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 main planting areas are distributed in Lincang, Baoshan, Simao, Xishuangbanna, Dehong, and other prefectures.
