Flavor description of Organic Coffee beans grown in Alpine catimor of Yunnan Province

Typica and Bourbon, two classic high-quality coffee varieties, are the main coffee varieties in Yunnan. In 1991, Katimo Catimor series varieties were introduced from Kenya (with stronger anti-virus ability and higher yield). A variety of Arabian species (also known as small seed species). Because the morphology and habits of the two varieties are similar, the two varieties are mostly mixed.

Tibica coffee, native to Ethiopia and southeastern Sudan, is the most widely cultivated variety of coffee in the Western Hemisphere. The plant is stronger, but not light-tolerant, and the yield is higher in Hawaii. The top leaf of Tibika is red and copper, which is called red top coffee.

Bourbon coffee is a variety of small-grain coffee second only to Tibica. At first, the main branch and the trunk grew upward at 45 degrees, and drooped with fruit load, the lateral branches were denser, the fruit was more, and the yield was higher. But the berries are smaller and ripen more slowly. The top bud of Bobang is green, which is called green top coffee.

Catimor is an improved variety of Tiebika, with 25% Robusta gene.

For decades, Yunnan has been a leader in domestic coffee cultivation. In 1955, Yunnan farmers introduced and planted coffee on the state-run Lujiang Farm and Hekou Farm, which was the starting point of Yunnan coffee after the founding of the people's Republic of China. Yunnan coffee producing area is located between 15 °north latitude and the Tropic of Cancer, and most areas are 1000-2000 meters above sea level. The topography is mainly mountainous and sloping, 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, which is strong but not bitter, fragrant but not strong, and slightly fruity.

Over the decades, many botanists have studied the improvement of Kadim varieties, and dozens of new varieties have been cultivated. Colombia is the biggest harvester. In 1982, Kadim, which can be planted in the sun, was cultivated and named after the country "Colombia." Costa Rica claims that unlike ordinary kadim, [Colombia], which has been interbred for many generations, is now the two main varieties in the country with Kaddura, which has long replaced Tibica, which is weak, sickly and with low yield. However, most of the winners of Costa Rican [COE] are Kaddura, and [Colombia], who is of Robusta descent, rarely wins the prize. A large number of [Supermo] commercial beans exported by Costa Rica should be lower altitude [Colombia] or Kaddura, rather than the traditional Tibica, which is the main reason why the flavor of [Supermo] is getting poorer and poorer, but it is impossible for Costa Rica to reproduce the less productive Tibica.
