In Yunnan, where Katim Coffee varieties are grown, what makes Iron pickup Coffee varieties the "main force" of Qianjie Coffee Farm? How many coffee trees can be planted and how many coffee fruits can one mu produce? The front street of this article will answer one by one!

How many coffee trees can be planted on an acre? How much coffee can one mu produce?

Qianjie coffee in the practice of planting Yunnan coffee, because Katim is cylindrical straight growth, and can be close planting, generally planting 330trees per mu, about 300kg per mu The height of the main vertical trunk of the Tieka coffee tree is up to 5 meters, which means that compared with other varieties, the distance between the branches and the nodes on the same branch is longer, so the planting of 100s per mu will yield about 100kg per mu.

Planting conditions of Coffee trees

The ideal planting conditions for coffee trees are: a warm climate with a temperature between 15 ℃ and 25 mm, and a rainfall of 1500 Mel 2000 mm throughout the year, and the rainfall time should be in line with the flowering cycle of the coffee tree. Of course, in addition to the seasonal rainfall, there should also be fertile soil and good drainage. In addition, although sunlight is an indispensable element for the growth and fruit of coffee, too strong sunlight will inhibit the growth of coffee trees, so various producing areas will usually cooperate with the planting of some shade trees. The ideal altitude for the growth of coffee trees is 500 Mustang 2000 meters. It can be seen that the conditions for the cultivation of high-quality coffee are very strict: sunlight, rainfall, soil, air temperature, as well as the way coffee beans are harvested and the production process will affect the quality of coffee itself.

The Yunnan coffee plantation of Qianjie Coffee is located 1200m in Baoshan. The average temperature of coffee producing area in Baoshan, Yunnan is 21.5℃, which is basically frost-free all the year round, and Rain Water is abundant all the year round, which is very suitable for the growth conditions of coffee trees. The coffee cultivated in Baoshan coffee producing area is strong but not bitter, fragrant but not strong, the coffee bean particles are well-proportioned, the flavor is mellow and fruity.

How long can coffee trees blossom and bear fruit?

The first flowering period of the coffee tree is about three years old. the white five-petal tube-shaped flowers are filled with a faint scent of jasmine and the inflorescences are arranged in dense clusters. The petals will wither in two or three days and bear fruit after a few months. The fruit is a drupe with a diameter of about 1.5cm. It turns green at first, then turns yellow gradually, and turns red when ripe. It is very similar to cherries, so it is called cherry coffee (Coffee Cherry). It can be harvested at this time.

Coffee fruit contains two seeds, namely coffee beans. The two beans are connected face to face with each other on one side of the plane. Each coffee bean has a thin outer film, which is called silver skin, and its outer layer is covered with a yellow outer skin, called endocarp. The whole coffee bean is wrapped in a sticky pulp to form a soft and sweet coffee pulp with the outermost shell.

In Yunnan, where Katim is popular, the earliest plant is tin tin.

The earliest history of growing coffee in Yunnan can be traced back to the early 20th century, but at that time it was mainly grown by foreign missionaries to drink coffee for themselves. Then the earliest large-scale industrial cultivation began in the 1950s, and the coffee produced was mainly used for export to the Soviet Union. In that period of Yunnan coffee planting history, combined with Yunnan coffee planting environment and conditions, as well as the quality of coffee, mainly chose the variety of iron pickup.

But the iron pickup is a very difficult to take care of and the output is not high "little guy", although the iron pickup coffee is characterized by quiet and clean, balanced characteristics and high cleanliness. May rely on their own so "excellent", so iron card a tree yield is less, there are requirements for altitude, at the same time easy to infect leaf rust, and resistance to diseases and insect pests is not strong! At first glance, he is a difficult "little guy". At the altitude, it is not enough for the iron pickup to produce the flavor of coffee, at the same time, the output is small, and it is easy to get sick! On the other hand, curry farmers do not have the consciousness of fine coffee, so they must stay away from iron pickups. Anyway, the flavor beans are not good, so the farmers in Yunnan slowly set their sights on Katim, the mixed-race son of Arabica and Robusta.

Qianjie Coffee chooses to grow iron pickup coffee mainly in the manor because it thinks that if you want to change the flavor of Yunnan coffee, you should start from the root. Now Yunnan coffee is numb to rely on special treatment to quickly change the bad flavor of coffee, resulting in consumers will have the inherent impression that "Yunnan can only drink with special treatment". Iron pickup coffee has its unique quiet and clean flavor, as well as balanced features, high cleanliness, which can not be achieved by special treatment. Whether the coffee is good or not ultimately depends on the variety of coffee beans. after all, special treatment will not be a long-term solution.

The main method of raw bean treatment of Yunnan coffee-- washing treatment

Qianjie came to the Yunnan producing area of the planting season and really realized what the rainy season is. It is sunny for a few minutes and it rains for half an hour. Because of the perennial rainy season and unstable climate, most coffee beans in Yunnan are treated with water washing. Use a peeling machine to separate most of the pulp from the coffee beans, then guide the shelled beans to a clean sink, soak them in water and ferment to completely remove the residual pulp layer.

In the past (about five years ago), washing was often the first choice for good coffee bean treatment. Through water treatment, unripe beans and defective beans are selected because of buoyancy, and the fermentation process is easier to control, so the flavor is not mixed like sun beans, but shows obvious acidity, complexity and cleaner (without any negative flavor, such as astringency or sharpness).

How does Qianjie Coffee Bake Yunnan Iron pickup Coffee beans?

Yangjia 800N (baking capacity 300g): the furnace temperature is 200 degrees Celsius, the throttle is set at 3 degrees Celsius for 1 minute, the firepower is adjusted to 160 degrees, the temperature recovery point is 39 degrees 32 "seconds, the baking temperature is 149 degrees Celsius, the grass smell disappears completely, the dehydration is completed, the firepower remains unchanged, and the throttle changes 4; in the 6th minute, the firepower is adjusted to 140, and in the 7th minute, the firepower is adjusted to 120 again.

In the 8th minute, ugly wrinkles and black markings appeared on the bean table, and the smell of toasted bread obviously changed to the smell of coffee, which can be defined as a prelude to an explosion. At this time, listen clearly to the sound of the explosion point, start to explode at 8: 37 ", fire power is adjusted to 90, the throttle is fully open at 5, the firepower is reduced to 20 degrees in the 9th minute, and the explosion develops at 2 degrees 3900", at 196 degrees.

How does Qianjie Coffee brew Yunnan Iron pickup Coffee?

Filter cup: Hario V60 (the ribs of the filter cup are designed to improve the layering of coffee)

Powder content: 15g

Ratio of powder to water: 1:15

Degree of grinding: medium and fine grinding (the screening rate of 0.85 aperture screen is 76%)

Water temperature: 90 ℃

Qianjie uses segmented brewing, first injecting 30g of water for steaming for 30s, when the coffee expands into a "hamburger" shape. The center of the second section is filled with 125g water in a small circle. The height of water injection is 4cm, the strength is gentle, and the tumbling strength of the powder layer is reduced as much as possible, and the flow speed falls at 4G per second. When the water level drops to 1 stroke 2 of the silt layer, the third stage of water injection begins, and the water injection in this section is also gently circled from the center to the end of 225g. Finish the extraction after all the coffee liquid in the filter cup has been dripped, and the time is 2pm / 39 / 01 ". Shake gently after the coffee has been extracted, and then taste it after the coffee liquid is fully uniform.
