Yunnan, located in southern China, has long been renowned as a tea-growing region, with a history dating back over 1,000 years. Its diverse climate and high-altitude landscapes make it ideal for cultivating a variety of teas, including pu-erh, black, and green teas. In recent decades, Yunnan has also become an emerging coffee-growing region, benefiting from its favorable growing conditions. Today, the province produces both Arabica and Robusta coffee, with Arabica being dominant. Yunnan’s coffee is known for its fruity, floral, and tea-like characteristics, blending the region’s rich tea heritage with its growing coffee industry.
This coffee is handpicked at the desired ripeness measured by Brix. Mr. Wang, the producer of this coffee, has a mobility impairment in one leg, yet his dedication to caring for the coffee plants, handpicking the cherries, and overseeing the processing remains unwavering. His farm continues to produce tea, and is now 7 years into its coffee-growing journey. We hope you will enjoy this rare find of a coffee, and a story illustrating the fearlessness in face of change and challenges. Innovation, like resilience, is a decision and a commitment to pursue growth. This is a story we stand behind.
