China - Guiben

One of the best coffees we've had. So fruity! A limited edition coffee from China, a micro-lot coffee from the Guiben Farm. Guiben is a family-owned farm located in Yiwu Xishuangbanna. It was started by Tiancai, one of the leaders at Yunnan Coffee Traders. Guiben produces 8 tons of coffee per year. Local tribes are employed as pickers in the Xishuangbanna region. At Guiben, the Akha, Dai and Lahu tribes harvest the coffee cherry.

Coffee production takes place in the western Yunnan province, as well as in Pu’er, Baoshan, Dehong and Menglian. Most of the coffee produced in China is washed, however natural and honey processes can also be found.

This is a natural processed coffee. It is dried on raised African style drying beds for 4 to 5 weeks.
