improved varieties of coffee have been cut down and replanted with varieties with poor flavor but high yield. Mr. Coffee grower instructs coffee trees that have stopped growing because of frost, and tells us that unripe fruit is the root cause of "Quick beans" and that red-to-purple fruits are the sweetest in the sun. experienced coffee farmers in the local area are the best teachers.

Second, Lujiangba Coffee Base

Mainly on the picked coffee beans for simple classification and processing, in order to purchase and follow-up refined processing. The drying field of the base has been covered with red fruits in sun treatment, among which many immature fruits need to be further screened. Beans of good quality should be put on the sun-drying bed so that the coffee processed will be cleaner. The following is the method of washing coffee beans:

1. Buoyancy selection to remove unripe beans.

2. The peeling machine removes the peel and pulp to get the shell bean.

3. Soak in the pool and ferment for 24 hours to remove pectin.

4. the scaffolding is sun-dried (about a week)

5. hand selection twice during the sun to remove defective beans

6. Leave the shell beans at the end of the sun for two months and then shell them to get coffee beans.

7. All the red fruits of the final quality have been weighed, loaded and shipped

Third, Lujiangba coffee roasting

The cup was tested with two water washes, one half washed and one in the sun. As a result, each has his own love. The semi-washed is mild and sweet, the acid is bright and the taste is soft, the sun is more controversial: the aroma is particularly fermented. However, the moon's friends prefer the sun to Yunnan, looking forward to its treatment after the year will bring us more surprises.

Speaking of Yunnan beans always seem to have a headache about the quality of the good and the bad, the feeling of this manor trip is that the quality is different, one is the quality control of picking (the whole red fruit and the green red are completely different), the other is the quality control of the way of handling (exquisite handling is so important! ). If you can control these two aspects well, you can get good Yunnan beans. The natural environment here in Baoshan is excellent, the variety is diverse, and there are many katimos. Recently, there have been a lot of cultivation of iron pickup and bourbon. The environment, variety, picking and treatment can all have a good level, and the final coffee beans will not be bad. Pan Qizuo, who regards growing and handling coffee beans as "something that must be done well", believes that he will bring his garden to cultivate a better "Yunnan coffee".
