Yunnan Baoshan coffee producing area

Yunnan Arabica coffee suitable for growth in the mountains 800--1800 meters above sea level, if the altitude is too high, sour taste, too low taste 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 wet-processed Arabica coffee, the highest quality coffee in the world.

Arabica varieties

At present, the main coffee varieties cultivated in Yunnan are katim, iron pickup, bourbon, kadura, kaduai and so on. But almost all you see on the market is katim. So now Yunnan Arabica coffee refers to Yunnan katim.

In 1959, the Portugal moved the Brazilian bourbon mutant Kadura to East Timor and interbred it with Timtimor, which had a Robusta lineage, and succeeded in breeding Katim with disease resistance and super productivity. As leaf rust afflicts coffee producing countries worldwide, katim is being promoted to combat leaf rust and improve productivity with the assistance of international organizations.

Coffee bean processing

Because of the perennial rainy season and unstable climate, most of Yunnan's coffee beans are treated by washing coffee beans.

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 preparing good coffee beans.

Through water treatment, immature beans and defective beans are selected due to buoyancy, and the fermentation process is better controlled, so the flavor is not as messy as sun-baked beans, but presents obvious acidity, slightly more complexity and cleaner cup characteristics (no negative flavor, such as astringency or sharpness). However, it is also because it is too "clean" and the richness of flavor is slightly weaker.
