Baima, China
Regular price £14.10The Baima farm is located in the Yunnan province and is run by Laicheng Dong. It is named after the mountain where the coffee grows, which translates to ‘white horse’. Laicheng returned to his home town in 2010 and has been growing coffee ever since. Local restrictions on waste water mean that he is focused on producing natural and honey process coffees.
Responsible for over 97% of China’s coffee production, Yunnan is mountainous and fertile. Over half of its coffee production is concentrated around Pu’er - a region famous for centuries old tea traditions. The focus on specialty coffee is relatively recent, with the past decade seeing smaller coffee farms and producers improving their knowledge and skills to produce better quality coffee.
Coffee was first cultivated in China in the late 1800s on a small scale, introduced by French missionaries in Yunnan. Production at scale didn’t take off for nearly 100 years, despite government initiatives back in the 1960s. It was in 1988, as part of another government-led project assisted by the United Nations Development Program and the World Bank, that coffee began to be commercially produced for export through companies such as Nestle.
