Introduction to the characteristics of Yunnan Tieka Coffee Flavor Flavor Manor

Typica and Bourbon, two classic high-quality coffee varieties, are the main coffee varieties in Yunnan. In 1991, Katimo Catimor series varieties were introduced from Kenya (with stronger anti-virus ability and higher yield). A variety of Arabian species (also known as small seed species). Because the morphology and habits of the two varieties are similar, the two varieties are mostly mixed.

Tibica coffee, native to Ethiopia and southeastern Sudan, is the most widely cultivated variety of coffee in the Western Hemisphere. The plant is stronger, but not light-tolerant, and the yield is higher in Hawaii. The top leaf of Tibika is red and copper, which is called red top coffee.

Bourbon coffee is a variety of small-grain coffee second only to Tibica. At first, the main branch and the trunk grew upward at 45 degrees, and drooped with fruit load, the lateral branches were denser, the fruit was more, and the yield was higher. But the berries are smaller and ripen more slowly. The top bud of Bobang is green, which is called green top coffee.

Catimor is an improved variety of Tiebika, with 25% Robusta gene.

According to reports, in 1892, French missionary Father Tian used coffee fruit to breed the first coffee tree outside the church, and then cultivated more coffee trees and planted them around the church. Since then, the village of Zhukula began to grow coffee, and the village has been surrounded by coffee trees ever since. Qi Guanghui and Li Fusheng, the two oldest elders in the village, are both in their eighties this year, and together they have witnessed the formation of the oldest coffee forest in China.

Although Zhu Kula is poor and backward, it has an inextricable bond with coffee. In addition to growing coffee all over the country, the villagers all have a tradition of drinking coffee: self-growing, self-grinding and self-brewing, and now men, women and children in the village have the habit of drinking coffee. The villagers here have a special feeling for the coffee tree, even if the coffee beans do not bring them any economic benefits, the villagers are not willing to cut down a coffee tree.

Zhukula Village receives guests with local coffee and walnuts, although the coffee made from earthen cans is not the best, but this primitive drinking method reflects the love of coffee among Zhukula villagers and is the highest etiquette reception for guests. The unique and rich original coffee culture makes everyone who knows Zhu Kula have to sigh that it is worthy of the first coffee village in China.

If the altitude is too high, it will taste sour, and if it is too low, it will taste bitter. Small grains of coffee are mostly planted in dry and hot valleys about 1100 meters above sea level, so they are moderately sour, rich and mellow. There is a unique environment suitable for the growth of small seed coffee in many areas of Yunnan, and the quality of small seed coffee is excellent.

The planting areas are mainly distributed in Lincang, Baoshan, Simao, Xishuangbanna, Dehong, Nujiang and other states.

The average temperature of Lujiangba in Baoshan is 21.5℃, and the highest is 40.4 ℃, which is basically frost-free all the year round. It is recognized as the best producing area of small-grain coffee. The small-grain coffee cultivated here is famous at home and abroad for its strong but not bitter, fragrant but not strong, well-proportioned small noodles, mellow and fruity.

In recent years, the planting area of small-grain coffee in other producing areas of Yunnan has been expanding, the quality has also made great progress, and the popularity of small-grain coffee has been improved both at home and abroad.

After inspecting the coffee planting and primary processing base in Yunnan, the tasting experts of the International Coffee Organization rated Yunnan coffee as the kind of small seed coffee processed by Colombian wet processing, which is the highest quality coffee in the world.
