Yunlan Estate

We continue to uncover the subtlety of character in Chinese coffees through two lots from Yunnan: red berries & a creamy finish.

The Yunnan region has rapidly emerged as a significant origin for specialty coffee within China, with producers like the Yunlan Estate leading the way in quality-focused cultivation. As the industry continues to evolve in this part of the world, estates are increasingly experimenting with processing techniques that highlight the unique terroir of the high-altitude landscape. When evaluating these profiles, it is helpful to consult the flavor wheel to better identify the nuances of the cup.

This specific offering from Obadiah Coffee showcases the potential of the region, presenting a profile defined by bright red berries and a distinctively creamy finish. While coffees from this area often display a wide range of characteristics depending on the harvest and processing methods, this lot provides a clear, approachable example of the estate's output. It serves as a compelling entry point for those looking to explore the growing diversity of Chinese specialty coffee.
