Description of Coffee Bean Flavor in Katim, Yunnan Province, China

I don't want to prove anything, nor do I expect to get everyone's approval. I just say my own views and understanding for everyone's reference. Therefore, if you disagree with my statement and opinion, or have strong dissatisfaction, please communicate in a civilized manner.

Katim, as a breed that has taken root in Yunnan, I love and hate it. Although it had many shortcomings and was not suitable for high-altitude cultivation, there was still a lot of room for improvement, and it was getting better and better. How to discover more of its advantages and take advantage of it is the most important thing. It appears thin in domestic circles where light baking is popular in pursuit of sour and sweet flavors. But few people realize that Katim's Romstar lineage is uniquely suited to deep and fast baking. Therefore, please treat and promote Yunnan coffee correctly. Colombia is the largest harvest country of this new variety of Katim, and directly use the improved Katim as the national name "Colombia". Katim and Kadura are their two main varieties, with a ratio of about 6:4. This was told to me by my colleagues in Colombia during my participation in the World Expo as a coffee consultant for Costa Rica in 2010. So those friends who flip through the coffee beans printed with Supermo and say how Yunnan's Katim has no flavor last time, please learn more about Yunnan's coffee. In the eyes of most Chinese people, Yunnan coffee = Yunnan small coffee. There are even many people who think that "Yunnan small grain" is a coffee tree species. Perhaps in the eyes of many businesses, this name means business opportunities, but in my eyes, this name is optional, he is at most a brand, definitely not a coffee variety. Since speaking of Yunnan coffee varieties, then have to mention "Catimor Catim". This coffee variety was introduced by Nestle and later improved to CIFC7963, which is now widely cultivated in Yunnan. The stock is a cross between Timer Hybrid and Caturra. Characterized by Caturra's high yield, short plant and timor's disease resistance. In the early days of Katim's life, it was considered by the industry to be poor in cup testing because of Timor's Romstar lineage. However, with the continuous improvement of varieties, the cup test of F6 6th generation Katim is comparable to that of Kadulla and Kaduai planted at low altitude. But growing to higher altitudes still leaves a lot to be desired, and I'm really happy to be in this group, where there are a lot of friends who really like and study coffee. Everyone has their own strengths, and they are not afraid to share knowledge and exchange problems with each other. Then I also dedicate my understanding of Yunnan coffee in recent years to everyone, mostly personal experiences and opinions, which may add a lot of my personal feelings, which are somewhat different from Baidu Encyclopedia or official reports.
