Yunnan China (Dongka)

I first tried Yunnan coffee in Japan. I hadn't really thought of Chinese coffee before since I think of China primarily as a tea producer. That coffee actually wasn't good (weak and cold) but I decided to look for it once I got back home.

Surprisingly it isn't easy to find. I'd never come across it when I had a biweekly subscription to coffees of the world.

Anyway I decided to try Haobaobao's. It tasted good right off the bat but then it took me a week or so to get dialed in.

After all that writing I don't have much to say about it. I'm not much of a note taster. What I can say is that this coffee is very flavorful and it's very tea like. It's unlike the florals I usually drink from East Africa or Latin America or the earthly tones of Java. It truly is a distinct flavor. Yes I like it and it's something I would offer other aficionados, just so for them to try something different.

One of the few places I’ve found selling coffee beans from Yunnan, China. Always freshly roasted, and they hip and arrive quickly

Service is really great as well! When the shipping company lost the package in transit, they roasted another bag and shipped it free of charge same-day!

Once I got this one dialed in it was a great pour over! Delicate and light, reminds me a little of Ethiopian. Been wanting to try a single-origin from China and this did not disappoint!
