Growth Period

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

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

Coffee fruit development takes considerable time. Small-grain coffee fruit typically takes 8-10 months to mature, generally ripening between October and December of the same year. Rainfall greatly affects fruit development, and climatic conditions directly impact the fruit quality.

Yunnan Small-Grain Coffee

Yunnan small-grain coffee belongs to the Rubiaceae family, Coffea genus. The growing areas are mainly distributed in regions such as Lincang, Baoshan, Simao, Xishuangbanna, and Dehong. Small-grain coffee originates from Ethiopia or the Arabian Peninsula.

Flavor description: Rich but not bitter, fragrant but not intense, with floral notes, sweet cantaloupe in the middle, and black tea finish.

Baoshan small-grain coffee, a specialty of Baoshan's Lujiang in Yunnan, is a national geographical indication product and ranks among the highest quality coffees in China and even globally. The beans are uniform and full-bodied, with fresh aroma, rich fragrance, and mellow taste. It exhibits richness without intensity and can be compared to the world-renowned Blue Mountain coffee. It enjoys global reputation for its exceptional quality: in the late 1950s, it was rated as first-grade at the London market and earned the fine name "Lujiang No. 1." In 1980, at the National Coffee Conference, it was recognized as the "Crown of National Coffee."

Major 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, rich fragrance, and mellow smoothness. Many regions in Yunnan have unique environments suitable for small-grain coffee growth, producing excellent quality small-grain coffee beans.

The main growing areas are distributed in regions such as Lincang, Baoshan, Simao, Xishuangbanna, and Dehong. Baoshan has an average temperature of 21.5°C, reaching highs of 40.4°C, and is basically frost-free year-round, making it recognized as the best small-grain coffee growing region. The small-grain coffee cultivated here is famous 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-grain 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 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 intense light, with higher yields in Hawaii. Typica's terminal leaves are bronze-colored, earning it the name "red-top coffee."
