【Cupping comment】 

 ① The sweetness of white peach and lychee that spreads throughout the mouth

② The flavor of tropical fruits such as pineapple

③ The refreshing aftertaste of jasmine tea with lingering hints of syrup and white wine sweetness

【From Barista】

The flavor of white peach that presses in from the moment it hits your tongue, followed by the sweetness of lychee that awaits you. This coffee has a fruity acidity that is not sharp and is pleasant to drink with a mellow texture.

This coffee has been one of LiLo Coffee’s long-time favorites, now in its fourth year with us!
Each year, the quality keeps improving, offering a cup with a gentle, lactic sweetness and smooth balance.

mporter｜MOUNTAIN MOVER

MOUNTAIN MOVER specializes in specialty coffees from Yunnan Province, China.
They have more than a dozen Q-graders in Japan and in China to ensure quality control, and we work directly with the farms to bring the best specialty coffees from Yunnan to Japan.

Yunnan Province

Yunnan Province is located on the southwestern frontier of China and is home to the largest ethnic minority population in the country. Bordered by Vietnam, Laos, and Myanmar in the south, the average altitude is around 1500-2200 m above sea level, and in the northwest by the Tibet Autonomous Region, the average altitude is between 3000-4000 m above sea level. Overall, the topography is complex, with large temperature differences between day and night, and the climate is diverse, resulting in a very rich flora and fauna, the largest number in the country.

This time, MOUNTAIN MOVER collaborated with the Degwang Tropical Crops Research Institute to create a honey process fermented with a yeast specifically designed for coffee. The DeGuang Tropical Crops Research Institute is dedicated to improving coffee varieties and raising seedlings every year, and is also dedicated to coffee processing.

Processing｜Yeast Fermentation Honey

In this honey process, ripe coffee cherries are first harvested, washed, and the coffee pulp is removed. Generally, the removed coffee pulp is used as fertilizer or as cascara tea, but in this refining process, the removed coffee pulp is collected and placed in a tank of water together with parchment coffee with mucilage. At the same time, a special yeast for coffee is added and the coffee is fermented for 150 hours. After fermentation, the coffee is not washed and goes directly to the drying stage.
