Yunnan catimor alpine organic coffee flavor description taste treatment method grinding scale production area introduction

Arabica coffee is suitable for growing in the mountains of 800~1800 meters above sea level. If the altitude is too high, it tastes sour, and if it is too low, it tastes bitter. Arabica coffee is mostly planted in dry and hot valleys at an altitude of about 1100 meters, so the acidity is moderate, the aroma is rich and mellow. Many areas of Yunnan Province have unique environments suitable for the growth of Arabica coffee, and the Arabica coffee produced is of excellent quality.

Planting areas are mainly distributed in Lincang, Baoshan, Simao, Xishuangbanna, Dehong, Nujiang and other prefectures.

Baoshan Lujiangba average temperature of 21.5℃, up to 40.4℃, basically frost-free throughout the year, is recognized as the best coffee producing area. The Arabica coffee cultivated here is famous for its strong but not bitter, fragrant but not strong, well-proportioned grain facets, mellow fragrance and fruity flavor.

In recent years, the planting area of Arabica coffee in other producing areas of Yunnan has been expanding, the quality has also been greatly developed, and its popularity has been continuously improved at home and abroad.

After inspecting Yunnan coffee planting and primary processing bases, experts from the International Coffee Organization evaluated Yunnan coffee as Colombia wet-processed Arabica coffee, the highest quality coffee in the world

For decades, Yunnan has been the leader in coffee cultivation in China. In 1955, Yunnan farmers introduced coffee on state-owned Lujiang Farm and Hekou Farm, which was the starting point of Yunnan coffee after the founding of New China. Yunnan coffee production area is located between 15° N and Tropic of Cancer, most of which are 1000-2000 meters above sea level. The terrain is dominated by mountains and slopes, with large undulations, fertile soil, abundant sunshine, abundant rainfall and large temperature difference between day and night. These unique natural conditions formed the special taste of Yunnan Arabica coffee, strong but not bitter, fragrant but not strong, slightly fruity

Many botanists have studied the improvement of Catim varieties for decades, and dozens of new varieties have been developed. Colombia is the largest harvest country, in 1982 to cultivate solar-able Catim, and the name "Colombia". Colombia claims that after many generations of cross-breeding [Colombia] and the general Kadim is different, and now Kadura has become the country's two main varieties, has long replaced the weak and sickly production of less Tibica. However, Colombia's [COE] winners are mostly Kadura, and Colombia, which has Robusta ancestry, rarely wins. Colombia exports a lot of [Supermo] commercial beans should be lower altitude [Colombia] or Kadura, rather than the traditional Tibica, this is the main reason why [Supermo] flavor is getting poorer, but Colombia can not reproduce the production of less Tibica.
