Flavor description of Yunnan Pu'er Katim Coffee Bean introduction to the method of Grinding Calibration Variety treatment

In the eyes of most Chinese, Yunnan Coffee is Yunnan small Coffee. Many people even think that Yunnan Xiaogi is a coffee tree. Perhaps in the eyes of many businessmen, this name means business opportunities, but in my eyes, this name is dispensable, he is at best a brand, absolutely can not be regarded as a coffee variety. Since we talk about the varieties of coffee in Yunnan, we have to mention "Catimor Katim". This coffee variety was introduced by Nestl é and then improved and hybridized into CIFC7963, which is now widely cultivated in Yunnan. The original seed is a hybrid of Timor Hybrid and Caturra. It is characterized by high yield of Caturra, dwarf of plant and strong disease resistance of timor. In the early days of its birth, Katim was considered by the industry to have a bad taste because of timor's Romsta pedigree. However, with the continuous improvement of varieties, the cup test of the sixth generation of F6 Katim is on a par with that of Kaddura and Kaduai planted at low altitude.

All the varieties planted in Pu'er area of Yunnan are catimor (Katim). In Baoshan City, typica and bourbon were introduced as early as the 1950s, and the locals called them "old varieties". Because the old varieties have low disease and insect resistance and yield, and the management is relatively expensive and manpower, coupled with the market purchase price does not have many advantages, brown farmers have changed to a new variety catimor in recent years. From the botanical point of view of coffee, Yunnan small-grain coffee is genetically similar to the recognized best blue mountains in Jamaica (Jamaica Blue Mountain) and Kona in Hawaii.

Catimor, also known as Katim, was bred by the Portuguese in 1959. It has 3/4 Arabica lineage and 1/4 Robusta pedigree. Its most important feature is its extremely strong and strong resistance to leaf rust. This is an ideal commercial variety for coffee producers in terms of yield, maturity, pest resistance and flavor. However, once planted at high altitudes, its inherent "inferiority" is undoubtedly exposed, while the advantages of older, more native Arabica coffee, such as Tibica and Bourbon, are fully demonstrated. At present, each series of Katim has a very large planting area in Yunnan, China. Coffee farmers are optimistic about its three advantages of short trees, high yield and disease resistance (resistance to longicorn beetles and leaf rust).
