Description

China - Gui Ben. dark chocolate, red grape, marmalade. Often renowned for their speciality tea growing pedigree, we've made a foray in to the Yunnan province of China for our first plunge in their speciality coffee scene. We've seen the asian coffee scene explode in the last ten years; with more and more speciality coffee roasters in the UK taking a punt on these incredible origins, not often sold in the UK, especially not in Cumbria when they first hit the speciality market, and now, a commonplace sight - but for us, a small batch roastery in only our third year, we've been yet to find a place for our first Chinese offering; until now.. Flavor profile: Chocolate.
