FrontStreet Coffee - Yunnan Small Bean Coffee Introduction
The first coffee seed to take root and sprout in Yunnan can be traced back to 1892, more than 120 years ago, when a French missionary brought coffee seeds into Yunnan from abroad.
Yunnan's geographical conditions and climatic advantages can be described as uniquely favorable for coffee cultivation. Low latitude, high altitude, and high forest coverage have all created an excellent ecological environment for coffee growth.
In addition to these inherent advantages, the vast land resources suitable for coffee cultivation and the policy of returning farmland to forests have laid the foundation for the development of the coffee industry. Combined with the low cultivation costs in the early stages of coffee industry development (which no longer offers significant advantages today), these factors indirectly contributed to Yunnan becoming China's main coffee-producing region.
Advantages
More than 99% of Arabica coffee beans in China are produced in Yunnan. The western and southern regions of Yunnan Province have many mountains and slopes, with varied terrain, abundant sunshine and annual rainfall, and significant temperature differences between day and night - all of which are essential conditions for the growth of high-quality Arabica coffee. After lengthy development and optimization, Yunnan has formed four major coffee-producing regions: Pu'er, Dehong, Baoshan, and Lincang.
Pu'er
The Tropic of Cancer passes through Pu'er, making it a golden zone for coffee cultivation. Pu'er has a long history of coffee cultivation. In the late 19th century, British and French missionaries crossed the border from Myanmar to counties such as Lancang and Menglian, built churches in villages like Nuofu, Nanling, and Jingxin to spread their faith, and brought coffee seeds for cultivation. It has a soft fruity acidity and caramel flavor.
From scattered cultivation to industrialized cultivation in the late 1980s, and now to the present day, more than 60% of "Yunnan Small Bean Coffee" comes from Pu'er. With the largest cultivation area, highest yield, and best quality, it has also become an important distribution center for international coffee business, truly earning its title as the "Coffee Capital"!
Knowledge Extension: Most coffee currently planted in Yunnan is Catimor, a hybrid of the Caturra branch of the Bourbon lineage within Arabica species and Robusta species.
