Flavor description of Yunnan Tieka Coffee Bean introduction to the characteristics of varieties produced in the manor area

Introduction of Yunnan Iron pickup Coffee beans

The so-called new variety actually refers to catimor (Katimo), which is the hybrid of timor and Arabica of the Roberta family. Compared with the old variety, it lacks rich aroma and taste, and has a relatively shallow smell of grass and soil, but it has the advantages of resistance to diseases and insect pests, easy to manage, large yield, and its yield per mu can reach up to 350kg raw beans, which is more than twice that of the old variety.

So when Nestl é succeeded in promoting high-yield new varieties in Pu'er in the 1990s, brown farmers in Baoshan also cut down old varieties and changed them to new ones. With a round of coffee expansion, new varieties are increasing and old varieties are decreasing day by day. Finally, today's situation: the old varieties have almost been cut down, and the little ones that survived are all "old, weak, sick and disabled". Most of the trees are more than 20 years old. Over the years, the output and quality are not as good as they used to be.

Of course, if it is used to make instant coffee or general commercial beans, high-yield catimor is a good choice, but if you want to look for Yunnan specialty coffee, then the old variety of iron pickup has become the first choice because of its congenital excellent genes. Therefore, this trip to Yunnan also followed the trail of the old varieties. But the reality is really cruel. Before going, Brother Zou told me that there was an old variety in his relative's house, but what he saw excitedly was a crazy growing coffee forest, which belonged to his aunt because his aunt was not old enough to plant and renovate-- so these old varieties survived, but the aunt was unable to manage it alone, so he left the tree to grow naturally and pick some fruit when it matured to trace its roots. Typica, which originated from Ethiopia, is the earliest original species of coffee. Bourbon is a variety of typica. Both of them have rich aroma and excellent taste performance, and they also belong to very high quality varieties in Arabica. It is said that the coffee tree species that was first introduced into Zhukula in Yunnan is typica. When coffee was planted on a large scale in Baoshan area in the 1950s, it was also typica and bourbon. But the problem is that although these two varieties have excellent taste, they are not resistant to diseases and insect pests, are susceptible to leaf rust, and the yield per mu is relatively low, so corresponding to this, there are "new varieties".
