I believe that many friends have not heard of Yunnan coffee, after all, those we often drink on the market are foreign brands, in fact, in our China is also producing coffee.

Yunnan coffee planting area, production accounted for more than 99% of the country. Yunnan's natural conditions are very similar to those of Colombia. The coffee produced in Yunnan tastes similar to that of Colombia Arabica coffee, and the overall quality is better than that of Brazilian coffee. Liang Houfu, a well-known news commentator in the United States, wrote: "The best coffee in the world is produced in Yunnan, and the coffee produced in Yunnan is very enjoyable to touch the tongue." More than 60% of the coffee beans produced each year are acquired by large companies such as Nestle, Maxwell and Wyeth, and the price is low. Due to the lack of deep processing and marketing, Yunnan coffee has a low reputation and is locked in the mountains.

So how does coffee come from?

In 1892, French missionary Father Tian successfully planted coffee in a place called Zhukula in Yunnan Province. Up to now, 24 coffee trees with more than 100 years old still grow in Zhukula Township. Zhukula is a mysterious, legendary and beautiful natural village, belonging to Zhukula Village Committee of Pingchuan Town, Binchuan County, Dali Prefecture. It is located on the bank of Yupao River, a tributary of Jinsha River. This is a place where Dali Prefecture, Chuxiong City and Lijiang City meet.

The growth period of Arabica coffee

Coffea arabica 3~4 years old fruiting trees. Coffee is a short-day plant. Coffee has the characteristics of multiple flowering and concentrated flowering. Coffea arabica flowers from February to July and blooms from March to May in Yunnan. The flowering of coffee is greatly affected by climate, especially rainfall and temperature. Coffee flower life is short, only 2 - 3 days. Arabica coffee generally opens at 3 to 5 in the morning and blooms at 5 to 7. Coffee fruits take longer to develop. Coffee arabica ripens in 8~10 months, usually in October ~ December of the year. Rainfall has a great influence on fruit development, and climate conditions directly affect fruit development.

Therefore, friends after understanding is not eager to taste, drink more other neutral coffee, change the taste from time to time is not bad ah.

product Brief of

Catimor has been widely planted in Dehong, Baoshan, Pu 'er, Xishuangbanna, Lincang, Wenshan and Yuxi in coffee planting areas of Yunnan Province.

In 1959, the Portugal moved the Brazilian bourbon mutant Kadura to East Timor and interbred it with Timtimor, which has a Robusta lineage. Unexpectedly, they succeeded in breeding Kadim, which is highly resistant to disease and highly productive. As leaf rust afflicts coffee producing countries worldwide, katim is being promoted to combat leaf rust and improve productivity with the assistance of international organizations.

approach

This bean is washed.

Screening coffee cherries--removing pulp--fermentation--washing--drying--dehulling

Kannon uses a peeling machine to separate most of the pulp from the coffee beans, and then guides the beans with shells to a clean tank, soaking them in water for fermentation to completely remove the residual pulp layer. After washing, they present obvious fruit acid and cleaner taste.
