Yunnan Small Bean Coffee

Yunnan small bean coffee - fruit-bearing trees aged 3-4 years.

Coffee is a short-day plant. Coffee exhibits multiple flowering phenomena and concentrated flowering periods. 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, lasting 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 requires 8-10 months to mature, typically ripening from October to December of the same year. Rainfall has a significant impact on fruit development, and climatic conditions directly affect the fruit's quality.

Main Growing Regions

Small bean 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 bean coffee is planted in dry, hot valley areas around 1100 meters altitude, resulting in moderate acidity, rich fragrance, and mellow smoothness. Many areas in Yunnan have unique environments suitable for small bean coffee cultivation, producing excellent quality small bean coffee.

The main growing areas are 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 recognized as the best small bean coffee growing region. The small bean coffee cultivated here is famous both at home and abroad for being rich but not bitter, aromatic but not strong, with small, uniform beans, rich mellow fragrance, 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 - among the world's highest quality coffees.

Variety

Typica, this classic premium 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. Typica's top leaves are copper-colored, giving it the name red-top coffee.
