Qianjie-introduction to Yunnan Coffee

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. As early as the 1950s, Yunnan small seed coffee was very popular in the international coffee market and was rated as the top grade of coffee.

The history of coffee cultivation in Yunnan can be traced back to 1892. A French missionary brought coffee to Yunnan from abroad and successfully planted it in a valley in Binchuan County, Yunnan Province. The coffee plants of this batch of coffee seeds are still blooming and bearing fruit in Binchuan County.

Yunnan coffee was planted on a large scale in the mid-1950s, with a planting scale of 4000 hectares at one time. By the end of 1997, the planting area of coffee in the province had reached 7800 hectares. At present, the planting area of the province accounts for 70% of the national area, and the output accounts for 83% of the whole country. Yunnan coffee has established the dominant position in China in terms of planting area and coffee bean production.

The suitable planting areas of coffee in Yunnan are distributed in Simao, Banna, Wenshan, Baoshan and Dehong in the south and southwest of Yunnan.

Yunnan Organic Iron pickup Coffee is the oldest variety in Yunnan. In 2011-12, the annual output of the bean in Yunnan was only 30, 000 tons, which is very rare. More than 15 mesh, altitude: 1200 meters above, fruit acidity: strong, characteristics: fresh coffee in this season raw beans, mellow, delicate and lubricated taste, good acidity and personality. Growing on Gaoligong Mountain in Lujiangba, Baoshan, Yunnan Province, natural high-quality coffee uses a variety of natural technologies to ensure the growth of coffee trees, because the natural ecological environment is the goal of organic coffee consumers.

"Yunnan small-grain coffee-fragrant but not bitter, strong but not strong", so many people classify the varieties of Yunnan coffee as "small-grain species". Naturally, the taste of Yunnan coffee is "fragrant but not bitter, strong but not strong".

Regardless of whether it is correct or not, there is no word "small seed" among the more than 900 named coffee varieties at present, so this "small seed" is not strictly a coffee variety, it is just a nickname given to this variety by the people of Yunnan. In fact, the name of Yunnan "small grain coffee" should be called arabica--typica (Arabica-iron pickup). Or arabica--bourbon (Arabica-bourbon).

Knowledge: Ethiopia is in the position of meta-ancestor in the coffee industry, is the birthplace of Arabica beans (Arabica), and is currently the largest Arabica producer in Africa. The Kaffa forest in Ethiopia is more known as the "coffee gene bank".
