Qianjie-brief introduction of Coffee varieties in Yunnan

Yunnan is the seventh largest producer of Arabica coffee in the world (harvest in 2017). The main varieties in Yunnan are Katim, a hybrid of Kaddura and Tim. Full-washed Catimor has attracted much attention because of its soft tonality, good taste and sweetness.

Coffee trees are extremely picky about the environment in which they grow, and have certain requirements for sunshine and irrigation water quality. The most suitable areas for coffee planting and growth must have suitable temperature (annual average temperature: between 15-25 degrees), moderate rainfall (annual rainfall must reach 1500m ~ 2000mm, and can match the growth cycle of coffee), fertile soil, and good drainage.

The two classic high-quality coffee varieties, Tieka and Bobang, are the main varieties of coffee in Yunnan. In 1991, Yunnan introduced Katim varieties from Kenya, which have stronger anti-virus ability and higher yield. At present, the Katim series is the most widely planted in Yunnan, while there are a small number of iron pickups and Borneo plants in Baoshan.

Typica is the most classic high-quality Arabica species, and the world-famous Blue Mountain Coffee and Mocha Coffee are almost all Arabica species. Tieka Coffee, native to Ethiopia and southeastern Sudan, is the most widely cultivated variety of coffee in the Western Hemisphere.

Bourbon, a variety derived from the iron pickup, was expanded by the French in 1708 on the island of Bourbon (now known as Reunion). Bourbon also has a beautiful aroma and rich flavor, higher than iron pickup in yield and growth, suitable for planting in the area of 1200-2000 meters. Bourbon coffee is a variety of small-grain coffee second only to iron pickup.

Catimor small seed coffee belongs to the high generation variety of Katim. Katim is not pure Arabica, it is a hybrid of Timor (which belongs to Robusta) and caturra (a variety of Bobang), so catimor has 25% Robusta.

Knowledge: iron pickup old variety, good flavor, good taste, obvious aroma, but weak disease resistance
