Yunnan's coffee planting and output accounts for 98% of the country's total. What is the advantage of Yunnan coffee? Yunnan is the main coffee producing place in China, and more than 90% of the coffee in China is produced here.

Baoshan, Lincang, Pu'er and Dehong are the main coffee producing areas in our province. The climate temperature is very suitable for cultivating high-quality coffee beans. These major producing areas have nearly 2 million mu of planting area, and the total output far exceeds that of other provinces in our country.

The quality of coffee depends on many factors, such as growing environment, climate, cultivation and management techniques and so on. Its best growing environment is low latitude, high altitude, sufficient rainfall and suitable sunshine, so the north latitude is 15. The ideal growing area for coffee is between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Cancer.

However, other areas in this zone, such as Hawaii and Saudi Arabia in the United States, or low altitude or little rain in the desert, are not conducive to coffee growth, only southern Yunnan in this zone happens to have all kinds of conditions. According to the determination of experts, small seed coffee should be planted 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.

Yunnan coffee is mostly planted in dry and hot valleys at an altitude of 1100 meters above sea level, so it has a moderate sour taste, rich and mellow aroma.

In terms of climatic conditions, the long light time in southern Yunnan is conducive to plant growth and photosynthesis, and the large temperature difference between day and night and low temperature at night are conducive to the accumulation of coffee nutrients. Therefore, the effective nutrients of Yunnan small-grain coffee are higher than those of other foreign coffee varieties.

Small seed coffee is easy to be infected with rust, and the yield and quality of embroidery disease are deeply affected. In the hot area of Yunnan, due to the distinct dry and wet, the red ripening of fresh fruit enters the dry season every year, and the relative humidity is low, which is not conducive to the formation and growth of rust blister. Due to the excellent quality of Yunnan coffee, it entered the London market with "Lujiang No.1" in the 1960s and was rated as first-class. In recent years, the world-famous coffee companies such as Nestle and McDonnell have come to Yunnan to open up raw material bases, and the products produced in Yunnan are also gradually famous at home and abroad.

Yunnan coffee production accounts for 1% of the global coffee. Yunnan small grain coffee was introduced by missionaries a hundred years ago. at present, Yunnan small grain coffee is produced in 71 countries in the world, of which 5% is of good quality. Yunnan Baoshan small grain coffee is planted between 1000 and 1500 meters above sea level, and the climatic conditions are very good. It belongs to one of the top 5% coffee in the world, and the western countries with the largest consumption of coffee do not produce coffee. Starbucks and Nestl é coffee is produced in Yunnan, using ordinary coffee beans, Yunnan coffee quality is one of the best coffee varieties in the world.
