Qianjie-Asian Coffee producing area brief introduction of Yunnan Coffee producing area

Coffee originated in tropical Africa. Arabica coffee (Arabica) originated in Ethiopia and South Sudan, while Robusta coffee came from West Africa. About 1000 years ago, Arabs were the first people to use coffee fruits in historical records. In the 17th century, coffee shops sprang up in Western Europe, and Europeans began to drink coffee, followed by colonial expansion. The Dutch brought coffee beans to Indonesia in Asia to grow coffee, while the Caribbean and South American colonies began to grow coffee in the early 18th century. Coffee in the world is mainly grown in the tropical or subtropical regions or islands of Central and South America, Africa and Asia. The coffee growing belt centered on the equator is the so-called coffee belt.

The western and southern parts of Yunnan Province are located between 15 °N and the Tropic of Cancer, and most areas are 1000-2000 meters above sea level. The topography is dominated by mountains and slopes, with large ups and downs, fertile soil, sufficient sunshine, rich rainfall and large temperature difference between day and night. These unique natural conditions form the particularity of Yunnan small grain coffee taste-strong but not bitter, fragrant but not strong, slightly fruity.

The main coffee growing areas in Yunnan are Lincang, Baoshan, Dehong and Pu'er. Coffee beans produced in these areas are mainly exported to South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, the United States, Hong Kong, Taiwan and several European countries.

Lincang

Lincang City is located in the southwest of Yunnan Province, with the Tropic of Cancer running through the south, Pu'er in the east, Dali in the north, Baoshan in the west, and Myanmar in the southwest. It is a bright pearl in the southwest of the motherland because it is close to the Lancang River. The annual average temperature in Lincang is between 16.8 ℃ and 17.2℃. The dry and wet season is obvious and the sunshine is sufficient.

Dehong Prefecture

The birthplace of coffee in China, the area is 1000 to 1600 meters above sea level, covering an area of 2000 hectares of coffee plantations. More importantly, most coffee is grown here organically, making it one of the best in the world.

The Pu'er coffee industry has 70 registered enterprises, 30, 000 households and a population of about 1 million. Pu'er tea is known as the "city of millennium tea". It is an important coffee producing area in China, with the largest planting area, the highest output and the best quality. it is also an important distribution center of international coffee business.

Baoshan

Small Coffee is the most famous coffee in Baoshan. It took the first step in the late 1950s and soon received positive feedback from London.

In December 2010, Baoshan small Coffee obtained A-level certification and passed the process of China's National Standards Administration, which is considered to reflect China's national geographical indication products.

Knowledge expansion: although Yunnan has been growing coffee for many years, it is still not mature enough. Its grading system is also relatively messy.
