Arabica coffee is suitable for growing in the mountains of 800~1800 meters above sea level. If the altitude is too high, it tastes sour, and if it is too low, it tastes bitter. Arabica coffee is mostly planted in dry and hot valleys at an altitude of about 1100 meters, so the acidity is moderate, the aroma is rich and mellow. Many areas of Yunnan Province have unique environments suitable for the growth of Arabica coffee, and the Arabica coffee produced is of excellent quality.

Planting areas are mainly distributed in Lincang, Baoshan, Simao, Xishuangbanna, Dehong and other prefectures. Baoshan has an average temperature of 21.5℃ and a maximum temperature of 40.4℃. There is basically no frost all year round. It is recognized as the best producing area of Arabica coffee. The Arabica coffee cultivated here is famous for its strong but not bitter, fragrant but not strong, well-proportioned grain facets, mellow fragrance and fruity flavor. The International Coffee Organization's tasting experts rated Yunnan coffee as Colombia's wet-processed Arabica coffee, the highest quality coffee in the world.

Planting height:

For Arabica, 1200 is a watershed in quality. You will find that Hainan coffee, which almost no one talks about, has always been in the non-mainstream and can only be sold as a tourist souvenir. First, it is because it is Luo Dou, and second, because Hainan is located at sea level, most places are 300 meters below sea level. There are 1800 points in Wuzhishan in the middle, and only 320 in urban areas. Hainan can grow some souvenir coffee, for planting a good Arabica, it is really more than enough.

Since planting height is the basic factor, large mountainous areas in Yunnan can reach more than 1000 meters above sea level. Kunming is 1895 meters above sea level. Baoshan is 1653.5 meters above sea level. Dali is 1976 meters above sea level. Chuxiong is 1773 meters above sea level. Dehong has an average altitude of 800~1500 meters. Diqing has an average altitude of 3380 meters. The altitude is high, and then consider the temperature. In general, the golden coffee belt is between the north and south tropics, because the probability of frost is very high, and the coffee tree dies in case of frost. In Yunnan, there is a Gaoligong Mountain in the north of Baoshan, which blocks the influence of Siberian cold current in winter and forms a protective climate for coffee growth.

handling

Harvested berries are peeled to remove most of the pulp from the beans. The beans are then directed to a clean tank where they are soaked in water for fermentation to remove the remaining pulp layer. In the past (about five years ago), washing was often the preferred method of treating good coffee beans.

Through water treatment, immature beans and defective beans will be selected due to buoyancy, and the fermentation process is better controlled, so the flavor is not as messy as sun-baked beans, but presents a clear acid, slightly more complex and cleaner (without any negative flavor, such as astringency or sharpness) cup characteristics. But it is also because it is too "clean" and the richness of flavor is also slightly weaker.

Yunnan arabica coffee, rubiaceae, coffee, planting area is mainly distributed in Lincang, Baoshan, Simao, Xishuangbanna, Dehong and other prefectures. Arabica coffee is native to Ethiopia or the Arabian Peninsula.

Typica: The oldest indigenous variety of Ethiopia, native to Ethiopia and southeastern Sudan, from which all Arabica is derived. Elegant flavor, but weak constitution, poor disease resistance, fruit yield less. Jamaica Blue Mountain, Sumatra Mantning, Hawaii Kona and other excellent estate beans belong to Tibika. The top leaf of tibeka is red copper color, called red top coffee, tibeka belongs to arabica.

Coffee tree opposite leaves are long elliptic, leaf surface smooth, terminal branches are very long, few branches, and flowers are white, open at the base of petiole link branches. Mature coffee berries look like cherries, are bright red, sweet flesh, containing a pair of seeds, namely coffee beans (Coffee Beans).

Typica Typica is one of the oldest native varieties in Ethiopia. The top leaves of Typica are bronze, the beans are oval or thin and pointed; the flavor is elegant, but the constitution is weak, the disease resistance is poor, and the fruit yield is small.

Typica is one of the oldest varieties of Arabica coffee found today, the other being bourbon. The Arabica species originated in Ethiopia, where it still grows naturally today in the pristine rainforest upland. Java's tinplate card, a Dutch gift to Louis XIV of France, survived in Persian gardens and produced seeds that were brought to Martinique by the French in 1720.

Iron pickup bean slender, tall tree, fruit oval, branches slightly inclined. The iron pickup truck has slender limbs and is in an unfolded position with an inclination angle of 50 - 70 degrees. The coffee yield per tree is very low, but the cup score is high.
