Introduction to the processing method of Yunnan small Coffee Huaguoshan Coffee Bean

The western and southern parts of Yunnan Province are located between 15 °N and the Tropic of Cancer, and most areas are 1000-2000 meters above sea level. The topography is dominated by mountains and slopes, with large ups and downs, fertile soil, sufficient sunshine, rich rainfall and large temperature difference between day and night. These unique natural conditions form the particularity of Yunnan small grain coffee taste-strong but not bitter, fragrant but not strong, slightly fruity. As early as the 1950s, Yunnan small seed coffee was very popular in the international coffee market and was rated as the top grade of coffee.

The history of coffee cultivation in Yunnan can be traced back to 1892. A French missionary brought coffee to Yunnan from abroad and successfully planted it in a valley in Binchuan County, Yunnan Province. The coffee plants of this batch of coffee seeds are still blooming and bearing fruit in Binchuan County.

Yunnan coffee was planted on a large scale in the mid-1950s, with a planting scale of 4000 hectares at one time. By the end of 1997, the planting area of coffee in the province had reached 7800 hectares. At present, the planting area of the province accounts for 70% of the national area, and the output accounts for 83% of the whole country. Yunnan coffee has established the dominant position in China in terms of planting area and coffee bean production.

The suitable planting areas of coffee in Yunnan are distributed in Simao, Banna, Wenshan, Baoshan and Dehong in the south and southwest of Yunnan.

The western and southern parts of Yunnan Province are located between 15 °N and the Tropic of Cancer, most of which are 1000-2000 meters above sea level, and the topography is dominated by mountains and slopes. With fertile land, sufficient sunshine, rich rainfall and large temperature difference between day and night, the unique natural conditions have formed the particularity of Yunnan small seed coffee taste-strong but not bitter, fragrant but not strong, slightly fruity.

Pu'er, Xishuangbanna, Wenshan, Baoshan, Dehong, Lincang and other places in the south and west of Yunnan are all the distribution areas of small-grain coffee in Yunnan. As of January 1, 2012, according to the comprehensive survey of Yunnan Province, the planting area of coffee in Yunnan has exceeded 800000 mu, and the output of coffee beans in this period is expected to exceed 55000 tons. For the future, local governments in Yunnan have also drawn a blueprint: Dehong is planning to expand the coffee planting area from the current 100000 mu to 200000 mu in the next few years; Lincang plans to expand the existing 20, 000-mu coffee forest by 10 times to 200000 mu in the 12th five-year Plan; and Pu'er also plans to expand the 220000 mu coffee forest to 600000 mu. Other areas suitable for coffee cultivation, such as Baoshan and Xishuangbanna, are also planning to expand the planting scale.

Dehong: it has the laudatory name of "hometown of Chinese coffee". As of 2011, a total of 120900 mu of coffee has been developed and planted in the state, accounting for 30% of the total coffee planting area in the country. In the next 3 years, the planting area of coffee in Dehong Prefecture will reach 200000 mu. The coffee planting in Dehong Prefecture is above 1000 meters above sea level, of which 30, 000 mu are planted in the mountains above 1600 meters above sea level. in addition, the coffee grown in Dehong Prefecture mainly uses organic fertilizers and organic pesticides, resulting in high quality coffee. it is one of the rare high-quality coffee producing areas in the world.

Baoshan: the cultivation of coffee in Baoshan began in the mid-1950s, and the first coffee seedling was introduced by the late patriotic overseas Chinese Mr. Liang Jinshan in Southeast Asia. The local famous Lujiangba small grain coffee is of excellent quality. It was rated as first class in London, England as early as the late 1950s.
