Crazy coffee grower-Mr. Zhang Hongjun

Yesterday afternoon, we did a cup test of twelve varieties of coffee harvested this year in Yunnan.

Among them, there are South American series and African series, most of which are washed and tanned.

The grower is a coffee madman who loves coffee madly. Mr. Zhang, an old educated youth in Shanghai who cut in line in Yunnan at the age of 16, (man in black)

More than a decade ago, Mr. Zhang began to grow coffee at an altitude of 700 to 800 meters in Yunnan.

However, the coffee planted three or four years later didn't taste good, so he gave up the land.

We began to replant coffee at an altitude of 1,400 to 500 meters.

Another good coffee that tastes great after three or four years.

It has a slightly fruity orange flavor peculiar to Ethiopian coffee.

The taste has the mellow taste that Yunnan coffee does not have.

For this reason, I bought all the good coffee grown by Mr. Zhang and exported some of it to Japan.

Mr. Zhang's products are also launched simultaneously in the Chinese market.

It has also been sought after by consumers in Shanghai Jialumeng Cafe.

However, due to problems in cooperation with farmers and growers

Old Mr. Zhang had to re-contract a piece of more than 500 mu of barren mountains nearby and began a new reclamation.

When I watched Lao Zhang level this wild mountain with a small excavator, I completely lost my confidence.

"Wow, this is for the foolish man to move the mountain!"

When Lao Zhang talked about living in a leaky bamboo shed on the mountain, his head was hurt by the mountain wind.

I feel very sad. What Lao Zhang has done is not something that an ordinary person can do.

Instead, it should be done by agricultural research institutes with R & D funds from state institutions or enterprises with certain economic strength.

When Lao Zhang was not afraid of the failure of planting many times and threw the last bit of his fortune into this barren mountain.

I was moved by Lao Zhang's lover and his son's silent support to Lao Zhang.

Although there are a lot of complaints, it is still silently supporting Lao Zhang to develop Yunnan's boutique coffee!

You know, Lao Zhang can live a rich retirement life.

And Lao Zhang grew up in Gao'an Road, Hengshan Road, Shanghai, in his childhood and adolescence.

As you may know, that place is still a connotative high-end area of Shanghai.

This may also be the reason why Lao Zhang has a strong belief in boutique coffee.

Last year, when I went to buy raw coffee beans in Pu'er, Yunnan Province, I specially went to see Lao Zhang.

I also went to the once barren mountains and now the lush coffee gardens planted with various varieties.

When Lao Zhang took me around and looked at all kinds of coffee trees, he proudly said, "look!" How beautiful it is! " Hour

As excited and happy as showing off the woman you love.

Back at the foot of the mountain, I jokingly said to Lao Zhang's lover: I met Lao Zhang's mistress today.

Lao Zhang's lover replied, "he is crazy."

Yes, Lao Zhang is a "madman", a coffee madman who loves coffee madly!

This time, one of the 12 kinds of coffee sent by Lao Zhang has a great flavor and taste.

There is also a SL34 that is also good, with bright and soft acid.
