Estate Story

Baoshan District in Yunnan Province is renowned for its high-quality coffee. The history of coffee cultivation here dates back to 1952, making it the first large-scale coffee-growing region in China. Located on a low-latitude plateau, Baoshan has a unique three-dimensional climate, "one mountain with four seasons, different weather every ten miles," making it ideal for coffee cultivation.

Unique Flavor

This coffee has distinct flavors of orange, black tea, and lime soda, with moderate acidity and a rich, layered taste. The anaerobic washed processing method imparts these flavor characteristics, making it highly favored in both domestic and international markets.

Coffee Variety and Processing

Catimor 14A is a hybrid of Timor and Caturra, known for its disease resistance and high yield, making it suitable for cultivation at lower altitudes. The anaerobic washed processing method involves fermenting the coffee cherries in a sealed environment, followed by fermentation in water, resulting in a fresh flavor and clean taste.

Awards and Recognition

Yunnan coffee has gained widespread recognition in the international market for its high-quality beans and unique flavors. For instance, Yunnan coffee is used by international brands like Starbucks and Nestlé and has won numerous awards in various international coffee competitions.

Project Background

Since 2016, Hong Kong MEDICARE has been working in the mountainous areas of Yunnan, collaborating with local smallholder families to improve farmers' cultivation knowledge and management systems. Through community care development projects, they have enhanced farmers' enthusiasm for nature and coffee cultivation. These measures not only help improve coffee quality but also increase farmers' income and living standards.
