What Does Yunnan Arabica Beans Taste Like?

This coffee combines bright citrus and berry characteristics with softer floral and nutty notes.

Lemon & Lemon Leaf

The citrus character gives the coffee a fresh and lively edge without making the cup feel heavy.

Blueberry & Sweet Berries

Berry notes add fruit sweetness and a more expressive flavour dimension.

Jasmine & White Floral Notes

The lighter floral aromatics bring a more delicate character to the cup and help make the coffee feel more refined.

Hazelnut

Hazelnut provides a rounder, nuttier element that balances the brighter citrus and berry notes.

Wheat

The wheat note adds a subtle grain-like character that contributes to the overall complexity of the cup.

The result is a coffee that can feel bright and aromatic, but still balanced and approachable.

What Does Fully Washed Coffee Mean?

This coffee uses a Fully Washed process.

In this method, the fruit surrounding the coffee seed is removed before the beans are dried.

For the drinker, fully washed coffees are often chosen for a cleaner and more defined cup profile, allowing individual flavour characteristics to show more clearly.

For this Yunnan coffee, that helps highlight:

lemon + blueberry + floral aromatics + hazelnut + sweet berries.

Why Does the 1,600m Altitude Matter?

The coffee is grown at approximately 1,600 metres above sea level.

Higher-altitude growing conditions can contribute to slower cherry development and more developed flavour characteristics.

For the customer, the altitude helps explain why this coffee can show several distinct layers — from citrus and berries to floral and nutty notes — rather than tasting one-dimensional.

Why Medium Roast?

The medium roast helps preserve the origin character of the beans while still giving the coffee enough development for a balanced cup.

This makes it a good option if you enjoy:

• bright but approachable coffee

• citrus and berry notes

• floral aromatics

• some nutty sweetness

• medium roast rather than very light or very dark coffee

Recommended Brewing Styles

Pour-Over / Filter Coffee

A particularly good option if you want to highlight the coffee's:

lemon + blueberry + jasmine + white floral notes.

Espresso

Suitable for espresso drinkers who prefer a brighter and more aromatic shot rather than a traditional dark, bitter profile.

Americano

A good way to open up the citrus, berry and floral characteristics in a longer drink.

Iced Black Coffee

The lemon and berry characteristics can make this an interesting coffee served over ice.

Milk-Based Coffee

The hazelnut and sweet berry characteristics can also work with milk, although milk will naturally soften some of the brighter floral and citrus notes.

Your final cup will depend on grind size, water, brewing ratio, temperature and extraction.
