China Gui Ben

Roaster notes

This honey-processed coffee comes from Xishuangbanna in China's Yunnan province, an area traditionally renowned for its exceptional tea production near the Laos border. The cup delivers bright lemon notes alongside black tea character and caramel sweetness, reflecting the unique terroir of this remote growing region where smallholder farmers cultivate their cherries at elevations between 1,400-1,630 meters above sea level.
