Brief (coffeeyo.com): On September 18, the 24th China Kunming International Flower Expo, together with the 2026 Yunnan Coffee Expo and 2026 Yunnan Tea Expo, opened in Kunming. Fourteen Baoshan coffee companies and three tea companies appeared at the event and held a dedicated promotion session, under the recurring banner “China’s coffee looks to Yunnan; fine coffee is in Baoshan.”

Kunming, September 19 (People’s Daily Online — Yin Xin) On September 18, the 24th China Kunming International Flower Expo, together with the IFEX Kunming International Flower & Horticulture Expo, the 2026 Yunnan Coffee Expo and the 2026 Yunnan Tea Expo, opened in Kunming, Yunnan. Fourteen Baoshan coffee companies and three tea companies appeared at the event and held a dedicated promotion session.

At the promotion session, “China’s coffee looks to Yunnan; fine coffee is in Baoshan” became a high-frequency phrase. Through industry promotion, culture-tourism symbiosis presentations, talent showcases, company highlights and prize quizzes, visitors were able to deeply experience the unique charm of coffee and tea in limited time.

Baoshan — with the towering Gaoligong Mountains, the surging Nujiang River, and the Southern Silk Road running through it for a thousand years — carries both the profound heritage of millennia-old tea aroma and the vigorous vitality of “China’s first coffee village.” Li Tingjin, an expert with Baoshan’s coffee industry task force, explained that Baoshan’s coffee-growing history traces back to the late 19th century. Baoshan’s fine-coffee producing region lies in the world’s coffee-growing “golden belt” between 24 and 25 degrees north latitude, with planting areas spanning altitudes from 600 to 1,900 meters, an annual average temperature of 21.3°C, annual rainfall of 700–1,000 mm, and a frost-free “natural greenhouse” environment. Combined with volcanic-ash alluvial dry-red soil — deep, organic-rich, high in potassium and mildly acidic — Baoshan has become the only region in China capable of growing all arabica varietals.

The “Baoshan small-grain coffee” nurtured by this gifted soil is known for its distinctive flavor — rich but not bitter, aromatic but not harsh, with a slight fruity acidity — renowned worldwide since the 1950s and rated “China’s coffee champion” in 1980. Currently, Baoshan has cultivated premium varieties such as Typica, Bourbon and Geisha; its self-developed “Yunka” series has filled the gap in domestic high-end varieties. It was approved as a national geographical-indication protected product in 2010 and passed EU Geographical Indication (GI) certification in 2024, becoming one of the first Chinese coffee brands protected by the EU.

In recent years, Baoshan small-grain coffee has built a full “seed-to-cup” industry-chain system. From the ripe, full coffee cherries of Xinzhai Village — “China’s first coffee village” — to the advanced intelligent roasting factory in the Baoshan Small-Grain Coffee Industrial Park, to the fragrant cups in fine coffee manors, the tiny coffee bean has leveraged a whole industry. According to statistics, in 2025 Baoshan’s fine-coffee planting area reached 180,600 mu, with output of 26,800 tons, a fine-coffee rate above 75%, a deep-processing rate above 90%, and a comprehensive coffee output value of 22.328 billion yuan.

Another highlight of this expo was that guest-of-honor country Colombia, bringing its Andean fine coffee, appeared for its first in-depth dialogue and experience exchange with Yunnan’s Gaoligong Mountain coffee. “The expo builds a professional bridge for China-Colombia coffee-industry exchange, helping Baoshan coffee continuously enhance its brand influence,” said a staff member from a Baoshan coffee company on site.

According to the “5116” blueprint proposed in the Baoshan World Coffee Valley Development Plan, by 2035 Baoshan will achieve 500,000 mu of coffee planting, cultivate 100 coffee companies, build 100 coffee manors, and surpass 60 billion yuan in comprehensive output value, steadily consolidating its position as China’s core coffee supply base.

A single leaf, a single bean, is writing a brilliant chapter of high-plateau specialty agriculture on the fertile land of Baoshan.
