Yunnan Coffee and Chinese Coffee Market
Coffee trees need high altitudes, tropical climates, and fertile soil to grow the best coffee beans. Such climatic conditions on the earth around the equator, probably between 25 degrees north latitude-30 degrees south latitude, this zone, generally known as the golden coffee belt, belongs to the tropical and subtropical regions, professional terminology called "coffee belt."
Let's talk about coffee in China first. According to the above definition, although China has a large territory and abundant resources, there are not many places where coffee can be grown. Apart from Hainan and Taiwan, parts of Yunnan, Guangdong and Guangxi, and the southern mountainous areas of Fujian, agriculture is also a habit, so there is no soil for coffee in the land under the small-scale peasant economy. Although many publicity materials now say where coffee is grown and how much coffee is produced. Strictly speaking, the domestic coffee industry is basically blank and almost can not be blank again.
To say coffee in China, we must first say coffee in Yunnan. Overseas coffee development has experienced three waves of instant coffee, Starbucks and fine coffee in World War II, but China's coffee development has experienced four waves.
Coffee in Yunnan began in 1892. French priest Tian De wanted to drink coffee but could not get it. So he brought some coffee seeds to the church of Zhukula Village Committee in Pingchuan Town, Binchuan, Dali, and began to plant the first coffee in China. Unfortunately, because of inconvenient transportation, coffee did not flow to more places at that time. Fortunately, because of inconvenient transportation, more than 1000 bourbon and tibeka trees were lucky to be handed down after more than 100 years. Two years ago, I heard that people in the coffee industry would start to go on pilgrimage. I think it should not be far from destroying it. Zhukula Village has been self-planting and self-baking for one hundred years. It should also be the dream of young people on the Bund of Shanghai after making money. There is coffee but no red, nothing strange in Yunnan.
Then, several decades later, in the middle and late stages of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Yunnan became the rear area. A large number of wealthy overseas Chinese from Southeast Asia brought their anti-Japanese ideals and coffee to Yunnan. After finishing production and work, they went to coffee shops. Some Wen Qing wrote a poem for the beautiful Vietnamese shop owner,"The old country is sad, the southern Xinjiang is lazy to make up, the eyebrows are condensed and tears are turned around, the worries are facing the world, and there is no language to talk about vicissitudes." The coffee culture of this series is a bit special, that is, adding something else while frying coffee, such as cream (and later a branch of white coffee). Overseas Chinese in Malaysia are idealists. If they have some money, they should do something for this country, otherwise they will feel sorry for their ancestors. Later, in the early 1950s, this group of idealists went to Hainan Xinglong, another coffee-producing place in China, because Zhou Enlai said that the coffee in this place was better than that in other places, deceiving Hainan people who were full of ideals and then planted coffee for decades. Anyway, although the result is not very good, at least this stage let the Chinese know that we can actually grow coffee.
Ten years ago, people started calling Yunnan coffee Arabica coffee, a hybrid of Arabica called katim, originally introduced to China by Nestle. Katim is not a variety with obvious style. Nestle sells commodities rather than characteristics, so Katim, which has good rust resistance and bad taste, has been vigorously promoted in Yunnan, and until today, Yunnan coffee prices are still subject to Nestle. On the other side of the Pacific Ocean, the same coffee variety was promoted and named Colombia. Coffee trees all over the world were sick, but Colombia achieved the second largest coffee industry in the world with this variety alone. It is said that people have different lives. It turns out that the same tree can also have different lives. Yunnan, Hainan, Vietnam, these three south is still in the edge of coffee in the old era of reflection stage. Another branch of the story is that the Taiwanese introduced Yunnan species to Alishan. After several years of hard work, last year's Fine Coffee Cup won the middle-aged year award. Last year, it ranked eighth in the world and the top in Asia.
When coffee is the same all over the world, you need to find something different.
