Yunnan coffee winning fans worldwide

Pu'er, a city located in a mountainous region of Southwest China's Yunnan province, is famous for its Pu'er tea, a type of fermented tea. However, of late, it has also quietly become a major production hub for China's coffee industry, boasting the nation's largest cultivation area, highest yields and most refined beans.

At Yunnan Simao Beigui Coffee Co Ltd's plantation in Pu'er's Nandaohe Village, workers and farmers are busily involved in washing, pulping, fermenting and drying fresh coffee beans. Each step of the process has been meticulously crafted to ensure the preservation of flavor and quality.

Soon, these beans will be loaded onto trucks and begin their journey to reach coffee shops in booming Chinese cities such as Shanghai and Chengdu, Sichuan province, and also boutique roasters in countries like the Netherlands and Germany.
