Main Growing Areas

Small bean coffee is suitable for growing in mountainous areas at altitudes of 800-1800 meters. If the altitude is too high, the taste becomes sour; if too low, it becomes bitter. Most small bean coffee is planted in dry, hot valley areas around 1100 meters altitude, resulting in moderate acidity with rich and mellow aroma. Many areas in Yunnan have unique environments suitable for growing small bean coffee, producing excellent quality small bean coffee.

The growing areas are mainly distributed in Lincang, Baoshan, Simao, Xishuangbanna, Dehong and other prefectures. Baoshan has an average temperature of 21.5°C, reaching up to 40.4°C at its highest, with basically no frost throughout the year, making it a recognized optimal growing area for small bean coffee. The small bean coffee cultivated here is renowned both domestically and internationally for being rich but not bitter, fragrant but not intense, with small, uniform beans, rich mellow aroma, and fruity notes. International coffee organization tasting experts have evaluated Yunnan coffee as being in the same category as Colombian wet-processed small bean coffee, ranking it among the world's high-quality coffees.

Variety

Typica, this classic high-quality coffee variety, is the main cultivated variety for this batch of coffee. Typica coffee originated from Ethiopia and southeastern Sudan, and is the most widely cultivated coffee variety in the Western Hemisphere. The plants are relatively robust but not tolerant to strong light, with higher yields in Hawaii. Typica's top leaves are copper-colored, giving it the name red-top coffee.

Growth Period

Yunnan small bean coffee trees bear fruit at 3-4 years of age.

Coffee is a short-day plant. Coffee has the characteristic of multiple flowering periods with concentrated blooming. Small bean coffee in Yunnan flowers from February to July, with peak flowering from March to May. Coffee flowering is greatly influenced by climate, particularly rainfall and temperature. Coffee flowers have a short lifespan of only 2-3 days. Small bean coffee generally begins to bloom between 3-5 AM and reaches full bloom between 5-7 AM.

Coffee fruit development takes a relatively long time. Small bean coffee fruit takes 8-10 months to mature, generally maturing from October to December of the same year. Rainfall has a significant impact on fruit development, and climatic conditions directly affect the fruit.
