Yunnan small grain coffee was introduced by missionaries a hundred years ago. at present, Yunnan small grain coffee is produced in 71 countries in the world, of which 5% is of good quality. Yunnan Baoshan small grain coffee is planted between 1000 and 1500 meters above sea level, and the climatic conditions are very good. It belongs to one of the top 5% coffee in the world, and the western countries with the largest consumption of coffee do not produce coffee. Starbucks and Nestl é coffee is produced in Yunnan and uses ordinary coffee beans. Yunnan coffee is one of the best coffee varieties in the world.

The cultivation of Baoshan small grain coffee has a long history, although there are no detailed historical records to test the specific planting age, but in the Yunnan Baoshan small grain coffee written by he Yunhua, according to the memories of the old reclamation team members of Baoshan Lujiangba Xincheng Farm, around 1958, there are also many century-old coffee trees in the new city that survived on the land of Lujiang chieftain, and these coffee trees are also full of fruit. It was cut down in the mid-1960s.

Baoshan began to grow in Lujiang military Reclamation Farm in 1955, researching, developing and expanding the planting area of sporadic coffee trees brought in by foreign missionaries more than 100 years ago, in order to provide coffee to Soviet aid to China. There were many difficulties at that time, although it had the temperature to grow coffee, but due to low rainfall, strong sunshine, dry air, light frost for several days and high temperature for a period of time. Coupled with the interference of the Dai tribe at that time, it was really very difficult. Our army was not afraid of difficulties, overcame many difficulties, and finally came to fruition in the third year. Turn a few scattered old trees into hundreds of acres of coffee plantations. Later, because of the Cultural Revolution, he criticized that "growing coffee is for foreigners" and "the proletariat does not eat coffee", which destroyed the hero "Lao Qiao team", and no one took care of the coffee, but the coffee was barren and had serious diseases and insect pests, so it was almost abandoned. Until 1982, after the reform and opening up, the government began to grow coffee again. Brother Weng also said that most domestic coffee manufacturers think that Yunnan coffee is basically a Catimor: an important variety of commercial beans at present. East Timor was colonized by Portugal for 400 years, and the Portuguese had long been in contact with East Timorese coffee trees. In 1959, the Portuguese moved the Brazilian bourbon mutant Kadura to East Timor and interbred with Tim, who was of Robusta origin, and succeeded in breeding Kadim with strong disease resistance and super production capacity. ) but as anyone who knows about the history of coffee knows, Kadim is an improved variety introduced from Kenya to Yunnan in 1991. Because of its high caffeine content, it is resistant to insect pests and is suitable for growing at low elevations, so it has a high yield. It can be concluded that the coffee planted in Baoshan military reclamation farm in 1952 was not Kadim, but tin card.
