Your guide to China Coffee

  • History of coffee in China

    Coffee was introduced to Yunnan, China during the late 19th century by French settlers. Throughout the 20th century, coffee saw little popularity as a cash crop. This changed during the 1980s when the government made the decision to support the industry with the help of large companies. Production then boomed, resulting in China now being positioned as a major global supplier of coffee. It ranks first for coffee yield per unit area, which indicates how prominent their production figures have become. Most coffee is grown in the Yunnan region, and crops are mostly arabica varietals. Chinese coffee has a complex nutty yet fruity flavour with a medium acidity. Some tasting notes can involve peanuts, cream, chocolate, and fruit.

  • When is the best time to source Chinese coffee?

    Since the Chinese coffee harvest season typically lasts from December to March, it is best to plan your sourcing well ahead of this period. There aren’t too many other harvesting seasons for this origin, but some regions begin their harvests around October. You can expect green coffee shipments to begin around April onwards.

  • How to buy and import coffee from Burundi

    Looking at coffee farms in the Yunnan region is a great way to begin sourcing Chinese coffee. This region is home to the majority of China’s coffee production. Organisations such as Yunnan Coffee Traders can help to connect you to farms, and provide in-depth information on all you may need to know. If you are interested in a specific farm, it is then best to contact them directly. Then you can get to know the coffee producers and build a stable relationship with them. If possible, you can organise a visit in person for a hands-on experience. Otherwise, try to take part in a virtual tour. If you are happy with your Chinese coffee supplier, you can then begin finalising your deals. Always make sure that you supplier is able to provide all of the correct documentation and certification.

  • What makes Chinese coffee special?

    Chinese coffee offers some distinct flavours that you won’t find anywhere else in the world. The coffee growing farms in Yunnan provide excellent conditions for arabica growth, and its terroir provides really shines through a well extracted cup. The land’s fertile and volcanic soil thrives in sub-tropical climate and cool evenings. This allows Chinese coffee to grow into a beverage which is balanced with smooth sweetness, and bright nuttiness.
