Aiyi Manor, Manzhong Tian Village, Simao District, Pu'er City, is located in the golden zone of coffee cultivation in the world, with a latitude, altitude, planting conditions and climate similar to that of the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. This gifted plateau rain forest along the Lancang River has been shrouded in clouds all the year round. It has persisted in sustainable ecological development and rainforest coffee cultivation for 30 years. In June 2015, it was awarded International Rainforest Certification and Union Certification. Starbucks Yunnan coffee experimental field is also chosen here.

In January 2016, Ambrose sent samples of the 33 new coffee varieties to the United States and asked the world coffee industry leader, former president of the American Fine Coffee Association (SCAA) and one of the founders of the Coffee quality Research Institute (CQI) TedLingle to test the cup. the cup test scores of the first five varieties were 84.25,84.5,85.5,87, and the one with the highest score was Rosa. At the same time, Aixing Group specially invited JeremyWakeford, a coffee master with 50 years of international cup testing experience, to Aiyi Manor from Europe to evaluate and evaluate these 33 varieties as a whole, as well as the cup test of the famous French coffee cup tester BBA, the results are highly consistent with Mr. Ted's cup test results.

"the shape of rose summer coffee beans is different from that of other coffee varieties. Rose summer beans are long in shape, larger than other beans and have a very special aroma." Liu Biao, vice president of Pu'er Coffee Association, said: in recent years, the Pu'er coffee industry has developed rapidly, and more and more new varieties have been planted in Pu'er, thanks to Pu'er 's special high-altitude and low-latitude growing environment. At present, the coffee variety planted in Yunnan is Katim, but the quality of Katim grown in Yunnan is better than that of other countries. Aili Manor has such great courage to successfully introduce Rose Summer from Panama to Pu'er, and it has been well evaluated by foreign experts, which is very gratifying for the development of the whole industry.

The florescence of small seed coffee in Yunnan is from February to July, and the flowering period is from March to May. The flowering of coffee is greatly affected by climate, especially rainfall and temperature. Coffee flowers have a short life span of only 2-3 days. Small seed coffee usually opens at 3: 5 in the morning and blooms from 5 to 7 o'clock.

The development time of coffee fruit is longer. It takes 8 to 10 months for the fruit of small seed coffee to mature, usually from October to December of the year. Rainfall has a great influence on fruit development, and climatic conditions directly affect fruit development.

Along the way, most of the varieties planted in Yunnan are Katim, which is a hybrid of Kaddura and Robusta, a branch of the bourbon line in the Arabica species. The reason for planting this variety is that Katim has the Robusta gene, so it is better than a single old variety in disease resistance, and the yield is better, and the yield is lower than that of the delicate old variety. Farmers naturally prefer to grow Katim, so now there has been a wave of Katim in Yunnan.
