The topography is dominated by mountains and slopes, with large ups and downs, fertile soil, sufficient sunshine, rich rainfall and large temperature difference between day and night. These unique natural conditions form the particularity of Yunnan small grain coffee taste-strong but not bitter, fragrant but not strong, slightly fruity.

Coffee cultivation in Yunnan is mainly distributed in Lincang, Baoshan, Pu'er and Dehong, where there are natural resources of low latitude, high altitude and large temperature difference between day and night, which makes Yunnan a golden growing area for producing Arabica coffee with high quality.

Yunnan coffee treatment method

In Yunnan, the main treatment method is washing.

Use a peeling machine to separate most of the pulp from the coffee beans, then guide the shelled beans to a clean sink, soak them in water and ferment to completely remove the residual pulp layer. Through washing, unripe beans and defective beans are selected because of buoyancy, and the fermentation process is easier to control, so the flavor is not mixed like sun beans, but shows obvious acidity, complexity and cleaner characteristics in the cup.
