Primary Growing Regions

Arabica 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 Arabica coffee is planted in dry, hot valley areas around 1100 meters altitude, resulting in moderate acidity and rich, mellow aroma. Many regions in Yunnan have unique environments suitable for Arabica coffee cultivation, producing high-quality small-bean coffee.

Planting 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, with basically no frost throughout the year, making it recognized as the best Arabica coffee producing area. The Arabica coffee cultivated here is famous both domestically and internationally for being rich without bitterness, fragrant without harshness, with small, uniform beans, rich mellow aroma, and fruity notes. International Coffee Organization tasting experts have evaluated Yunnan coffee as comparable to Colombian wet-processed Arabica 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 in 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 has bronze-colored terminal leaves, earning it the name "red-topped coffee."

Growth Period

Yunnan Arabica coffee bears fruit in 3-4 years.

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

Coffee fruit development takes a long time. Arabica 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.
