This naturally processed coffee has fruity flavour notes, featuring juicy mango, pineapple acidity, followed by a smooth molasses texture and aftertaste.
The production of this coffee is spearheaded by Mr Tian Cai, who is the Farm Operations Manager of Yunnan Coffee Traders (YCT), with family member Mr Xiang Tang managing the farm on a day-to-day basis. They belong to a small group of farmer families in the Guiben region. The coffee cherries are grown by these farms as well as purchased directly from nearby smallholder farmers.
Their principal motivations in the production of specialty coffee are two-fold. Firstly, to bring sustainable livelihoods to their families and those of the local smallholder farmers in the surrounding area. Secondly, to return the land back to greater biodiversity. As a result, they are planting macadamia trees, mangoes, and oranges amongst the tea and coffee fields.
We are really proud to bring these wonderful coffees to a wider audience.
