Why did you come to Yunnan to look for small grains of coffee? Yunnan small grain coffee is very famous, small grain coffee is Arabica species, originated in Ethiopia or Arabian Peninsula, distributed in China in Yunnan, Fujian and other provinces.

The main producing area is in Yunnan, so the main producing area of coffee beans in China is in Yunnan. Yunnan small grain coffee is strong but not bitter, fragrant but not strong, with a little fruit flavor, cultivation techniques and coffee flavor are widely recognized by experts.

After the founding of New China, the development history of Baoshan coffee industry has mainly experienced four stages. The first stage is the initial stage. In the 1950s, Baoshan small-grain coffee was successfully popularized and planted in Lujiang Dam, and the planting area of coffee in the city was nearly 10,000 mu by 1960.

The second stage was the landslide stage, and the planting shrank in the early and middle 1960s due to the influence of market and diseases. by the end of 1970s, the planting area of coffee in the city was only 0.3 mu.

The third stage is the restart stage. in the late 1980s, with the participation of the Yunnan project assisted by the United Nations Development Programme and the specialized coffee production groups such as Nestle and McDonnell, the price of coffee increased, up to 30 yuan per kilogram. Baoshan Coffee started again. By 1997, the planting area of coffee in the city was nearly 30,000 mu.

The fourth stage is the stage of rapid development. Since the start and implementation of the province's biological resources development project, Baoshan coffee industry has developed by leaps and bounds.

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.

Baoshan small grain coffee is a national geographical indication product, and it is one of the better quality coffee varieties in the whole country and even in the world. Baoshan small grain coffee has three characteristics: unique quality, rich aroma, mellow taste, strong but not bitter, fragrant but not strong, and slightly sour taste. its taste can be comparable to the world-famous Blue Mountain Coffee. "Lujiang No. 1" coffee won the "Yucari" gold medal at the World Coffee Competition in Belgium.
