Taste & Roast Yunnan Coffee at a Family Roastery

Taste some of Yunnan’s best coffee with a family roasting it for 30+ years.

We had such a wonderful experience at this coffee workshop with a local Yunnan coffee-roasting family! Phoebe was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the whole workshop. It was a real pleasure listening to her speak so passionately about coffee and sharing her knowledge with us.

We learned so much, not only about coffee itself, but also about the different beans, where they come from, and the entire roasting process. What made the experience especially memorable was how personal and authentic it felt.

At the end, we even had the opportunity to roast our own coffee beans, which we could take home with us. It was such a fun way to finish the workshop and have a little piece of the experience to remember.

We would definitely recommend this workshop to anyone interested in coffee, especially if you want to learn more about Yunnan coffee from people who are genuinely passionate about it. Thank you, Phoebe, for such a lovely and educational experience! ☕️❤️

We had a great time learning about the history of coffee in Yunnan and trying coffee from different locations. Roasting coffee beans ourselves was awesome and we look forward to try them at home.
 Our host Phoebe was lovely and we really enjoyed our time with her and her team :)

The coffee omakase with Phoebe ended up being one of the best surprises of the trip. We were there for four to six hours, and it never felt long. 

The venue itself was picturesque enough to just sit in, and Phoebe walked us through the history of Yunnan coffee since her family are some of the region's main distributors and educators on it. 

In between, we spent a good chunk of time with the resident goats and cats wandering around the property. It felt less like a tasting and more like an afternoon at someone's actual home.

The coffee experience was so enjoyable, and Pheobe was not only really friendly but also really knowledgeable especially with how her family were some of the pioneers of the coffee industry in Yunnan! 

Tasting the different beans was something I really liked, especially as someone who loves coffee, but my favourite moment had to be learning to roast coffee beans by hand! Also extra plus points for their space being gorgeous and set with the mountains in the background!

This is definitely a must do experience if you are in Lijiang and love coffee! 

I've done a few coffee tasting experiences before but this one is really cool because I got to roast my own coffee beans for the first time. Plus, the space itself is gorgeous. Phoebe's family designed and built it - there's a big garden, cats wandering around and snow mountains in the background. It's hard not to love this place.

What's interesting is that Yunnan's specialty coffee scene is relatively new (only about 10 years old), and Phoebe's family were one of the OG's who switched from commercial instant coffee to exploring specialty coffee in Yunnan back in 2018 - so it was pretty cool to learn from them.

We got to smell many different beans from different regions across Yunnan and learn why they all taste so different (climate, altitude, rainfall etc). We learnt from Phoebe that some tea plantations in Pu'er are also growing coffee because its more profitable, and the result is a very unique tea like quality to coffee which you can't find anywhere else in the world. 

Then, we did a proper tasting where we picked 3 different beans (including the tea-like coffee bean) to try. It's all pour over style and Phoebe explains what makes each one special. We could tell how much Phoebe loves what she does. She's very fluent in English (studied in the States) and explains everything so clearly and patiently, no matter what level of coffee knowledge you come in with. She also served us delicious homemade pastries to go along! It was pumpkin season when we went so we had a yummy pumpkin cheesecake.

Lastly, manual roasting. Phoebe's dad believes manual roasting is far superior to the high-tech machine roasting where everything is controlled by graphs and data, In fact, it's a requirement for all his barista students to master manual roasting before anything else. So we got to do it ourselves - hand roasting for 10 mins under Phoebe's guidance. She then bagged them up and we got to write our names on it.

This is something I'll be recommending to all my friends if they come to Lijiang :)
