Hello everyone! It has been awhile since we’ve posted information about a coffee origin, as it’s been awhile since we’ve had new information to present to you. Recently we’ve been in talks with a trader from China, who has presented us with an offer to sell specialty Yunnan-grown coffee to North America. 

Below are the notes we got our contact in China. In regards to the price, these are still estimates, as the freight rate used in our calculation can be confirmed only if/when the order gets shipped.  This should help you to get a ballpark figure as to what the final price would be. 

Chinese Coffee Details

Our Ask

Please let me know if there were any varieties from this list that you want. As you can imagine, it puts us in a tough position if we get told you’re interested and then when we bring in the coffee, you back out. Since it is our first order of Chinese coffee, we will be placing the order if we get enough interest from customers like you.

If you are interested in placing an order, or curious to learn more, please contact us either using our Contact Us form, or by calling 905-415-0778 x 213 (Muhammed Abbas’s extension). 

If we can get the order set up in the next few weeks, then we can forecast that the shipment to be in our warehouse around the end of November. Of course, this depends on if/when we put an order in for this coffee, and how quick it is to get the container and the coffee on board.
