THE PRODUCER

We began buying Yunnan coffee under Li Jiang Rong, a pillar of the local Lahu community, from both Kaku and the nearby Dongka washing station. Lao Zhang and his family harvest cherries from their farm and surrounding lands, up to an elevation of 1800m. Their home and facility are nestled on the edge of the local village.

FIELD

FAMILIAR FLAVOURS.
CAREFULLY CURATED

The coffee grows at high elevation in the fertile, mist drenched mountains of Yunnan, close to the Myanmar border. Washed coffees are first pulped and then dry-fermented for around 18 hours. The coffee is then sun-dried, and raked by hand by the family, on Mr Zhang’s beautiful drying patios.

Please note we only hold limited stock of these products, but we aim to roast at least two times a week (T&Cs apply)

How to brew


We normally lean toward filter brewing for the producer series as the method highlights the more complex and delicate flavours in lighter roasted coffee. As always, we default to the industry standard of 60g of coffee per litre of water as a starting point.

For espresso try a 1:2.5 brew ratio and shot times of around 24-30 seconds.
