Flavor description of Arabica Coffee beans Grinding scale production area Variety treatment method

Arabica is deeply loved by Chinese people with a short history of coffee contact because of its strong fruity aroma. it was introduced to China by missionaries in the 19th century and widely planted in Panzhihua, Sichuan, and the dry-hot valley of the Jinsha River above 1000 meters in western Yunnan. The sunshine in this area lasts for a long time and there is a great temperature difference between day and night. The local people solve the problem of insufficient seasonal rainfall by diverting water up the mountain, resulting in a unique aroma of "Chinese coffee". Among them, Banpo coffee grown in Arabica in Panzhihua, Sichuan is the most. Compared with Yunnan and Hainan, Panzhihua in the dry-hot valley has longer sunshine, higher altitude, greater temperature difference, good light quality and more virgin land. it is a rare and most suitable area for growing Arabica coffee. Banpo coffee farmers take advantage of this advantage to adopt unique planting and processing technology: first, "do not land on the ground": from collecting coffee beans to processing into finished products, coffee has been kept free from soil and other sundries to ensure its taste and quality; second, "graded collection": since coffee beans are not uniform and mature, coffee beans of the same level are collected centrally rather than mixed together. Such as manual operation, the use of a large number of labor force to collect, classify and process. The coffee here is rich in aroma, balanced between sour and bitter, and fruity. It is very popular with consumers and foreign coffee beverage giants.

1. Suitable climate: in the area between Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Cancer, the climate is hot and humid or hot but not dry, sufficient Rain Water, the temperature is between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius

 2. The soil is thick, hard, permeable, well irrigated and well drained. The best land is in mountainous areas, especially on hillsides, preferably volcanic soil with decomposable rocks, or newly ploughed forest land. Although some coffee tree species can thrive on land 2000 to 2200 meters high, others grow below 400m, or even on horizontal ground, the best elevation is between 600m and 1200 m.

 3. The purpose of careful cultivation is to protect the growth of coffee trees at all stages, so:

a. Species should be selected from strong, luxuriant, long-lived coffee trees.

b. To sow, first spread the seeds in a sheltered, cool nursery shed. Six months later, usually during the rainy season, the coffee seedlings are moved to the planting area, and the mother soil is retained at the roots.

Depending on the area under cultivation (tropical or subtropical), coffee trees should be planted at intervals with other trees to protect them from strong winds and strong sunlight. In this way, coffee trees can only grow to three or four years old.
