Yunnan Coffee Flavor description treatment Grinding scale Regional varieties

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.

The western and southern parts of Yunnan Province are located between 15 °N and the Tropic of Cancer, and most areas are 1000-2000 meters above sea level. The topography is dominated by mountains and slopes, 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-strong but not bitter, fragrant but not strong, slightly fruity. There are many varieties of small-grain coffee, there are differences in taste, some acidity is very light and faint, continuous and spread to the gills, accompanied by a clear sense of balance. Some flowers are mixed with citrus flavor, which is very exaggerated. Some acidity has berry flavor, and the taste is extremely dry. Some are full of malt flavor, feeling very low-key. Classic coffee will not be particularly attractive, all flavors are strong and well balanced. As early as the 1950s, Yunnan small seed coffee was very popular in the international coffee market and was rated as the top grade of coffee.

The growth and development of coffee is closely related to climatic and environmental conditions. In the areas where the wind is strong, the temperature is high, the light is strong, and the soil is easy to dry, the axillary buds of plant branches tend to differentiate into flower buds, and the growth of branches is small, which is easy to cause premature senescence. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a place with quiet wind, high humidity and short light as a garden. Small-grain coffee is a plant that needs water and is afraid of too much water. where the rainfall is less than 1400 mm, you should choose places with irrigation conditions or water conservancy facilities. the root system of coffee is very strong, and the soil drainage is poor, so drains should be added. If the soil has high sand content and poor water conservation and fertility, mulch should be used and organic fertilizer should be applied. The sloping land should be changed into terraced land in order to be suitable for planting. Dig the planting hole 2-3 months before planting, separate the topsoil from the inner soil when digging the ditch, return the topsoil to the ditch, and apply 100 kg calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer per mu, where possible, apply 2-5 kg of soil miscellaneous fertilizer as base fertilizer, fill the ditch with topsoil about 15 days before planting (the topsoil is evenly mixed with base fertilizer), so as to avoid soil subsidence after planting and affect survival.
