Processing method of Katim Coffee Bean in Yunnan Province

Processing method of Katim Coffee Bean in Yunnan Province

After shelling, there are 18.5kg raw beans of different sizes, many chopped beans, adzuki beans and bad beans, and there are still a lot of defective beans after drying, so we hand-picked them on the spot and finally left 9 kilograms of qualified ones-- and most of the morning has passed, of course, if it is used to make instant coffee or general commercial beans, high-yield catimor is a good choice, but we want to find Yunnan specialty coffee. Then the old variety of iron pickup has become the first choice because of its congenital excellent gene. Therefore, this trip to Yunnan also followed the trail of the old varieties. But the reality is really cruel. Before going, Brother Zou told me that there was an old variety in his relative's house, but what he saw excitedly was a crazy growing coffee forest, which belonged to his aunt because his aunt was not old enough to plant and renovate-- so these old varieties survived, but the aunt was unable to manage it alone, so he left the tree to grow naturally and pick some fruit when it matured to trace its roots. Typica, which originated from Ethiopia, the ancient origin of coffee, is the earliest original species of coffee. Bourbon is a variety of typica.

Although the environmental problems of coffee cultivation can reach the standard of hot areas, they are far away from the equator, evaporation, large-scale coffee cultivation in Yunnan is less than 1100m above sea level, the severe drought in Yunnan in recent years, and the frost period in the producing areas, and so on, all make coffee planting can not be guaranteed normally, which directly affects the quality of coffee production. As for other processing problems, not to mention the quality of farmers, tea farmers drink tea for generations, but farmers may not have had coffee in their lives.

Since the early 1990s, in order to improve the enthusiasm of farmers, Baoshan Rezuo has introduced a Katim variety bred by the Portuguese Coffee Rust Research Center with Timor (medium grain, Tim) and Caturra (small grain, Kaddura), and has been popularized and planted with numerous titles. This variety has well solved many factors such as disease and insect disasters and drought resistance, and the important thing is that the yield per mu has nearly doubled. Although it has increased the enthusiasm of farmers to grow coffee, it has also become the reason for the low quality of Yunnan coffee from now on. At the same time, Nestl é and Maxwell entered China and began to promote coffee varieties suitable for instant coffee in Pu'er and other places: S288, natural hybrid of large seed and small seed and S26 of kent hybrid of Arabica Kent in India, which had first-class rust resistance, but with low planting difficulty and adaptability, it basically stopped planting at the beginning of the 20th century.

Yunnan small seed coffee beans-strong but not bitter, fragrant but not strong, slightly fruity. Bourbon (Bourbon) is a small-grain coffee widely cultivated in Yunnan at present. It is a variety of small-grain coffee second only to Tibika. At first, the main branch and trunk grew upward at 45 degrees, and with the 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. Baking: Yunnan small grains are full-bodied and well-balanced, with charming soft acidity and faint sweetness. Full city baking is recommended. How to cook it: siphon coffee, mocha pot and Italian espresso are all good choices. Espresso (double) is specially recommended, and you will have unexpected surprises. Of course, if you are referring to three-in-one instant coffee, then dissolve with Nestle, directly a small packet of boiled water with 150ml rinse and stir well
