Single Origin: Yunnan

New Beans! Taste the beans that everyone find better than our previous, already fantastic, Yunnan beans!
Medium bodied and mellow. This high quality coffee from southern China is intriguingly fresh with notes of passion fruit and chocolate. Roasted medium to retain it’s individual flavor.

We've gotten some more feedback on this coffee bean and it's universally positive. We especially believe the new roast brings out more of the delicate flavors that get destroyed in darker roasts. Personally I prefer it as a French Press, but drip filter works perfectly fine as well. As an espresso I've been less convinced, but then again blends are the ideal coffee for espressos. We are working on a new blend, however, momentarily called Xanadu Espresso Blend, that includes this bean. I've not tried this in a Mocha pot (Italian stove top yet) but assume it's also less than ideal. For those, try our Caffè Primo or V. Espresso blends. I'm eager to see what this coffee tastes like in a vacuum pot (syphon).
