Why Does Starbucks, a Coffee Industry Giant, Favor Yunnan So Much?

This is because Yunnan has exceptionally favorable coffee growing conditions. Its latitude, climate, terrain, and altitude make the Yunnan small-grain coffee produced there rich without bitterness, fragrant without being overpowering, with a slight fruity note. In recent years, its reputation both domestically and internationally has continued to grow. Currently in China, whether in terms of planting area or production, it accounts for over 99% of the national total.

Bitun Coffee & Yunnan Coffee: What is Specialty Coffee?

▼

It refers to coffee made from green beans grown in a few extremely ideal geographical environments that have excellent flavor characteristics.

Undoubtedly, located in the Lujiangba area of the Gaoligong Mountains in Yunnan, belongs to one of these "few extremely ideal geographical environments."

And Bitun Coffee Plantation is located on the north side of Lujiangba in the Gaoligong Mountains of Yunnan, at an altitude of over 1200M, occupying an exclusive high-quality planting base of ten thousand acres. The natural advantages of climate and geographical conditions here have achieved Bitun's high-altitude quality coffee.

High Altitude and Quality Coffee

Bitun Coffee is high-altitude quality coffee, so how does high altitude achieve quality coffee?

● The higher the altitude, the higher the content of amino acids and other aromatic substances in coffee.

● Higher altitude → Lower temperature → Longer growth period of coffee beans → More nutrient accumulation;

● Meanwhile, lower temperature → Harder coffee bean texture → Better expansibility → More conducive to storage, preservation, and roasting.

Gaoligong Mountains and Quality Coffee

Bitun Coffee plantation, in addition to having the natural advantage of high altitude in the Gaoligong Mountains, the latitude, terrain, climate conditions, and vegetation of the Gaoligong Mountains are key to achieving Bitun Manor's quality coffee.

● Tropical rainforest climate: Currently the highest latitude and altitude recorded tropical rainforest in the world, very suitable for the growth of Arabica (small-grain coffee).

● Large temperature difference between day and night: Gives coffee sufficient dormancy time to convert nutrients.

Therefore, Bitun Coffee has a natural advantage in growing high-altitude quality coffee, only planting Arabica coffee beans, with main varieties being Typica and Bourbon.

Among them, Arabica is mostly used for freshly ground and specialty coffee, while Robusta is generally used for making instant and canned coffee.

Typica and Bourbon currently planted and produced by Bitun Coffee both belong to the Arabica category.

Moreover, Typica and Bourbon are varieties within Arabica that have higher quality and richer flavor profiles—

In the 1950s, experts aided by the Soviet Union already brought the two mainstream Arabica varieties of the world:

Typica

Bourbon

to Baoshan, Yunnan for cultivation and promotion, receiving high praise.

Today, Typica and Bourbon have become specialty coffee varieties with higher quality than Arabica.
