Qianjie-introduction of Coffee varieties in Yunnan

Yunnan, as the largest coffee producing area in China, Starbucks, Nestl é and other large coffee companies have smelled its great potential.

I believe that people who like to drink coffee have more or less heard of Yunnan coffee. This time I will tell you about the types, history, producing areas and stories of Yunnan coffee.

Yunnan coffee varieties

The coffee varieties in Yunnan are mainly cultivated by two classic high-quality coffee varieties, Typica and Bourbon.

In 1991, the Katim Catimor series of varieties (stronger anti-virus ability and higher yield) were introduced from Kenya, which is a variety of Arabica species (also known as small grain species). Because the morphology and habits of the two varieties are similar, the two varieties are mostly mixed.

Small seed coffee plant name Arabica species, is a kind of coffee, a total of more than 100 varieties.

Among them, tin pickup and bourbon are recognized as the best Arabica species in the world, and what the Baoshan people usually call "old varieties" are actually iron pickups and bourbon.

All the varieties planted in Pu'er area of Yunnan are catimor (Katim). In Baoshan City, typica and bourbon were introduced as early as the 1950s, and the locals called them "old varieties". Because the old varieties have low disease and insect resistance and yield, and the management is relatively expensive and manpower, coupled with the market purchase price does not have many advantages, brown farmers have changed to a new variety catimor in recent years.

From the botanical point of view of coffee, Yunnan small-grain coffee is genetically similar to the recognized best blue mountains in Jamaica (Jamaica Blue Mountain) and Kona in Hawaii.

Knowledge: Arabica coffee is generally thought to be originated from the Ethiopian plateau, widely distributed in the tropics, after repeated mutation and breeding, derived many varieties.

In short: Qianjie is a coffee research hall, happy to share the knowledge about coffee with you, we share unreservedly just to make more friends fall in love with coffee, and there will be three low-discount coffee activities every month. The reason is that Qianjie wants to make more friends drink the best coffee at the lowest price, which has been Qianjie's tenet for 6 years!
