As Baoshan is located in the low-latitude plateau, complex landforms, the formation of "one mountain is divided into four seasons, ten miles of different days" three-dimensional climate, the altitude and climate here is the most suitable for growing coffee. Lujiang and Puhu are the earliest commercialized areas of growing coffee in Yunnan Province, especially the unique temperature difference of Lujiang Dam (which varies greatly in the morning and evening), sufficient sunshine, excellent soil conditions and good planting techniques. Baoshan coffee has formed a unique taste: strong but not bitter, fragrant but not strong, slightly sour. Its high-altitude coffee is comparable to the world's best Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, which enjoys a high reputation in both domestic and international markets.

As a coffee drinker, have you ever seen a coffee tree? Have you seen what coffee beans look like? To tell you the truth, I really didn't think about this problem when I drank coffee before. It was a worthwhile trip to Baoshan. I had a new understanding of coffee trees, coffee beans and how to pick and brew coffee, as well as a new understanding of coffee culture. As a fashionable drink, coffee has long been popular all over the world, and there are many drinkers, but there are many people who don't know where the coffee beans come from.

The coffee tree has white flowers, the petals are spirally arranged, and the heart jumps around the petals, emitting the fragrance of jasmine flowers; the flowers are set to zero in two or three days, and a few months later they bear fruit, which is oval, berry, crimson, and contains two seeds. This is the coffee bean we are familiar with.

Baoshan Kopi Luwak is too famous, but many people don't know how Kopi Luwak came into being. There are many misunderstandings.

Kopi Luwak is made by civets or masked palm civet after eating the coffee fruit, the coffee beans are not digested and discharged, and then the coffee beans in their feces are extracted and processed. Kopi Luwak first originated in Indonesia. In the early 18th century, the Dutch built coffee plantations in Sumatra and Java. Indonesian locals inadvertently found that civets love this kind of coffee fruit and drain the beans intact. After the coffee beans are fermented in the civets' stomach, the coffee tastes better than normal, and then this kind of coffee is famous. But the output of this kind of coffee is very low, so the price is very high.

Baoshan, Yunnan Province, is a relatively early region in the production of Kopi Luwak in China, because there are no civets in China, and the cost of introduction is relatively high. There is less coffee made by civet shit here, while there are many masked palm civet in Yunnan, so most of them make Kopi Luwak through masked palm civet.

These masked palm civet are raised in the greenhouse, three or four a room, the room is very clean, breeders must be sterilized to enter the greenhouse. They like to choose the most mature and sweet, juicy coffee fruits as food, and usually eat some fruits such as bananas, dragon fruits and so on. These coffee fruits ferment in the stomach, destroying the protein of coffee beans, producing short peptides and free amino acids, reducing the bitterness of coffee. After it is discharged from the body, it should be dried in the sun.

There are dozens of coffee enterprises, some mainly processing raw materials, some mainly finishing, the quality of which is getting better and better, and brand awareness has been significantly improved, especially the products of finishing enterprises are exported to Europe and the United States, Arab and other countries.
