Coffee Growing Regions in Yunnan

The main growing areas are distributed in Lincang, Baoshan, Simao, Xishuangbanna, Dehong and other regions. Baoshan has an average temperature of 21.5°C, reaching up to 40.4°C, with basically no frost throughout the year, making it recognized as the best producing area for small-grain coffee. The small-grain coffee cultivated here is renowned both domestically and internationally for being rich but not bitter, fragrant but not strong, with small and 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-grain coffee, making it one of the world's high-quality coffees.

Main Growing Areas

Small-grain coffee is suitable for growing on mountain slopes at altitudes of 800-1800 meters. If the altitude is too high, the taste becomes sour; if too low, it becomes bitter. Most small-grain 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-grain coffee, producing excellent quality beans.

Variety

Typica, this classic high-quality coffee variety, is the main cultivated variety for this batch of coffee. Typica coffee originates 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. The top leaves of Typica are copper-colored, earning it the name "red-topped coffee."

Growth Period

Yunnan small-grain coffee trees start bearing fruit at 3-4 years of age.

Coffee is a short-day plant. Coffee has the characteristics of multiple flowering phenomena and concentrated flowering periods. Small-grain 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-grain coffee generally begins to bloom between 3-5 AM and fully blooms between 5-7 AM.

Coffee fruit development takes a relatively long time. Small-grain 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 climate conditions directly affect the fruit.
