China is known for its tea plantations and tea-drinking ceremonies. But did you know that the country have been producing coffee ever since 1902? French missionaries brought the first coffee sapling from Vietnam to Yunnan’s Binchuan county in 1902.

Yunnan’s specialty coffees have many unique qualities including nuttiness, fragrant spices, chocolate, tea and dried cherries flavor profiles. The latitudinal position of Yunnan means there are much cooler temperatures at night at higher altitudes which provides a much sweeter quality to the bean.
