The layout of a typical coffee farm in southwestern Yunnan is 5000 coffee trees per hectare, growing in the sun and in the style of a plantation. Catimor is the variety of choice for farmers in this area, because of its low susceptibility to disease, high yield and quick effect. Farmers use a cleaned harvesting method that has included mechanical mucus removal in recent years. Hu Xixiang stands out among these farmers, whose manicured land shows the care of an agronomist who has planted shade trees that help withstand severe frosts, which have caused a lot of damage in the past crop year.

The Road to Coffee

As a registered agricultural technician, Hu's coffee career began with his work on rubber and tea plantations. In addition to tea tasting and evaluation, he also provides technical support in tree maintenance, soil balance and basic planting operations. Eventually, as a technician, he joined a company that was part of an early coffee planting plan in the region.

In 1996, after receiving seeds from the local government, he planted his first cup of coffee. Although a large number of these coffee trees died in the widespread frost that swept the region in 1999-2000, Hu continued his work. With intense curiosity and never giving up, he restarted about 165 acres of land. In 2003, he saw the fruits of his labor.
