Details

This farm holds a special place in the world of coffee. It all began in the charming village of Tiancai, spearheaded by one of the leaders at Yunnan Coffee Traders. Tiancai initially started as a roaster and eventually transitioned into farm management. Nestled in the picturesque Xishuangbanna region at an elevation of 1620 meters above sea level, the Guiben farm produces a modest 8 tons of coffee per year, harvested between November and February.
As Tiancai’s expertise in specialty coffee has grown, so has his passion for creating something unique on his family's land in Yiwu Xishuangbanna. Together with the skilled farm manager, Mr. Chen, they produce exceptional honey-processed, natural, and high-ferment natural coffees. These high-ferment naturals are placed in oxygen-free containers for a brief period before being meticulously dried on raised African-style beds for 4-5 weeks. The coffee is then grouped into thicker layers and left to dry for an additional 25 days. The cherries are run through density channels before being spread out on drying patios for approximately 5-8 days.
Guiben offers a consistently high-quality cup every harvest. The local tribes, including the Akha, Dai, and Lahu, play a crucial role as the pickers in the Xishuangbanna region. The elevation of over 1620 meters brings out exquisite notes of rum, dark chocolate, dried fruit, and a medium body.
