Bourbon: juxtaposed with Tibica as an ancient and excellent variety. Some botanists even believe that Bourbon is a variant of the early Tibika transplanted to Yemen, where the bean shape changed from a thin tip to a round body. It was not until 1715 that France transplanted Mocha round beans from Yemen to the island of Bourbon on the east coast of Africa, and it was not until 1715 that it received the name round bourbon. Bourbon, which spread to Brazil and Central and South America in 1727, is also round beans. In addition, the British transplant of Yemeni mocha to St. Helena Island in 1732 was also a round bean. interestingly, it did not pass through Bourbon Island, but it was named Green Top Bourbon. It can be seen that the industry thinks that all the world's bourbon beans come from Bourbon Island is a big misunderstanding. It is important to recognize that there are many round bourbon beans that spread directly from Yemen without passing through the island of bourbon. In 181○, some of the round beans on Bourbon Island mutated into pointed beans, also known as "Bourbon pointed beans". Its caffeine content was only half that of ordinary coffee, and its output was low, weak, and extremely rare.

Iron pickup, also known as the old variety of small-grain coffee, its yield is less, cultivation is difficult, so the price is much higher than ordinary small-grain coffee. Tibica coffee, native to Ethiopia and southeastern Sudan, is the most widely cultivated variety of coffee in the Western Hemisphere. The plant is stronger, but not light-tolerant, and the yield is higher in Hawaii. The top leaf of Tibika is red and copper, which is called red top coffee.

Speaking of which, I think there should be some judgment on the varieties of coffee in Yunnan. What about the excellent iron pickup and bourbon before? In the new promotion and planting, there are still many hills left to continue to grow old varieties of coffee, but, generally speaking, backward places do not have the protection of origin and a single species, a mountain, 10 families, all kinds of people, a gust of wind blowing, pollen flying everywhere. He he. The problem of variety, so that Yunnan coffee really lost in the starting line.

In addition, although the environmental problems of coffee cultivation can meet the standards of hot areas, they are far away from the equator, evaporation, large-scale coffee cultivation in Yunnan is less than 1100m above sea level, the severe drought in Yunnan in recent years, and the frost period in the producing areas, and so on, all make the cultivation of coffee can not be guaranteed normally, directly affecting the quality of coffee production. As for other processing problems, not to mention the quality of farmers, tea farmers drink tea for generations, but farmers may not have had coffee in their lives.

As a result, we did not increase our interest in planting much. Since the early 1990s, in order to improve the enthusiasm of farmers, Baoshan Rezuo has introduced a Katim variety bred by the Portuguese Coffee Rust Research Center with Timor (medium grain, Tim) and Caturra (small grain, Kaddura), and has been popularized and planted with numerous titles. This variety has well solved many factors such as disease and insect disasters and drought resistance, and the important thing is that the yield per mu has nearly doubled. Although it has increased the enthusiasm of farmers to grow coffee, it has also become the reason for the low quality of Yunnan coffee from now on. At the same time, Nestl é and Maxwell entered China and began to promote coffee varieties suitable for instant coffee in Pu'er and other places: S288, natural hybrid of large seed and small seed and S26 of kent hybrid of Arabica Kent in India, which had first-class rust resistance, but with low planting difficulty and adaptability, it basically stopped planting at the beginning of the 20th century.
