Fuyan

Our second year with Li and Nanuo, delving into the unique character of Chinese coffee: tart acidity & red berries.

Produced by Li and Nanuo, Fuyan represents the growing specialty coffee landscape in China. This specific lot is roasted by Obadiah Coffee, a roaster known for highlighting distinct regional characteristics. When evaluating coffees with tart acidity and red berry profiles, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better categorize the nuances of fruit-forward profiles.

While flavor profiles are often influenced by processing methods—with natural-processed coffees frequently exhibiting heavier fruit notes and washed coffees often showcasing cleaner, more vibrant acidity—the specific character of a coffee is ultimately a reflection of its unique terroir and the producer's post-harvest techniques. Fuyan offers a compelling look at the output from Li and Nanuo, providing a bright, berry-driven experience that invites drinkers to explore the evolving potential of Chinese coffee production.
