The Value of Baoshan Coffee

You cannot compare Baoshan Typica with Hawaiian Kona or Bolivian Typica. Their cultivation techniques and maturity far exceed Baoshan Typica coffee, which has just begun. The people of Yunnan are also working hard, with cultivation and processing technologies improving rapidly. It's like comparing the educational level of elementary school students with university students—how can they be compared? But most importantly, it's about the growth process and the experiences and gains summarized along the way.

Many people hold no hope for China's Yunnan coffee, which is wrong. A true coffee lover and professional should embrace diversity, discovering the merits and recognizability of coffees from different regions and tree species. Instead of following the commercial hype and high-scoring beans whose added value exceeds their actual worth. Scores are given by people; the shortcomings of beans can be judged, but their regional characteristics and existence significance cannot be erased.

When we drink Baoshan Typica coffee, our focus should not be on comparison with other advanced producing regions, but on supporting and encouraging the hard work and dedication of the people in Yunnan's producing region. Their love for coffee and progress cannot be ignored. The newly arrived Baoshan Typica coffee has made great progress, both in cultivation and processing technology, with very few defective beans. Emerald green color, moisture content 11.2%, raw bean aroma is much less straw-like than before. I use medium roast Agtron 58, extending the development period, making the tea sensation much weaker than before, highlighting floral and wild fruit flavors, with moderate richness.

Here, I hope our Chinese coffee professionals and coffee lovers will support coffee that belongs to us Chinese people.

Baoshan Small-Bean Coffee

Baoshan is one of the four major coffee producing regions in Yunnan Province, China. Baoshan small-bean coffee is a specialty of Baoshan's Lujiang in Yunnan, a national geographical indication product, and one of the best coffee qualities in China and even globally. It's a pure Arabica ancient variety—Typica, with uniform and full beans, fresh aroma, rich fragrance, mellow taste, featuring richness without intensity. It's the same variety as the world-famous Blue Mountain coffee. It enjoys global renown for its unique excellent quality: in the late 1950s, it was rated as first-class in the London market, earning the beautiful name "Lujiang No. 1"; at the 1980 National Coffee Conference, it was recognized as the "Crown of National Coffee."
