Flavor description of Yunnan Katim Coffee beans introduction to the Manor by Grinding scale treatment

Coffee cultivation in China is concentrated in Yunnan and Hainan provinces. Yunnan has a large output, with an annual output of about 26000 tons in recent years, accounting for 90 per cent of the national output. It is said that Yunnan coffee came from the French 70 or 80 years ago. The main variety is Arabica Arabica, that is, the so-called small seed coffee, commonly known as Yunnan small grain coffee. Yunnan's high-quality geographical and climatic conditions provide good conditions for coffee growth. The planting areas are Lincang, Baoshan, Simao, Xishuangbanna, Dehong and other prefectures. The natural conditions of Yunnan are very similar to those of Colombia, that is, low latitude, high altitude and large temperature difference between day and night. The small grain coffee produced is mellow by cup quality analysis, and its quality and taste is similar to that of Colombian coffee.

However, due to a variety of reasons, the development of Yunnan coffee industry is not fast. Yunnan coffee is mainly exported as raw materials, with an export volume of about 15000 tons in 2006. More than 60% of raw materials are acquired by Nestl é and Maxwell each year, and Starbucks and Amway have joined in recent years.

Due to the lack of deep processing and marketing, Yunnan coffee is not well-known and unrecognized by people locked in the mountains. It is believed that with the in-depth development of Yunnan coffee industry, the rising demand of domestic coffee market and the efforts of the government and enterprises, Yunnan coffee will usher in a new period of development.

Katim, as a variety that has taken root in Yunnan, I love and hate it. Although it has many shortcomings and is not suitable for planting at high altitude at all, there is still a lot of room for improvement and it has become better and better. How to find more of its advantages and make use of it is the most important. In the popular shallow baking pursuit of sour aroma to enhance the sweet taste of the domestic circle, it appears to be insufficient thickness. But few people realize that because of Katim's Romsta pedigree, it is suitable for deep and fast baking. Therefore, please treat and promote Yunnan coffee correctly.

Colombia is the biggest harvest of the new variety of Katim, and directly named the improved Katim as "Colombia" Katim and Kaddura are their two main varieties, with a proportion of about 6:4. These were told by my Colombian colleagues during the 2010 World Expo as a Chinese coffee consultant in Costa Rica. So those friends who flip through the coffee beans printed in the Supermo bag and say how Katim in Yunnan had no flavor last time, please pay more attention to the coffee in Yunnan.

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 has been on a par with that of Kaddura and Kaduai planted at low altitude. However, there is still a big gap between planting in high altitude areas and other varieties.
