A brief introduction to the manor planting in the flavor and taste producing area of Tieka Coffee, an excellent variety of coffee in Yunnan.

All the varieties planted in Pu'er area of Yunnan are catimor (Katim). In Baoshan City, typica and bourbon were introduced as early as the 1950s, and the locals called them "old varieties". Because the old varieties have low disease and insect resistance and yield, and the management is relatively expensive and manpower, coupled with the market purchase price does not have many advantages, brown farmers have changed to a new variety catimor in recent years. From the botanical point of view of coffee, Yunnan small Grain Coffee and the recognized best coffee varieties such as Jamaica Blue Mountain (Jamaica Blue Mountain) and Hawaii Kona (Kona) have genetic similarity between Typica and Bourbon, which are the two main coffee varieties in Yunnan. In 1991, the Catimor series was introduced from Kenya (with stronger anti-virus ability and higher yield). A variety of Arabian species (also known as small seed species). Because the morphology and habits of the two varieties are similar, the two varieties are mostly mixed.

The quality of coffee depends on many factors, such as growing environment, climate, cultivation and management techniques and so on. Its excellent growth environment is low latitude, high altitude, sufficient rainfall and suitable sunshine, so the north latitude is 15. The ideal growing area for coffee is between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Cancer. Our planting base in Yunnan is located in 23 ℃ north latitude and 99 ℃ east longitude, with an elevation of 1230 meters, a height of 1540 meters, a height difference of 310 meters, a topography of mountains and slopes, and a large undulation, fertile soil, sufficient sunshine, rich rainfall and large temperature difference between day and night, these unique natural conditions have formed the special taste of Yunnan coffee-thick but not bitter, fragrant but not strong, slightly fruity, and the quality is similar to Colombian small grain coffee. Coffee fresh fruit is generally picked from November to February of the following year and processed by washing and wetting. Advanced imported equipment is used in coffee processing. At present, 30% of Yunnan coffee products are supplied to the domestic market and 70% are sold abroad.

Due to the excellent quality of Yunnan coffee, it was rated as a first-class coffee in the 1960s as "Lujiang No.1" and entered the London market. In recent years, world-famous coffee companies such as Nestle and McDonnell have come to Yunnan to open up raw material bases, and the products produced in Yunnan have gradually enjoyed the characteristics of Yunnan coffee at home and abroad: Yunnan coffee has formed a unique flavor of strong but not bitter, fragrant but not strong, with a little fruity flavor, evaluated by world-class coffee experts as the world's best coffee, and its cultivation techniques. The per unit yield is also among the best in the world. Yunnan coffee is a variant of Arabian species, commonly known as Yunnan small-grain coffee, evergreen shrub, with small kernels, thick peel, sweet pulp, mellow product and low caffeine content, so it is also called light coffee. It is the main cultivated variety in the world, catimor: Katim is not pure Arabica. It is a hybrid of Timor (belonging to Robusta) and caturra (a variety of Bobang), so catimor has 25% Robusta pedigree, and its Robusta pedigree also determines its taste defects: the aroma is not rich enough, and the overall taste is bitter, prone to astringent and more irritating mildew.
