Introduction to the Grinding Calibration method for describing the Flavor of Yunnan small-grain Coffee

Yunnan small-grain coffee, that is, Arabica coffee, now belongs to an awkward position in the international market as well as in China. For example, coffee shops rank low in individual coffee, and the cheapest coffee is Yunnan coffee. This is an issue that cannot be avoided.

Since the landlord asks what is the difference between the main producing areas and the main producing areas, let's tell the story of the variety.

Yunnan can be said to be the only province still growing Arabica on a large scale, mainly in Dehong Lincang, Baoshan, western Yunnan and Pu'er Banna in southern Yunnan. Robusta was the main coffee introduced by missionaries in the 19th century, and then it was no longer planted on a large scale. Experts assisted by the Soviet Union brought two mainstream Arabica varieties, typica and Bourbon bourbon, to Baoshan, Yunnan, for cultivation and promotion, which were well received. Later, due to the special period, scientific research and cultivation tended to stagnate. After the reform and opening up, thanks to the efforts of local agricultural experts, the iron pickup varieties cultivated by Baoshan state-run Lujiang Farm and Xincheng Youth Farm also won the first place in the international coffee competition. However, because of the Chinese people's understanding of coffee, we do not increase our interest in growing 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 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.

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.
