English Translation:
The plantation is located in the Gaoyan Village Group, Pishi Village Committee, Sudian Lisu Ethnic Township, Yingjiang County, Dehong Prefecture. It lies at 25.1 degrees north latitude and 97.85 degrees east longitude, with an altitude of 1,6001,650 meters. The average annual temperature is 13.3?C, with a maximum temperature of 30?C and a minimum temperature of -4?C. The annual sunshine duration is 1,5001,800 hours, and the annual precipitation is 3,500 mm.
The plantation is surrounded by 78 dormant volcanoes, from which it derives its name. Legend has it that during the rainy season, deep green pools form in the volcanic craters. Towering trees grow around the craters, but the fallen leaves never stay in the center of the pools. Instead, a mysterious force pushes the leaves to the edges, keeping the water surface clean and sacred. Local villagers regard this place as a resting spot for a “divine dragon” and keep their distance, unintentionally preserving the ecological environment around the craters. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, a national geological team performed a special treatment on the pool (driving a 2-meter-long copper needle into the crater), and the pool disappeared thereafter…
The volcanic ash soil is rich in trace elements and minerals, making it highly suitable for coffee cultivation. This creates an original ecological advantage characterized by “high latitude, high altitude, fertile soil, abundant rainfall, significant temperature differences, and long growth cycles.”
The coffee variety was introduced in 2017 from the native Ethiopian Yirgacheffe species. Through the joint efforts of experts from the Dehong Tropical Crops Research Institute and Dehong Teachers’ College, the variety was genetically reconfigured and cultivated in an isolated area. After years of meticulous cultivation and management, the 2024 harvest season yielded nearly 30 kg of green coffee beans from this Ethiopian native species. This marks another milestone for Yunnan coffee, following the success of Bourbon, Typica, and Geisha varieties!
