A LITTLE SOMETHING TO READ

Story & history

From Yunnan farms to the cup

This account describes a tradition or story, rather than an established historical fact.

Yunnan coffee-growing areas include Baoshan, Pu’er, Dehong and Lincang. The harvested seeds are processed, roasted and ground before brewing. Yunnan coffee is a regional origin, not one fixed roast, cultivar or branded product.
