Under the tide of boutique coffee, the number of buyers of Yunnan coffee beans has obviously increased. In recent years, Yunnan coffee beans are no longer the former Yunnan coffee beans, and the planting technology, variety quality and coffee flavor have been well improved, so Yunnan coffee has no longer been equated with instant coffee, and has become a dark horse. Onto the stage of boutique coffee. So how does Yunnan coffee taste now? What is it that people pay attention to? In this article, Qianjie Coffee will talk about the different development of Yunnan coffee beans in recent years.

People will pay attention to Yunnan coffee again, one is that with the support of the state, coffee farmers have a more scientific and systematic way of growing coffee, refreshing coffee quality and output; one is because in recent years, more and more brands and baristas have brought Yunnan coffee into public view, which has played a great role in promoting the development of its industry. One is that modern consumers have become popular with the consumption mode of "domestic light", so many coffee brands have also added Yunnan coffee beans to the bean list one after another.

The cultivation of coffee in Yunnan should start from more than 100 years. In 1904, Catholic Father Tian came to Yibin, Yunnan via the Yunnan-Vietnam railway, and established a church in the village of Zhugula. Near the church, he planted the first batch of coffee trees in Yunnan. According to records, this coffee tree is a small-grain variety, which is what we now call Arabica coffee tree. After genetic verification, this small-grain coffee tree is an iron card variety. Although coffee trees have been introduced, due to the long history of Chinese tea culture, people are not interested in the emergence of coffee, so it has not been planted by farmers.

In the spring of 1952, the scientific and technical personnel of Mangshi Branch of Yunnan Agricultural Experimental Field brought more than 70 kilograms of fresh fruit from Nongxian Village to Lujiangba in Baoshan City for trial planting, and found that they had good adaptability and good quality, and continued to grow.

Until 1960, in order to repay the Soviet Union, the state arranged to plant all the crops that were popular in the Soviet Union, and coffee was one of them. Yunnan has always had a basis for growing coffee, so farmers are required to start cultivating and planting coffee trees in large quantities, mature and dried, and then uniformly purchased by the state foreign trade department and then shipped to the Soviet Union.

In order to increase the output of coffee in Yunnan, in addition to Dali, there are coffee planting areas in Baoshan, Xincheng, Dehong, Ruili, Kancho, Wenshan and Tianbao. At its peak, the total coffee planting area reached more than 50,000 mu. But later, after the repayment, the relevant departments no longer make great acquisitions, and the domestic demand for coffee is also very small. In addition, the outbreak of leaf rust at that time led to the death of a large number of coffee trees, so farmers cut down coffee trees one after another, and coffee cultivation in Yunnan was reduced to more than 2000 mu.

It was not until Nestl é took a fancy to Yunnan and distributed Katim coffee trees that are better resistant to leaf rust that coffee trees were replanted and supplied to Nestl é. However, because Katim has the gene of the Robusta variety, its flavor is not as good as people want, and it is not good to drink directly, so the influence of Yunnan coffee is on the instant coffee.

Until nearly a decade, the cultivation of coffee in Yunnan has made more scientific development, and the technology of dealing with coffee beans has been more innovative, so the flavor of coffee has more room to improve. And more and more people have demand for coffee in China, so the development of Yunnan coffee is very fast, and the taste is also very novel.

Although the treatment method gives coffee a lot of room to change its flavor, Qianjie Coffee believes that in order to really make Yunnan coffee acceptable to the public, it must be changed from the root. The reason why Yunnan coffee is not delicious is that the variety contains the Robusta gene, and this variety has a very strong disease resistance and insect resistance, because it contains a lot of chlorogenic acid, which is also the source of coffee unpleasant bitterness.

If you want Yunnan coffee to taste good, you have to change the planting variety, so Qianjie Coffee has rented the hills in Lincang, Yunnan Province, and set up Qianjie Coffee Manor, mainly growing the most traditional coffee tin card varieties, as well as a small number of bourbon varieties. From the point of view of high-quality coffee beans, selecting high-altitude areas, breeding excellent coffee varieties and green planting may be an attempt for the healthy and sustainable development of coffee producing areas in Yunnan.

Qianjie Coffee Farm has had the harvest of "Qianjie 2013 Yunnan Iron pickup Coffee beans" since 2018. During the 2020 and 21 production season, Qianjie harvested 200 kilograms of raw coffee beans. Qianjie gave it to new and old customers to taste fresh, and it was also well received by some friends. Until the new production season in 2021 / 22, the yield of iron pickup coffee beans in Qianjie reached 600 kilograms, which is now available in Qianjie coffee stores and Taobao stores. Due to the change in the variety of coffee, "Qianjie 2013 Yunnan Iron pickup Coffee beans" uses the traditional sun treatment, its flavor is very full and attractive, with Brin, berries, brown sugar, black tea, nut flavor.
