The Story

Nestled in Paliang, the heart of Yunnan’s largest coffee-growing region, Kaku Farm produces some of the province’s highest-scoring washed coffees. Established over 20 years ago by the late Mr. Li — a dedicated coffee farmer and champion of the local Lahu community — the farm continues his legacy today under the care of his family.

Kaku Farm is more than just a coffee farm. It’s a hub of support for local growers, many of whom travel from nearby Myanmar to harvest coffee each year. The farm provides seedlings, fertiliser, and pays above-market rates for coffee cherries, ensuring better livelihoods for pickers and their families. Beyond coffee, the farm nurtures a rich ecosystem of shade trees like camphor, rosewood, and Tianzhugui, used in traditional medicine.

Partnering with Yunnan Coffee Traders, pioneers of Chinese specialty coffee, this lot reflects a shared commitment to sustainability, quality, and transparency. Expect a clean, balanced cup — a true taste of Yunnan’s evolving specialty coffee scene.
