Qianjie-introduction to Yunnan small Coffee

Catimor is not a pure Arabica blood, it is a hybrid of Timor and bourbon. Compared with the old variety, it lacks rich aroma and taste, and has a relatively shallow smell of grass and soil, but its advantage lies in resistance to diseases and insect pests, easy to manage, high yield, and its yield per mu can reach 350kg raw bean, which is more than twice that of the old variety. Now it has become the main cultivated variety in Yunnan coffee producing area.

Katim, a hybrid of Timo and Kaddura, was developed in 1959 by the Portuguese Coffee Leaf Rust Research Center (CIFC). Its research direction is disease resistance and high yield.

Catimor has high yield, short plant, dense planting and red-brown new leaves.

The robusta gene inherited from timor makes catimor more resistant to coffee berry disease, coffee leaf rust and insect pests, but it is often criticized for its performance in the cup.

Catimor fruit ripens quickly and has high yield, which requires adequate fertilizer supply and shading. In addition, the high yield of catimor corresponds to a relatively shorter commercial life, with an average of only ten years.

When growing at low altitude, the cup performance of catimor has no obvious advantages and disadvantages compared with other commercial varieties. When planted above 1200 meters above sea level, the flavor of catimor cup is obviously inferior to that of bourbon, caturra and catuai.

Catimor was first developed in 1959 and was popularized in Brazil in the 1970s and 1980s. With disease resistance and high yield, it occupies a place in Central and South American coffee varieties. The occasional outbreak of coffee leaf rust crisis in Central and South America has also contributed to the application of catimor. Katim has an oval shape and a straight centerline.

Knowledge: in 1892, French missionary Father Tian successfully planted coffee in a place called Zhukula in Yunnan, where there are still 4 coffee plants that are more than 90 years old.

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.
