This coffee is produced and processed by Tang Xiang and Tian Cai, part of a small group of farmer families in Guiben, a remote region of Yunnan province near the Laos border. The area is traditionally known for exceptional tea but has recently gained attention for complex coffees with fruity, bright profiles. Tang and Tian intercrop their coffee and tea fields with macadamia, mango, and orange trees as part of their commitment to creating sustainable livelihoods and restoring biodiversity to the land.
Round Hill Roastery has been roasting in Radstock, a few miles south of Bath in Somerset, since 2012, when third wave specialty coffee was still in its early days in the UK. The focus from the start has been single farm and single estate coffees, sourcing the best seasonal harvests from independent growers and cooperatives and paying a premium for distinctive character. Roast profiles are designed to highlight the dynamic flavours naturally present in each coffee. Packaging is colour coded: blue bags for filter, pink for espresso. The roastery is open for tours where visitors can watch the roasting, taste the house blend, and learn about sourcing.
