Qianjie-brief introduction of Yunnan Katim Coffee

Arabica coffee (Arabica) is a famous coffee variety in the world, which is called small grain coffee. Derived from the wild coffee produced in Ethiopia in Africa, it was introduced into Europe through Arabia and got its name. It was introduced into Zhu Kula, Binchuan County, Dali, China in the 1890s and has been rooted in Chinese mainland ever since. Yunnan has also become the representative of Chinese coffee, so Yunnan coffee is also known as "Yunnan small grain coffee".

Why southern Yunnan is suitable for coffee cultivation, because it is located in the area of low latitude, high altitude and large temperature difference between day and night, with such unique natural advantages, it is especially suitable for the growth of small-grain coffee, and it is the producing area of high-quality coffee in the country. Yunnan coffee is mostly grown in dry and hot valleys at an altitude of 1000, 000 and 2000 meters above sea level, so it is moderately sour, rich and mellow. The careless actions of French missionaries have found a beautiful "home" for coffee trees that are very comfortable and suitable for their growth.

Katim (catimor)

The Katim coffee variety is developed by the Portuguese International Coffee Rust Research Center (CIFC) using Caturra19/IXHDT832/l (HW26) and Caturra19/IXHDT832/2 (H. 6) the general name of the hybrids cultivated has been distributed in most coffee producing countries, and further breeding and adaptability studies have been made, and many different generations of Catimor hybrids and Can-mor derived species have been introduced. Some of them showed good botanical characteristics and were resistant to known rust races, while others were only used as breeding materials. Among the coffee grown in Yunnan, Catimor is the main variety, which has a large planting scale and area.

More than 99% of Yunnan is Katim species, which has a small number of Robusta genes, has strong insect resistance and disease resistance, and has a slightly weaker flavor than Arabica beans.

Yunnan small grain coffee taste smooth, full-bodied, with soft acidity and sweetness, with a hint of tea, fruit and chocolate aromas.

At the National Coffee Conference in 1980, Baoshan small Coffee in Yunnan was praised as "the top coffee in the country". In 1992, at the first China Agricultural Expo, Baoshan small Coffee was awarded the highest Silver Award. In 1993, it won the Eureka Gold Award at the 42nd Brussels Eureka Fair in Belgium.

With a coffee planting area of 650000 mu, Pu'er has become the main coffee producing area and the main distribution center of coffee trade with the largest area, the highest yield and the best quality in China.
