From the hills of Fuyan Farm comes a coffee that dances on the palate with vibrant intensity. Each sip reveals playful candy notes - think blue raspberry, luscious lychee, and juicy purple grape - creating an experience that's both invigorating and nuanced. This liveliness stems from meticulous harvesting where only peak-ripe cherries make the cut.

The magic continues during a seven-day sealed fermentation process, where natural enzymes work to amplify the fruit-forward profile. After this transformation, the cherries rest on elevated drying beds, preserving their brilliant characteristics while ensuring a clean finish. This careful handling enhances the coffee's natural sweetness and lively acidity, resulting in remarkable balance.

Behind this exceptional cup stands a dedicated team - Mr. Li, Mrs. Na, and the skilled Lahu pickers - whose collaborative expertise shines through in every batch. This coffee brilliantly showcases Yunnan's emerging potential in the specialty coffee world, with its vivid candy-sweet profile and refreshing clarity setting a new standard for the region.
