Introduction to the Variety characteristics of Katim Coffee Bean Flavor description treatment in Yunnan Province

Yunnan coffee developed from the earliest "iron card" series, "Katim" series and "Arabica" series into a high-quality variety of Yunnan small-grain coffee recognized by the world today, which laid the foundation for the localization of Chinese coffee. Yunnan small-grain coffee has been rated as a class of products by the International Coffee Organization (ico), and its quality is similar to that of Colombian small-grain coffee. In 1985, the small grain coffee planted in Baoshan Lujiangba won the honorary certificate of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation and won the laudatory name of "Lujiang No.1" at the Canton Fair. Yunnan coffee, represented by Baoshan Lujiang small grain coffee, became famous in the world. Yunnan small grain coffee has become the brand of Yunnan coffee. Coffee originated in Africa and was first planted in Taiwan in 1884 in China. It was introduced and planted in Yunnan in 1908. In 1914, coffee was planted as an ornamental plant in front and behind the house of the Jingpo nationality in Nongxian Village, Ruili County. After 1950, the coffee planting area in Yunnan expanded to Yingjiang, Longchuan, Ruili, Luxi, Baoshan, Jinghong, Binchuan, Dayao and Yuxi Xinping. At that time, it was mainly exported to the former Soviet Union and the former socialist countries in Eastern Europe. Later, the planting area continued to expand, and the market gradually recognized the coffee from Yunnan-Yunnan coffee.

The new leaves at the tips of the branches and leaves above are copper, which is Tiebika growing coffee trees. Tibica is an old variety of Arabica species. It is also known as Kona Hawaii and the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. In the vast expanse of Katim, it is easy to recognize. After careful observation, you will find that each species has its own appearance, Katim's leaves are hanging down, the tree shape seems to be wearing a cloak. Tiebika, on the other hand, has upward branches and new leaves on the top of the tree.

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 Katim style in Yunnan.
