Typica and Bourbon, two classic high-quality coffee varieties, are the main coffee cultivars in Yunnan Province. In 1991, Katimo Catimor series varieties (stronger virus resistance and higher yield) were introduced from Kenya. It is a variant of the Arabian species (also known as the small species). Due to the similarity of morphology and habits of these two varieties, they are often mixed and cultivated.

Yunnan coffee varieties have been judged, right? What about the excellent iron pickups and bourbon? New promotion planting, or left a lot of hills, continue to plant old varieties of coffee, but, popular, backward places do not have the origin and protection of a single species, a mountain, 10 households, all kinds of, a gust of wind blowing, pollen flying everywhere... hehe. The problem of variety makes Yunnan coffee really lose at the starting line.

In addition, the environmental problems of coffee planting, although it can reach the hot zone standard, are far away from the equator, evaporation problems, large-scale Yunnan coffee planting land is less than 1100m above sea level, Yunnan drought in recent years, and frost period problems in the producing areas, etc., all of which make coffee planting unable to be guaranteed normally, directly affecting the quality of the products. As for other processing problems and coffee farmers 'literacy problems, there is not much to say. Tea farmers drink tea for generations, but coffee farmers may not have drunk coffee in their whole lives.

Later, due to the special period, scientific research and planting tended to stagnate. After the reform and opening-up, with the efforts of local agricultural experts, the varieties of iron pickup cultivated by Baoshan State-owned Lujiang Farm and Xincheng Youth Farm also won the first place in the International Coffee Competition and received rave reviews. However, the Chinese people's cognition of coffee made us not increase too much interest in planting. Since the early 1990s, in order to improve the planting enthusiasm of coffee farmers, Baoshan Thermal Crop Institute has introduced the Katim variety bred by the Portugal Coffee Rust Research Center through the cross of Timer (medium grain, Tim) and Caturra (small grain, Kadura), and has been popularized and planted with numerous titles. Up to now, this variety has solved many factors such as disease and insect pests disaster and drought resistance very well. The important thing is that the yield per mu has nearly doubled. Although the planting enthusiasm of coffee farmers has been improved, However, this also became the reason for the low quality of Yunnan coffee from then on; At the same time, Nestle and Maxwell entered China and began to promote coffee varieties suitable for instant coffee in Pu 'er and other places: S288, natural hybridization of large seed and small seed, and self-breeding of Indian Arabica Kent hybrid offspring S26, first-class rust resistance ability, but planting difficulty and adaptability are relatively low, and planting has been basically stopped since the beginning of the 20th century.
