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.

The average temperature of Lujiangba in Baoshan is 21.5℃, and the highest is 40.4 ℃, which is basically frost-free all the year round. It is recognized as the best producing area of small-grain coffee.

The small-grain coffee cultivated here is famous at home and abroad for its strong but not bitter, fragrant but not strong, well-proportioned small noodles, mellow and fruity.

In recent years, the planting area of small-grain coffee in other producing areas of Yunnan has been expanding, the quality has also made great progress, and the popularity of small-grain coffee has been improved both at home and abroad.

After inspecting the coffee planting and primary processing base in Yunnan, the tasting experts of the International Coffee Organization rated Yunnan coffee as the kind of small seed coffee processed by Colombian wet processing, which is the highest quality coffee in the world.

Yunnan Baoshan Coffee Variety

Along the way, most of the varieties planted in Yunnan are Katim, which is a hybrid of Kaddura and Robusta, a branch of the bourbon line in the Arabica species. The reason for planting this variety is that Katim has the Robusta gene, so it is better than a single old variety in disease resistance, and the yield is better, and the yield is lower than that of the delicate old variety. Farmers naturally prefer to grow Katim, so now there has been a wave of Katim in Yunnan.

In the vast expanse of Katim, it is easy to recognize. After careful observation, you will find that each species has its own appearance, Katim's leaves are hanging down, the tree shape seems to be wearing a cloak. On the other hand, the iron pickup truck has upward branches and new leaves on the top of the tree.

The new leaves at the tip of the branches are copper, and this is the Tiebika coffee tree. Iron pickup is an old variety of Arabica species, and the well-known Blue Mountains of Jamaica and Kona of Hawaii are actually tin cards. In the vast expanse of Katim, it is easy to recognize. Typica, one of the oldest varieties of Arabica coffee, has bronzed top leaves and oval or thin-shaped beans; elegant flavor, but weak physique, poor disease resistance and low fruit yield.

The Arabica species originated in Ethiopia, where it still grows naturally today in the highlands of the pristine rainforest. 13Murray was brought to Yemen in the 14th century, and tin pickups were planted in Hortus Botanicus, Amsterdam, around 1700. The Ironpickup saplings are the first saplings brought from the Dutch royal garden to Central and South America and the New World to be planted. Iron pickup is a pure precious tree species with oval fruit shape, brass leaves and varied fruit flavor.
