Current situation of Coffee in China Coffee growing Environment in Yunnan

The western and southern parts of Yunnan Province are located between 15o N and the Tropic of Cancer, most of which are 1000-2000 m above sea level. The topography is dominated by mountains and slopes, with large undulation, fertile soil, sufficient sunshine, rich rainfall and large temperature difference between day and night. These unique natural conditions form the flavor characteristics of Yunnan Arabica coffee-- balanced aroma and moderate acidity. The coffee planting area in Yunnan is very wide, mainly in Pu'er, Jinghong, Wenshan, Baoshan, Dehong and other places in the south and southwest.

Baoshan, Dehong and other areas along the Yunnan-Burma Highway looked at the graceful coffee trees on both sides of the road. In particular, Pu'er City, which is located on the Tropic of Cancer, has an area of 45000 square kilometers, a hot area of more than 50%, and a forest coverage rate of more than 67%. It has increasingly become the main coffee producing area and coffee trade distribution center with the largest planting area and the highest output in China. (excerpt from)
