Introduction to the correct drinking method, price, taste and flavor of Yunnan small-grain coffee beans

How to drink coffee correctly

Recent studies have shown that coffee can increase cell sensitivity to insulin, enhance glucose metabolism, and help prevent diabetes. The Dutch Institute of Public Health says the more coffee you drink, the lower your risk of developing type 2 diabetes (adult diabetes). (Please don't bother me if you insist on sugar, thank you.) People who drink four cups of coffee a day have a 40% lower risk of gout.

Over the past 20 years, in-depth studies in Japan, the United States, and Europe have consistently found that the more coffee you drink, the less likely you are to develop liver cirrhosis or liver cancer. German scientists have revealed that espresso can also prevent colon cancer, confirming the role of antioxidants. Now the anti-cancer effect of coffee has been recognized by the academic community, instant coffee really bunkers! Is there anything?

about caffeine

Some friends say they like coffee aroma, but dare not drink it, drink palpitations, or can't sleep. That's right, that's what caffeine does. Caffeine sounds scary, but it's not heroin after all. The scientists calculated that caffeine does not exceed 300 mg per day. The benefits outweigh the disadvantages. It exceeds them from person to person. Everything in the world is too much. Pay attention.

There are two major varieties of coffee, one called Arabica, one called Robusta, Arabica flavor is good and expensive, Robusta flavor is poor and cheap, the two brothers also have a difference, Arabica caffeine content of 1.1-1.5%, Robusta caffeine content is as high as 3.2%. Robusta is everywhere in instant coffee and low-cost blended beans.

Coffee quality is determined by many factors such as the growing environment, climate and cultivation management techniques. Its best growth environment is low latitude, high altitude, rainfall, sunshine suitable, so north latitude 15. The ideal growth zone for coffee is between Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Cancer. However, other areas in this zone, such as Hawaii in the United States, Saudi Arabia, etc., or low altitude, or desert with little rain, are not conducive to coffee growth. Only southern Yunnan in this zone has all kinds of conditions. According to experts, Arabica coffee should be planted in the mountains at an altitude of 800~1800 meters. If the altitude is too high, it tastes sour, and if it is too low, it tastes bitter. Yunnan coffee is mostly planted in dry and hot valley areas at an altitude of 1100 meters, so the acidity is moderate, the flavor is rich and mellow. As far as climatic conditions are concerned, the long sunshine time in southern Yunnan is conducive to the growth and photosynthesis of plants, and the large temperature difference between day and night and the low temperature at night are conducive to the accumulation of coffee nutrients. Therefore, the effective nutrients contained in Yunnan Arabica coffee are higher than those of other coffee varieties abroad. Arabica coffee is susceptible to rust, and its yield and quality are greatly affected after rust. Yunnan hot zone due to dry and wet distinct, every year fresh fruit red ripening just into the dry season, low relative humidity, is not conducive to the formation and growth of blister rust. Because of the excellent quality of Yunnan coffee, it entered the London market in the 1960s as "Lujiang No.1" and was rated as a first-class product. In recent years, world-famous coffee companies such as Nestle and Mai's have come to Yunnan to open up raw material bases, and Yunnan's products have gradually gained popularity at home and abroad. At present, the average yield of coffee in Yunnan Province has reached 96.4 kg, and a family contracted land in Lujiang has set a world record of 400 kg. "I have seen countless coffee gardens in the world," said Steisos, a chief coffee expert of the United Nations Development Program, after visiting the coffee garden of Lujiang Farm."The management here is world-class and the yield is the highest."
