Discover this Chinese Fuyan Specialty Coffee in its 500-gram presentation, an exotic and exclusive variety that offers a different cup than what we usually taste. This 100% Catimor coffee offers a creamy cup with medium acidity, thanks to its natural process.

Natural Process of Chinese Fuyan Specialty Coffee

The Chinese Fuyan specialty coffee has a natural process that takes care of every detail from the plant. First, it is carefully hand-harvested with the aim of obtaining 99% ripe cherries. Then, the cherries are washed, floated, and defects are separated before processing. They are drained and left outdoors for 12-18 hours.
The coffee is then pulped and placed in barrels to ferment, until reaching 4.5ph. At that point, the coffee is washed and dried for a minimum of 14 days and up to 25 days, until reaching 11% humidity. This drying process is done in solar dryers (raised beds), continuously moving the coffee every 2 hours during the first days and at least 4 times a day thereafter.

Catimor Variety: compact and profitable

Within coffee beans, there are different plant varieties, fruits, and therefore beans (or seeds). These beans come from the Catimor variety, a hybrid between Caturra and Timor. It is a compact variety, resistant to pests, but still requires a lot of care and high altitude to achieve its optimal performance, according to World Coffee Research.

Chinese Coffee: a gem yet to be discovered

Coffee was first cultivated in China on a small scale at the end of the 19th century, introduced by French missionaries in Yunnan. Large-scale production did not take off for almost 100 years, despite government initiatives in the 1960s. It was in 1988, as part of another government-led project with assistance from the United Nations Development Program and the World Bank, that coffee began to be commercially produced for export.
The focus on specialty coffee is relatively recent; in the last decade, smaller coffee farms and producers improved their knowledge and skills, with processing techniques to produce higher quality coffee. Yunnan province is ideal for this, a mountainous and fertile land in southwest China, responsible for over 97% of China's coffee production. More than half of this production is concentrated around Pu'er, a region famous for its centuries-old tea tradition.

Specialty Coffee: guaranteed quality in every cup

Specialty coffee is synonymous with quality. These are beans that meet rigorous standards throughout their production process, from cultivation to roasting. Specialty coffees, like this one from China, are selected by experts and often receive high scores in professional cuppings.
At Cafés Mocaibo, we make sure that each bean retains its aroma and flavor through a process of artisanal roasting and exclusive storage. We guarantee that you will enjoy a unique experience in every cup.

FUYAN Estate

The production of this coffee is led by Mr. Tian Cai and Mr. Tang, who belong to a small group of farming families in the Guiben region of Yunnan province. These farms grow cherries and buy directly from nearby small farmers.

The main motivations of Tian Cai and Tang with the production of specialty coffee are twofold: to provide sustainable livelihoods for their families and those of the local small farmers nearby, as well as to restore greater biodiversity to the land: many farms focus on a commercial crop like bananas. As a result, they are planting macadamia, mango, and orange trees among the tea and coffee fields. Only organic fertilizer is used, supplied by YCT.
