Some people in the industry pointed out that although today's Yunnan small grain coffee is mostly Arabica, but it mostly belongs to the Catimor variety in Arabica, which is a variety cultivated by Portuguese horticulturists in 1969, it is disease-resistant and high-yielding, but it has about 1/4 Robusta pedigree, oil and flavor need to be improved, strictly speaking, it is more suitable as the raw material of instant coffee.

In fact, for a long time, Yunnan small-grain coffee has lagged behind in both planting and production and deep processing, and has not formed a good industrialization. More than 60% of Yunnan small-grain coffee beans produced every year are acquired by large companies such as Nestle, Maxwell and Wyeth, and their prices are low, and they have never formed their own brands.

The history of coffee cultivation in Yunnan can be traced back to 1892 and was introduced by French missionaries. The western and southern parts of Yunnan are located between 15 °N and the Tropic of Cancer, most of which are 1000-2000 meters above sea level, and the topography is mainly mountainous and sloppy. and ups and downs, fertile soil, sufficient sunshine, rich rainfall, large temperature difference between day and night, such climate and natural features are very suitable for growing coffee.
