Flavor description of Yunnan Tiepi Katim Coffee beans

Typica: the oldest native variety in Ethiopia and southeastern Sudan. All Arabikas are derived from Tibika. The flavor is elegant, but the physique is weak, the disease resistance is poor, the fruit yield is less. Excellent manor beans such as the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, Manning of Sumatra and Kona of Hawaii all belong to Tibika. Tiebika top leaf is red copper, called red top coffee, Tibika belongs to Arabica.

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.

All the coffee beans grown in Yunnan are Arabica coffee beans. The varieties were first introduced in 1892 in Zhukula area, Pingchuan Town, Binchuan County, Dali Prefecture, Yunnan Province. Two kinds of coffee beans, Arabica bourbon and Arabica, were introduced. After that, Kenya Katimo (Arabica and Robusta) was introduced in 1991, which belongs to Arabica small variety beans. Because the earliest bourbon and tin khaki beans are smaller, they belong to small granule coffee beans. Commonly known as small seed, coupled with the production of Yunnan, so later generations will produce coffee beans in Yunnan, collectively known as Yunnan small seed coffee. At present, there are three coffee varieties in Yunnan: bourbon, Tippika and Katimo (variety). The main producing areas are Lincang, Baoshan, Simao, Xishuangbanna and Dehong Prefecture.
