Asian Coffees – Unique Flavors from the Far East

Asia is a continent that is increasingly making its mark in the coffee world. Although for years beans from South America and Africa predominated, today Asian coffee is an indispensable part of the global specialty market. In our store, you will find carefully selected coffees from Asia, which stand out not only for their unique flavor profile but also for the stories behind their creation. They come from renowned plantations in China, Indonesia, Taiwan, Laos, Vietnam, as well as India, the Philippines, and Thailand.

Why try coffee from Asia?

Coffee from Asia offers a completely different world of flavors than coffees from America or Africa. Heavier, more earthy notes dominate, but increasingly also sweetness, citrus, and surprising acidity, especially in the case of Arabica varieties from China, Taiwan, or northern Laos. Importantly, Asian producers are increasingly experimenting with fermentations, controlled drying, and modern technologies, which translates into exceptional bean quality.

In our store, you will find whole bean coffee from Asia, which we select after thorough cupping tests. Most of the coffees we offer, we have tasted ourselves – so we know exactly what you can expect from each bean. You can be sure that you only get coffees that we would want in our own cups.

What does Asian coffee taste like?

It is difficult to speak of a single, common flavor profile for the entire continent. Coffee from India or Indonesia often features a full body, low acidity, and notes of chocolate, spices, nuts, and tobacco in the cup. On the other hand, coffee from China, Taiwan, or northern Laos surprises with its cleanliness and a more fruity profile. In the best Asian beans, you will find flavors comparable to coffees from Kenya or Colombia – citrus, jasmine, tea, and sometimes even distinctive floral accents.

In recent years, producers from Asia have been intensely developing fermentation methods: anaerobic, honey, washed, natural, or experimental process are no longer an exception, but the norm on plantations in Vietnam, China, or Thailand. Thanks to this, today you can taste the best coffee from Asia in a quality that was hard to imagine a decade ago.

Coffee from China – a rising star of the specialty market

One of the most fascinating directions today is whole bean coffee from China. Regions such as Yunnan or Guizhou offer coffees with a bright, tea-like profile with discernible notes of peach, jasmine, bergamot, or melon. Chinese Arabica is grown at altitudes of 1200 to 1800 meters above sea level, and more and more farms are investing in controlled fermentations and processing, which give the beans a unique character.

In our offer, you will find coffees from China sourced from farms collaborating with the best roasteries in the world. These are beans that are definitely worth discovering, especially if you are looking for something new and fresh.
