About this coffee…

This is a rich and complex coffee with pronounced tropical fruit flavours, caramel sweetness and full body. It has tasting notes of Ripe pineapple, demerara sugar, fruit and nut chocolate.

This coffee originates from Shigaoqing and Guiben, an area traditionally famous for its exceptional tea. Based in a remote part of Yunnan, east of Pu’er City and close to the Laos border, the region is home to many ethnic minorities including Hani, Miao, Dai and others. The production of this coffee is spearheaded by Mr Tian Cai, who is the Farm Operations Manager for their origin partners, Yunnan Coffee Traders (YCT), with family member Mr Tang managing the farm on a day to day basis. They belong to a small group of farmer families in the Guiben region of Yunnan province. Cherries are grown by these farms as well as purchased directly from nearby smallholder farmers.

Cherries are spread and dried on raised beds for 4-5 weeks prior to hulling, to remove the outer layers of fruit before sorting, grading and bagging.
