Qianjie-brief introduction of Coffee varieties in Yunnan

Yunnan has a very suitable diurnal temperature difference and high altitude and low latitude ecology, which are the unique growth environment needed for the growth of coffee beans, comparable to the top coffee producing areas in the world; coupled with Yunnan's abundant Rizhao and Rain Water, Lincang, Baoshan, Pu'er and Dehong are all important coffee production cities in Yunnan. It can be said that Yunnan is the only place where China is most suitable for large-scale production of world-class quality coffee.

Yunnan small-grain coffee is mostly planted in dry and hot valleys about 1100 meters above sea level, so it has a moderate sour taste, rich and mellow aroma. There is a unique environment suitable for the growth of small seed coffee in many areas of Yunnan, and the quality of small seed coffee is excellent. The planting areas are mainly distributed in Lincang, Baoshan, Simao, Xishuangbanna, Dehong, Nujiang and other states. The small-grain coffee cultivated here is famous at home and abroad for its strong but not bitter, fragrant but not strong, well-proportioned small noodles, mellow and fruity.

Typica and Bourbon, two classic high-quality coffee varieties, are the main coffee varieties in Yunnan. In 1991, Katimo Catimor series varieties were introduced from Kenya (with stronger anti-virus ability and higher yield). A variety of Arabian species (also known as small seed species). Because the morphology and habits of the two varieties are similar, the two varieties are mostly mixed.

Tibica coffee, native to Ethiopia and southeastern Sudan, is the most widely cultivated variety of coffee in the Western Hemisphere. The plant is stronger, but not light-tolerant, and the yield is higher in Hawaii. The top leaf of Tibika is red and copper, which is called red top coffee.

Bourbon coffee is a variety of small-grain coffee second only to Tibica. At first, the main branch and the trunk grew upward at 45 degrees, and drooped with fruit load, the lateral branches were denser, the fruit was more, and the yield was higher. But the berries are smaller and ripen more slowly. The top bud of Bobang is green, which is called green top coffee.

Katim Catimor is an improved variety of Tibika with a gene of 25% Robusta. The flavor is insipid and the bitterness is obvious.

Knowledge: coffee is a short-day plant. Coffee has the characteristics of multiple flowering and concentrated florescence.
