Qianjie-Katim variety introduction

Katim Catimor-- is its real name, and as Arabica beans, it has a pedigree of 1 gamma and 4 robusta. The height of the Katim coffee tree is nearly 2 meters.

There are a large number of plants in Pu'er, Dehong, Baoshan and Lincang areas of Yunnan, coupled with the small fruit of Katim, so it has the title of "Yunnan small-grain coffee". At first, it was not very popular, but today, with the continuous improvement of planting management, treatment and baking technology, Yunnan small-grain coffee has begun to enter the ranks of boutique coffee with a bright future!

Each kind of coffee has a different appearance, so there are differences between coffee trees. Some grow low and convenient to harvest, while others grow high and inconvenient to harvest. After careful observation of the Katim Coffee Tree, you will find that each variety has its own appearance. Katim's leaves hang down, and the tree seems to be wearing a cloak. Katim has round beans and a messy midline.

Fifty years ago, the coffee plants in Yunnan were mostly iron pickup and bourbon, and the varieties of iron pickup cultivated by Lujiang Farm and Xincheng Youth Farm in Baoshan also won the first place in the international coffee competition.

Later, due to economic benefits and other reasons, farmers changed to Katim. Although there are still farmers who insist on planting fine varieties, they cannot completely avoid genetic hybrids caused by natural causes.

But this does not mean that Yun Nian did not use good coffee, as a Katim species, you can also get good flavor raw beans through excellent planting and processing techniques, plus selection. As for the original species, the more well-known ones are Kaddura in Pu'erman 's Laojiang River, the tin card in Baihualing in the Lujiang River in Baoshan, and the bourbon in Lujiang, Baoshan. Especially resistant, there are old varieties at an altitude of 1800m.

High-altitude raw beans are Katim species. It is slightly thick and round, with a straight centerline, but it has a good flavor and inevitably has a bitter taste. I don't quite agree with it. Yunnan beans must be baked in medium-deep and medium-shallow baking, which may be more balanced than medium-to-deep bitterness. but also lost some of the unique flavor of Yunnan beans.

Knowledge: as early as 1892, a missionary from France brought coffee to Yunnan and successfully planted the first coffee tree in a place called Zhu Kula.

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.
