Basic knowledge of boutique coffee Yunnan coffee varieties

At present, catimor is the most widely planted in Yunnan, and a small amount of typica,bourbon is planted in Baoshan. Although they all belong to Arabica species on a large scale, these varieties are very different in nature.

Iron pickup typica: the most classic high-quality Arabica species, many commercial improvements are derived from this. It has excellent taste and is recognized as a boutique coffee variety, but its yield is extremely low and it is vulnerable to rust.

Eclipse, need to invest more manpower management.

Bourbon bourbon: this variety is derived from the iron pickup and was expanded by the French in 1708 on the island of Bourbon (now known as Reunion). Bourbon also has a beautiful aroma and rich flavor, which is higher in yield and growth than iron pickup trucks. It is suitable for planting in an area of 1200 million meters, but it is less resistant to diseases and insect pests and is more sensitive to strong winds and heavy precipitation.

Catimorkatimo: Cartimo is not of pure Arabica ancestry. It is a hybrid of Timor (belonging to Roberta) and caturra (a variety of bourbon).

Cross, so catimor has 25% Roberta pedigree, and its Roberta pedigree also determines its taste defects: the aroma is not rich enough, and the overall taste is bitter, prone to astringency and more irritating mildew.

All the varieties planted in Pu'er area of Yunnan are catimor varieties. Typica and bourbon were introduced in Baoshan City as early as the 1950s, and the locals call them "old varieties", because the old varieties have low disease and insect resistance and yield, and the management costs manpower, coupled with the market.

There is not much advantage in the purchase price, and in recent years, brown farmers have changed to a new variety catimor.

The defect of variety restricts the quality of coffee in the first place.
