Arabica is deeply loved by Chinese people who have a short history of coffee contact because of its rich fruity flavor. It was introduced into China by missionaries in the 19th century. It is widely planted in Panzhihua, Sichuan Province and Jinsha River dry and hot valley area with an altitude of more than 1000 meters in western Yunnan Province. The sunshine time in this area is long and the temperature difference between day and night is large. The local people solved the problem of insufficient seasonal rainfall by diverting water up the mountain, and achieved the unique aroma of "Chinese coffee". Among them, Especially in Panzhihua, Sichuan Province, Arabica coffee is the most. Compared with Yunnan and Hainan, Panzhihua, which is located in the dry and hot valley, has longer sunshine, higher altitude, greater temperature difference, good light quality and more virgin land. It is the most suitable area for planting Arabica coffee.

Banpo coffee farmers take advantage of this advantage, using a unique planting and processing technology: first,"the whole process does not fall to the ground": from the collection of coffee beans to processing into finished products, coffee has been kept free from the influence of soil and other impurities, to ensure taste and quality; second,"graded collection": because coffee beans are not uniform mature, so the collection of coffee beans of the same level is concentrated, rather than mixed together; Such as manual operation, the use of a large number of labor manual collection, classification, processing. The coffee aroma here is rich, sour and bitter balance, as well as fruit flavor, which is very popular with consumers and favored by foreign coffee beverage giants. Arabica coffee is still the most important coffee variety, accounting for about 3/4 of the world's total coffee production. It is cultivated mainly in Latin American countries, but also in Indonesia and the Pacific islands. The geographical and climatic conditions of Brazil, the world's largest coffee producing area, are very suitable for the growth of Arabica coffee. The main coffee varieties planted are also Arabica coffee. Brazil's coffee production accounts for more than 1/3 of the world's total production.

Arabica coffee accounts for about 65%-80% of coffee, and its excellent flavor and aroma make it the only coffee of these native species that can be drunk directly and alone. However, its resistance to drought, frost, diseases and insect pests is low, especially to the biggest natural enemy of coffee-leaf rust, so all producing countries are committed to improving varieties. For example, Sri Lanka, which is known as Sri Lanka, used to be one of the famous coffee producing countries, but at the end of the 19th century, coffee plantations were not spared because of leaf rust. Since then, Sri Lanka has turned to black tea, and India is also a black tea kingdom. Arabica is a large shrub with oval, dark green leaves and oval fruits.
