Qianjie-introduction of Yunnan Baoshan Coffee

The origin of Baoshan Coffee is related to Liang Jinshan, a patriotic overseas Chinese. He was the first to introduce coffee to Baoshan. In 1952, Mr. Ma Xijin of the Tropical and Subtropical Economic crops Research Institute of Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences introduced Arabica coffee grown in Chaofang area of Dehong Prefecture to Lujiang Dam in Baoshan. In 1955, Baoshan began to introduce small-grain coffee on a large scale. Lujiang Farm is the experimental base at that time, and today it has become a famous ten thousand mu coffee garden.

Apart from altitude, what other advantages does Baoshan have to make its coffee stand out, comparable to Jamaica's Blue Mountain Coffee, and rise to the ranks of international top quality products? Coffee is the product of the equator to latitude 25 degrees north and south. Baoshan is located between 24 °08 °N and 25 °51'N, which happens to be in the coffee growing zone.

The producing area of Baoshan small grain coffee has the climatic characteristics of dry and hot valley: obvious dry and wet season, the same period of rain and heat, no severe cold in winter and no heat in summer; October to April is the dry season, the humidity is small, the cloud cover is less, the sunny day is more, the daytime temperature is high, the temperature difference between day and night is large; from May to September is the wet season, the water vapor is more, the cloud cover is heavy, the cloudy day is more, the daytime temperature is not high, and the temperature difference between day and night is not big. This special climatic condition is very conducive to the growth of coffee.

Baoshan began to grow coffee on a large scale in 1952 and has a history of more than 60 years. To sum up, the production of good coffee in Baoshan is the result of altitude, geographical location, climate and planting management experience. Of course, it also includes soil, environment and other factors.

Coffee trees blossom every March. This flowering refers to the picked coffee trees, which are concentrated at low elevations. The high-altitude coffee harvest in March is still under way. After flowering, about six or seven months later, the coffee fruit ripens gradually. The harvest period begins in October and ends at the end of April of the following year. November and December are the golden picking season every year. Coffee is picked from the inside out, and the fruit can not be picked off, otherwise this position will not bear fruit in the next year.

Baoshan mainly grows varieties of coffee such as Ironka, Bobang and Katim. Ironka and Bobang belong to small-grain Arabica. Katim is the medium seed of the cross between Arabica and Robusta. The ability of the iron pickup to resist diseases and insect pests and drought is poor, and those who leave dead coffee fruits on the treetops are the iron card seeds. By contrast, Katim looks more exuberant, and the leaves on the treetops have not fallen off, so there is generally no sign of death.

Baoshan coffee mainly uses three ways: washing, honey treatment and sun exposure.
