Qianjie-Yunnan Coffee Origin Introduction

In the past, Yunnan coffee was mostly used for instant coffee because of its poor quality, which also led to the reputation of Yunnan coffee has not been very good, but in recent years Yunnan coffee is like a black horse, slowly appearing in the fine coffee market.

History of coffee cultivation in Yunnan

Dating back to 1892, when a French missionary brought coffee seeds into Yunnan from abroad and successfully planted the first coffee tree in a place called Zhukula, he might not have thought that coffee would become a highlight of Yunnan plateau characteristic agriculture a hundred years later.

After 1930, Mr. Liang Jinshan, a famous overseas Chinese leader, brought coffee to Pupiao and Luoming for planting, which lasted until the founding of New China. After 1952, under the guidance of experts from Baoshan Thermal Economics Institute, coffee began to be planted in large quantities in Lujiang and other places. The history of large-scale cultivation has been nearly 60 years.

By the end of 1997, the province's coffee planting area had reached 7800 hectares. At present, the province's planting area accounts for 70% of the country's area, and its output accounts for 83% of the country's total. Whether it is from the planting area or coffee bean output, Yunnan coffee has established its dominant position in China.

Common international classification standards:

According to the size of the coffee beans, the classification is carried out by using a round hole classification sieve. The international custom of Arabica coffee size has 10-20 grades, the number used is to represent the sieve aperture with the number as the numerator, 64 as the denominator fraction, the unit is inches. For example, 14 refers to green coffee beans that can pass through a screen with a pore size of more than 14/64 inches, and 19 refers to green coffee beans that can pass through a screen with a pore size of more than 19/64 inches. (1 inch ≈2.54 cm)

Yunnan coffee planting is mainly distributed in Lincang, Baoshan, Pu 'er and Dehong, where there are natural resources with low latitude, high altitude and large temperature difference between day and night, making Yunnan a golden planting area for producing Arabica (Arabica) coffee of high quality.

Knowledge point: Arabica coffee is believed to originate from the Ethiopian plateau and is widely distributed in tropical regions. After repeated mutation and breeding, many varieties have been derived.
