Introduction to the Origin of Coffee in Yunnan small Coffee Plantation

Yunnan's high-quality geographical and climatic conditions provide good conditions for the growth of small-grain coffee. The planting areas are Lincang, Baoshan, Simao, Xishuangbanna, Dehong and other prefectures.

Dehong Hougu Coffee Co., Ltd. is better in the Science and Technology Museum, No. 1 Cuihu West Road, Kunming, Yunnan Province.

Small-grain coffee is suitable for growing in the mountains at an altitude of 800 to 1800 meters. If the altitude is too high, it will taste sour, and if it is too low, it will taste bitter. Small grains of coffee are mostly planted in dry and hot valleys about 1100 meters above sea level, so they are moderately sour, rich and mellow. There is a unique environment suitable for the growth of small seed coffee in many areas of Yunnan, and the quality of small seed coffee is excellent.

The planting areas are mainly distributed in Lincang, Baoshan, Simao, Xishuangbanna, Dehong, Nujiang and other states.

Yunnan small-grain coffee, Rubiaceae, coffee genus, the planting area is mainly distributed in Lincang, Baoshan, Simao, Xishuangbanna, Dehong, Nujiang and other states. [1] small grains of coffee are native to Ethiopia or Arabian Peninsula. It is cultivated in Fujian, Guangdong, Hainan, Guangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan. Superior geographical conditions make the coffee industry in Yunnan develop rapidly. In 2014, both planting area and output accounted for more than 99% of the country's total.

The main planting sites are also concentrated in Dehong Lincang and Pu'er Banna in Baoshan, western Yunnan. The coffee introduced by missionaries in the 19th century was mainly Robusta, but it was no longer planted on a large scale. In the 1950s, experts assisted by the Soviet Union brought two mainstream Arabica varieties: iron pickup typica and bourbon bourbon to Baoshan, Yunnan, for cultivation and promotion, which was well received. Later, due to the special period, Scientific research and cultivation tends to stagnate. After the reform and opening up, thanks to the efforts of local agricultural experts, the variety of iron pickup cultivated by Baoshan state-run Lujiang Farm and Xincheng Youth Farm also won the first place in the international coffee competition. However, people's awareness of coffee, so that we do not increase too much interest in planting. Since the early 1990s, in order to improve the enthusiasm of farmers, Baoshan Rezuo has introduced a Katim variety bred by the Portuguese Coffee Rust Research Center with Timor (medium grain, Tim) and Caturra (small grain, Kaddura), and has been popularized and planted with numerous titles. This variety has solved many factors such as disease and insect disasters and drought resistance, and the important thing is that the yield per mu has nearly doubled. Although it has increased the enthusiasm of farmers to grow coffee, it has also become the reason for the low quality of Yunnan coffee from now on. At the same time, Nestl é and Maxwell entered China and began to promote coffee varieties suitable for instant coffee in Pu'er and other places: S288, natural hybrid of large seed and small seed and S26 of kent hybrid of Arabica Kent in India, which had first-class rust resistance, but the planting difficulty and adaptability were low, and the cultivation was basically stopped at the beginning of the 20th century.
