Strawberry Roan, China

Strawberry, Cacao, Honey

China may not be the first country one thinks of as an origin for specialty coffee - yet we feel we owe it to the team at Indochina Coffee for bringing this sensation to our attention way back in 2019 - a coffee that has only gone from strength to strength in the 7 years since then.

This coffee was produced and processed by Tang Xiang and Tian Cai, part of a small group of farmer families in Guiben, a remote part of Yunnan close to the Laos border. This province is traditionally associated with exceptional tea, but more recently it has gained significant attention for complex coffees with fruity, bright profiles.

Strawberry Roan reminds us of classic red and yellow teas. Sweet, subtle ferment-like profile, floral with a long and lingering strawberry finish. The name embraces those in our community celebrating Lunar New Year, with this year being the Year of the Horse.
