Yunnan, as a major agricultural province in China, has a lot of local specialties (www.yntcb.com). The small specialties on Yunnan land are numerous. Today, what I want to introduce to you is coffee, a specialty that has nothing to do with Yunnan at first glance.

Yunnan small grain coffee has a long history, with the development of tourism in Yunnan, this unique small resource has gradually come into everyone's attention. There are many farms growing coffee beans in Yunnan, and the coffee garden in Baoshan is a typical one.

Lujiang Dam in Longyang District of Baoshan City, which is full of light and frost-free all the year round, is one of the typical subtropical dry and hot valleys in China. In the middle of winter, the coffee all over the mountains will be ripe and enter the picking season, and the red and green coffee beans are loaded with branches, which is particularly gratifying. Due to the influence of the geographical factors of Gaoligong Mountain, the small grains of coffee grown here absorb the essence of the sun and the moon all the year round, collect the aura of heaven and earth, and become famous for its high quality.

Small coffee beans in the mature stage

Baoshan small-grain coffee is the earliest product in line with the market and the international market. It has been rated as the best coffee in the world by world-class coffee experts for many years, but it has encountered bottlenecks in the process of development. As most of the primary processing of peeling and degumming is completed by the farmers themselves, it is difficult to unify the technology and quality standards, resulting in different quality of the newly processed coffee beans, thus affecting the price. To this end, some enterprises actively adjust the industrial structure, committed to take the boutique coffee route, the introduction of peeling and degumming all-in-one machine, greatly improve the initial processing level of coffee, but also get a larger market and profit space.

Small-grained coffee (Coffea arabica L.) small trees or large shrubs, 5-8 m tall; old branches gray-white, young branches glabrous. Leaves thinly leathery, ovate-lanceolate or lanceolate, both surfaces glabrous; petiole 8-15 mm long; stipules broadly triangular.

Native to Ethiopia or Arabian Peninsula. It is cultivated in Fujian, Taiwan, Guangdong, Hainan, Guangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan. This species is the most widely cultivated species in the genus Coffee. After processing, the coffee tastes mellow and contains low caffeine.

Yunnan coffee belongs to fine coffee, but it can also be used to make beans for espresso. If you want to use Yunnan coffee to make milk coffee, you need to mix beans with a balanced flavor.
