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.

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

The climatic conditions of Yunnan are similar to those of Colombia, mostly at a high altitude of 800-1600 meters, which is conducive to the production of boutique coffee. After many cup tests and comparisons by SCAA experts, it is proved that the quality of coffee beans in Yunnan is comparable to that of coffee in high altitude areas of Central America.

Yunnan has superior geographical and climatic conditions.

Coffee trees are extremely picky about the environment in which they grow, and have certain requirements for sunshine and irrigation water quality. The most suitable areas for coffee planting and growth must have suitable temperature (annual average temperature: between 15-25 degrees), moderate rainfall (annual rainfall must reach 1500m ~ 2000mm, and can match the growth cycle of coffee), fertile soil, and good drainage.

Great potential for production capacity

By 2013, the planting area of coffee in Yunnan Province has reached 1.8 million mu, the output is about 90, 000 tons, and the agricultural output value is 1.563 billion yuan. At present, Yunnan coffee planting area and output account for more than 99% of the country's total coffee area and total output. Yunnan Province has become the largest coffee planting and export base in the country.

Pu'er coffee has a history of one hundred years. It began to be cultivated at the end of the 19th century and developed into industrialization in 1988. Now the planting area of coffee in the city has reached 767000 mu, making it the main coffee producing area and coffee trade distribution center with the largest planting area, the highest yield and the best quality in the mainland.

Pu'er Rong is known as the "coffee capital of China". In addition to becoming the main producing area of Chinese coffee, Pu'er coffee is also exported to more than 30 countries and regions, including the Americas, Europe and Asia, creating a new "black gold" market.

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!
