Yunnan Arabica Coffee Introduction

Yunnan Fine Coffee Bean

Coffee cultivation in China is concentrated in Yunnan Province and Hainan Province. Yunnan has a relatively large output, with an annual output of about 26,000 tons in recent years, accounting for 90% of the national output. Yunnan coffee is said to have been handed down by the French 70 or 80 years ago. The main production varieties are Arabica Arabica, the so-called small coffee species, commonly known as Yunnan small coffee in China. Yunnan's high-quality geographical climate conditions provide good conditions for coffee growth. The planting areas are Lincang, Baoshan, Simao, Xishuangbanna, Dehong and other prefectures. Yunnan natural conditions and Colombia are very similar, namely low latitude, high altitude, temperature difference between day and night, produced by cup quality analysis, coffee belongs to alcohol flavor, its quality taste similar to Colombia coffee.

However, due to various reasons, Yunnan coffee industry development speed is not fast, Yunnan coffee is mainly exported in the form of raw materials, exports in 2006 about 15,000 tons. More than 60% of the raw materials are purchased by Nestle and Max every year, and Starbucks and Amway have also joined the ranks of acquisitions in recent years.

Due to the lack of deep processing and marketing, Yunnan coffee has a low reputation and is locked in the mountains. It is believed that with the in-depth development of Yunnan coffee industry, the rising demand of domestic coffee market and the efforts of governments and enterprises, Yunnan coffee will usher in a new development period. Pu 'er, Xishuangbanna, Wenshan, Baoshan, Dehong and Lincang in the south and west of Yunnan are the distribution areas of Yunnan small coffee cultivation. As of January 1, 2012, according to the comprehensive survey of Yunnan Province, the coffee planting area in Yunnan has exceeded 800,000 mu, and it is expected that the coffee bean output will exceed 55,000 tons in this period. For the future, the blueprints of state governments in Yunnan have also been drawn: Dehong plans to expand the coffee planting area from the current 100,000 mu to 200,000 mu in the next few years; Lincang will expand the existing 20,000 mu coffee forest by 10 times to 200,000 mu in the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan"; Pu 'er also plans to expand the coffee forest from 220,000 mu to 600,000 mu. Other suitable coffee planting areas such as Baoshan and Xishuangbanna are also planning to expand the planting scale.

Dehong: It has the reputation of "the hometown of Chinese coffee". As of 2011, a total of 120,900 mu of coffee planting area has been developed in the whole prefecture, accounting for 30% of the coffee planting area in China. In the next three years, the coffee planting area in Dehong Prefecture will reach 200,000 mu. The coffee planting altitude in Dehong Prefecture is above 1000 meters, of which 30,000 mu is planted on the mountain area above 1600 meters above sea level. In addition, the coffee planted in Dehong Prefecture mainly uses organic fertilizer and organic pesticide, so the coffee produced is of high quality and is one of the rare high-quality coffee producing places in the world.

Baoshan: Baoshan coffee planting began in the mid-1950s, the first coffee seedlings were introduced from Southeast Asia by the late patriotic overseas Chinese Mr. Liang Jinshan. The local famous Lujiangba Arabica coffee is of excellent quality. As early as the late 1950s, it was rated first class in London, England. In recent years, with the expansion of international trade, Lujiangba Arabica coffee is more famous. Europe and America, Arab countries, especially Britain, the United States, Egypt, Hong Kong and Macao merchants are regarded as coffee top-grade, products in short supply. In December 2010, after examination by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of China, it was decided to implement the national geographical indication product protection for Baoshan Arabica Coffee. The west and south of Yunnan Province are located between 15° N and Tropic of Cancer. Most of the areas are between 1000 and 2000 meters above sea level. The terrain is mainly mountainous and sloping, with large fluctuations, fertile soil, abundant sunshine, abundant rainfall and large temperature difference between day and night. These unique natural conditions form the particularity of Yunnan Arabica coffee taste-strong but not bitter, fragrant but not strong, slightly fruity. As early as the 1950s, Yunnan Arabica coffee was very popular in the international coffee market and was rated as the top coffee.

The history of coffee cultivation in Yunnan dates back to 1892. A French missionary brought coffee seeds into Yunnan from abroad and planted them successfully in a valley in Binchuan County, Yunnan Province. More than 30 coffee plants bred from this batch of coffee seeds are still blooming in Binchuan County
