Professional coffee knowledge exchange more coffee bean information please follow the coffee workshop (Wechat official account cafe_style)

Yunnan has always been the leader in domestic coffee cultivation, and the overall quality of its coffee is better than that of Brazilian coffee and similar to Colombian small-grain coffee. Liang Houfu, a famous news critic in the United States, wrote: "the best origin of coffee in the world is in Yunnan, and the coffee produced in Yunnan is very enjoyable to touch the tongue." The main coffee producing areas in the province are Baoshan, Dehong, Pu'er and Lincang.

Baoshan Lujiangba is a unique dry and hot valley climate in Yunnan Province and even the whole country, which is very suitable for the growth of coffee trees. Lujiangba is located at 98 °44 miles in east diameter and 25 °33 degrees in north latitude. It is located at the eastern foot of Gaoligong Mountain and on both sides of Nujiang River. It is 640m-3510 m above sea level. Most of the coffee growing areas are located in 800ml 1200m above sea level, and a few have been planted in areas about 1400 m above sea level.

Based on the unique resources of Lujiangba, we contacted the owner of the coffee plantation in advance and came to the old foundation coffee plantation.

Coffee trees all over the mountains:

In April, it was the season for the harvest of small coffee beans and coffee blossoms in Lujiangba, Yunnan. The flawless petals and faint fragrance attracted the favor of bees:

It is refreshing to stand among the beautiful coffee flowers.

In addition to the beautiful coffee flowers, there are also coffee fruits with the laudatory name of "red cherry" that can be picked. Under the leadership of the host, we climbed up the mountain. There are coffee trees up and down here. Of course, there are some other persimmons, mangoes and other fruit trees. We can't help feeling that the great rivers and mountains of the motherland are so rich in gifts from nature.

We arrived at the place where we could pick coffee fruit:

The red and purple ones are ripe coffee fruits that can be picked, while the yellow and green fruits will ripen after a while.

A bunch of coffee fruits grow on the tree, like rubies.

We turned into a little girl picking coffee, a young man. Pick one into the mouth, sweet and sour taste, can quench thirst and thirst.

The full and fresh "ruby" we picked:

For the picked coffee fruit, there are three main pre-processing methods: sun treatment, honey treatment and water washing. In the old foundation factory, the sun is their common treatment. Here are the coffee fruits on the drying ground:

Coffee beans without pulp and shell:

At this station, we mainly visit the coffee plantation, and the rest of the coffee processing process is not introduced.

Here, I would like to thank the owner of the old foundation coffee farm and his family for their warm hospitality.
