Many friends know Yunnan small-grain coffee, but I don't know it very well. Today, I would like to make an introduction from the origin, variety and growth cycle of Yunnan small-grain coffee beans to let you understand it.

First: Origin

Yunnan coffee is 1892, French missionaries successfully tried to grow coffee in Yunnan, there are still 24 coffee trees more than 90 years old in the place where they were planted. At the beginning, the missionaries also needed to drink their own coffee. Later, they began to grow coffee in the village where the missionaries lived (Zhukula village). The village has always been surrounded by coffee trees.

Although the village is relatively poor and backward, this place has an inextricable bond with coffee. In addition to growing coffee in the name of the village, the villagers also have a tradition of drinking coffee: self-growing, self-grinding, and self-brewing. Now men, women and children in the village all have the habit of drinking coffee.

By 2014, the coffee planting area of Yunnan Province is 1.83 million mu, and it is estimated that the coffee planting area of Yunnan Province will reach 2.8 million mu by 2020.

Yunnan small-grain coffee growing areas are mainly distributed in Lincang, Baoshan, Simao, Xishuangbanna, Dehong, Nujiang and other prefectures.

Typica and Bourbon, two classic high-quality coffee varieties, are the main cultivated varieties of coffee beans in Yunnan.

Tibica coffee, native to Ethiopia and southeastern Sudan, is the most widely cultivated variety of coffee in the Western Hemisphere. The plant is stronger, but not light-tolerant, and the yield is higher in Hawaii. The top leaf of Tibika is red and copper, which is called red top coffee.

Bourbon coffee is a variety of small-grain coffee second only to Tibica. At first, the main branch and the trunk grew upward at 45 degrees, and drooped with the fruit load, the lateral branches were denser, the fruit was more, and the yield was higher. But the berries are smaller and ripen more slowly. The top bud of Bobang is green, which is called green top coffee.

The flowering of coffee is greatly affected by climate, especially rainfall and temperature. Coffee flowers have a short life span of only 2-3 days. Small seed coffee usually opens at 3: 5 in the morning and blooms from 5 to 7 o'clock.
