Yunnan coffee is the main and largest coffee producing area in China. At present, Yunnan coffee producing areas are mainly distributed in Simao, Banna, Wenshan, Baoshan and Dehong in the south and southwest of Yunnan Province.
Yunnan coffee imported by Huangsheng Coffee Company is mainly produced in Pu 'er. Pu' er is a small town located in Simao area and also the hometown of Pu 'er tea. It is surrounded by lush mountains and surrounded by white clouds. Because Pu' er tea is famous, coffee beans are also planted and produced in this tea town. It is somewhat surprising. The coffee farms operated in this area are mostly small farms of 300-700 mu, mainly producing Arabica coffee beans. The Tropic of Cancer just crosses Simao territory. It conforms to the basic conditions for coffee cultivation. The climate here is pleasant and belongs to the subtropical monsoon climate zone of low latitude plateau. It has the characteristics of low latitude, high temperature, rainy and calm wind. There is no cold in winter, no scorching heat in summer, and the four seasons are like spring. The average temperature is 19℃. The planting altitude is between 900 and 1300 meters. The annual average rainfall is 1500 mm. It has the conditions for producing high-quality coffee beans inherently.
Before large-scale planting, it was not easy for Yunnan folk to drink a cup of coffee. To fry coffee, it was necessary to manually crush the parchment layer with a stone pestle, then stir the coffee beans manually with an iron pan, and then grind them into powder. It is very troublesome to drink a cup of coffee. This mode is also difficult to grasp the taste of coffee. Therefore, local people do not have the habit of drinking coffee. So far, it is quite easy to drink a cup of Pu 'er tea in Pu' er City. You can get it anywhere, but it is very difficult to find a place to drink a cup of coffee. You can't find a coffee shop in Pu 'er Street. Even coffee roasting factories can only be found in Simao City or Kunming.
I have visited several local coffee farms in Yunnan to observe their mode of cultivation and processing of coffee beans. Their main cultivation and processing techniques and experience come from international coffee companies. These international coffee companies purchase large quantities of green coffee beans from Yunnan producing areas and set up coffee agricultural experimental farms to teach local farmers how to cultivate and process coffee beans. They mainly introduce Colombia processing methods, which are similar to Colombia models from washing beans to fermentation and drying beans. These international coffee companies are mostly large companies that mainly produce coffee powder and instant coffee in the world. The quality requirements for coffee beans are acceptable, mainly the demand for quantity; therefore, the requirements for bean shape and defects in coffee quality are not strict, so local coffee farmers grow and produce processed coffee in this direction. Problems often arise in terms of cultivation and treatment patterns.
We tried to find some farms in Yunnan producing areas that can produce high-quality coffee, and communicated with some coffee farm owners technically. In some farms, we selected one that could cooperate with our processing technology, and made some discussions and requirements to improve the quality of coffee beans. We also thanked the farmers for their cooperation in this process. At the same time, they also improved the quality. We worked hard to get good results and got the quality of Yunnan fine coffee beans.
Yunnan coffee is generally treated by washing mode. In the early stage, some large factories introduced Colombia treatment mode. Washing beans and drying beans are all adopted Colombia mode. Coffee fruits are separated from skin meat mechanically, fermented in fermentation tank for 24 hours, and then washed with water to remove viscous slurry. At the same time of washing, bad beans are separated by buoyancy of water. Up to now, the treated coffee is close to the level of foreign coffee countries.
However, in the latter stage of processing, local farmers use some rice processors to improve coffee bean processing, because rice and coffee beans have great differences, which often causes some coffee beans to be processed, resulting in a high rate of destruction. When we entered the production area, we had some discussions with the local coffee farmers. However, since most of the farms were small-scale operations and the funds were relatively insufficient, we found a more economical and effective model to match them. However, in order to meet the quality requirements, a lot of manual treatment was used to achieve the goal.
Although the Yunnan coffee beans imported by Huangsheng Company have not reached the most satisfactory requirements of our company under the close supervision of the whole process, it is a rare quality for local farms. This result is also satisfactory to the farms themselves. This is a very good experience. If they can upgrade and replace the processing equipment they use, they will certainly be able to achieve better and more stable quality. They do not have to spend a lot of manpower and procedures to achieve this standard because of the quality required by us.
Yunnan coffee is located in the famous Pu 'er tea area of China due to its geographical environment. The coffee garden is not far away from the tea garden. The coffee has a little tea flavor, but it still retains the characteristics of Asian beans. The chocolate flavor is obvious, the taste is rich and full, smooth, the acidity is quite soft and moderate, and the sweetness is high. Although washed beans have some of the natural wildness of unwashed beans, overall, a satisfying, pleasant coffee bean.
