Primary Growing Regions

Arabica coffee is suitable for growing on mountainous terrain at altitudes between 800-1800 meters. If the altitude is too high, the taste becomes sour; if too low, it becomes bitter. Most Arabica coffee is planted in the dry-hot valley regions around 1100 meters altitude, resulting in moderate acidity, rich aroma, and mellow flavor. Many areas in Yunnan have unique environments suitable for Arabica coffee cultivation, producing excellent quality Arabica coffee beans.

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, with basically no frost throughout the year, making it a recognized optimal growing region for Arabica coffee. The Arabica coffee cultivated here is renowned both domestically and internationally for being rich but not bitter, fragrant but not intense, with small and uniform beans, mellow and rich aroma, and fruity notes. International coffee organization tasting experts have evaluated Yunnan coffee as being in the same category as Colombian wet-processed Arabica coffee, representing high-quality coffee worldwide.

Yunnan Coffee Varieties

Typica, this classic high-quality coffee variety, is the main cultivated variety for this batch of coffee. Typica coffee originated in southeastern Ethiopia and Sudan and is the most widely cultivated coffee variety in the Western Hemisphere. The plants are relatively robust but not tolerant to strong sunlight, with higher yields in Hawaii. The top leaves of Typica are reddish-bronze, earning it the name "red-top coffee."

Growth Period

FrontStreet Coffee Yunnan coffee comes from 3-4 year old fruit-bearing trees.

Coffee is a short-day plant. Coffee has the characteristic of multiple flowering periods with concentrated blooming. Arabica 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 of only 2-3 days. Arabica coffee generally begins to open between 3-5 AM and reaches full bloom between 5-7 AM.

Coffee fruit development takes a relatively long time. Arabica coffee fruit takes 8-10 months to mature, generally ripening between October and December of the same year. Rainfall has a significant impact on fruit development, and climatic conditions directly affect the fruit quality.
