China Yunnan

China Yunnan Espresso 

A journey to the heart of Asia. This robust Natural processed coffee from Yunnan delivers an intense, heavy body with deep notes of walnut and cacao. Purpose-built for espresso lovers who demand strength and character.

The Origin Story

Step away from the familiar and journey to the heart of Asia's burgeoning specialty scene: Yunnan, China. Cultivated at high altitudes where the climate is mild and the soil is rich, this coffee represents the dedication of pioneering farmers who are mastering the art of the Natural (Dry) Process. This method allows the coffee cherry to dry whole under the sun, infusing the bean with intense, complex sweetness and the unmistakable character of the earth. This robust origin is purpose-built to stand up to the high demands of any espresso machine.

Roast Philosophy

Roasted to a distinct Espresso Roast (Medium-Dark) profile, our aim is to develop maximum sweetness and body. This approach minimizes bright fruitiness and enhances the deep, classic notes of nut and cacao, ensuring a powerful and consistent extraction that cuts through milk perfectly.

Sensory Profile Deep Dive

This is a powerful, uncompromising espresso profile, perfect for those who seek depth and strength.

• Aroma: A comforting, deep scent of toasted almonds and sweet caramel right upon grinding.
• Body: A remarkably Full Body (Creamy and Syrupy). The texture is heavy and coating, delivering an authentic "old-school" espresso experience.
• Acidity: Low, with a subtle sweetness that balances the strength, keeping it smooth.
• Notes: Dominant notes of Walnut, rich Cacao, and a hint of Brown Sugar.
• Finish: A long, satisfying chocolate-nut finish that persists without bitterness.

Degassing Advice (Expert Tip)

For the very best results and to prevent volatile flavors, we strongly advise allowing these fresh beans a rest period. We recommend waiting 7 to 10 days post-roast date before pulling your first espresso shot.
