Introduction of Yunnan Iron pickup Card

Later, I went to the village of Zhang Bao's younger brother in another mountain. Several hills nearby are coffee gardens in their village, but at present there are only two mu of old varieties in the village. Fortunately, this family still looks very healthy because of its good management, and it is still in the harvest period. I saw the ripe red fruit of coffee. After discussing with the owner, we decided to buy back 10 kilograms of raw beans and taste them. The fruits just picked at the end of last year are still preserved in the warehouse in the form of shell beans. The next morning we shelled and processed together. After shelling, there were 18.5 kilograms of raw beans of different sizes. There were many broken beans, adzuki beans and bad beans. After drying, there were still many defective beans, so we chose them by hand on the spot. After the final selection, there are still 9 kilograms of qualified ones left-- and by this time most of the morning has passed. 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 prone to leaf rust, and the yield per mu is relatively low, so corresponding to this, there are "new varieties".

The so-called new variety actually refers to catimor, which is a hybrid of timor and Arabica from 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 management and high yield, and its yield per mu is up to 350kg, which is more than twice that of the old variety.
