Yunnan Iron Card Coffee Bean Flavor Description Grinding Scale Treatment Quality Introduction

It is said that Yunnan originally from 50000 acres of old varieties of coffee trees, later reduced to 5000 acres, and now even 500 acres are not left, the old varieties really want to die out?

Additional: Occasionally, I saw that this article actually had more than 2000 hits. I was a little surprised. I looked back at this article written in 2012 for fear of misleading everyone because of what I saw. In fact, this article was only a situation five years ago and my feelings at that time. In the following years, I still went to Yunnan every year. The development of the origin was also better than that of a year. Interested friends please refer to the latest trip to Yunnan in 2016 and then go to another village of Zhang Bao's younger brother on a high mountain. Several nearby hills are coffee gardens in their village, but there are only two acres of old varieties left in the village at present. Fortunately, this house looks healthy because of its good management, and it is still in harvest period. I saw mature coffee red fruits. After discussing with the owner, we decided to buy back 10 kilograms of raw beans to taste. The fruits just picked at the end of last year are still preserved in the form of shelled beans in the warehouse. The next morning, we went to shell processing together. After shelling, it was 18.5 kilograms of raw beans. There were many broken beans, small beans and bad beans. After drying in the sun, there were still many defective beans. Therefore, we selected them manually on the spot. At last nine kilos remained-and most of the morning had passed. The new variety was catimor, a hybrid of the Robestar family timor and Arabica. It lacked rich aroma and taste compared with the old variety, and had a shallow grassy smell and earthy taste. However, its advantages were resistance to diseases and insect pests, ease of management, and high yield. Its yield per mu reached 350kg, which was more than twice that of the old variety.

Therefore, after Nestle successfully promoted high-yield new varieties in Pu 'er area in the 1990s, coffee farmers in Baoshan area also cut down old varieties and planted new varieties. With the expansion of coffee planting in a round, new varieties increased day by day, and old varieties decreased day by day. Finally, today's situation: old varieties were almost cut down, and the surviving ones were all "old, weak and sick". Most of them were over 20 years old. After a long time, the yield and quality were much lower than before.

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 find Yunnan specialty coffee, then the old variety Tiepi card because of its congenital excellent genes will become the first choice. Therefore, this trip to Yunnan, all the way is also following the old varieties of Fangxing line. But the reality is cruel. Before I went, Brother Zou told me that there was still an old variety in his relative's house. He rushed over excitedly and saw a wild coffee forest. This land belonged to his aunt's house. Because my aunt was too old to change the cultivation and renovation, these old varieties survived. However, my aunt could not manage it alone, so she let the tree grow naturally and picked some fruits when it matured.
