Estate Story

Yunnan's Baoshan District is an important region for coffee cultivation in China with a long history of coffee planting. Since the large-scale cultivation of coffee began in 1952, the coffee industry in Baoshan District has continued to grow and prosper. Located in a low latitude plateau, Baoshan District enjoys favorable climatic conditions that are very suitable for coffee growth. The coffee cultivation here takes place in a high-altitude environment with fertile soil, abundant sunlight, and moderate rainfall, providing a guarantee for the production of high-quality coffee.

Unique Flavor

This coffee has distinct chestnut and maple sugar flavors, moderate acidity, rich texture, and clear layers. The honey processing method gives the coffee a sweet flavor and silky texture, making it suitable for coffee enthusiasts who enjoy sweet and complex flavors.

Coffee Variety and Processing

Catimor 14A is a variety created by crossing Timor and Caturra, known for its disease resistance and high yield advantages, making it very suitable for cultivation in lower altitude areas. These coffee beans have strong adaptability to the environment during growth and can resist various diseases. The honey processing method involves removing the skin of the coffee cherry while retaining some pulp and mucilage, then naturally sun-drying it. This processing method gives the coffee beans a unique flavor and sweet taste, especially appealing to coffee enthusiasts who appreciate rich flavors.

Awards and Recognition

Yunnan coffee has gained widespread recognition in the international market for its high-quality beans and unique flavors. For example, Yunnan coffee has been selected by international major brands such as Starbucks and Nestlé, and has won numerous awards in various international coffee competitions.

Project Background

Since 2016, Hong Kong MEDICARE has entered the mountainous areas of Yunnan and collaborated with local small farming families to improve farmers' planting knowledge and management systems. Through community development projects, they aim to enhance the enthusiasm of farmers for nature and coffee cultivation. These measures not only help improve the quality of coffee but also increase farmers' income and living standards.

Sip Coffee Brand Story:

"Sip Coffee" is not just a coffee shop, but a unique place to experience the flavor of coffee. At the beginning of its establishment, founder Tim did not seek to create groundbreaking works; instead, he focused on exploring the true essence of "comfort" and "relaxation." Every day at Sip Coffee is a new answer to these two questions, exploring infinite possibilities in life.

At Sip Coffee, Tim personally manages the operations, allowing him to be closer to each customer, understanding their every moment and need. For him, coffee is not just a beverage but a profound relationship in life, filled with different emotions and layers.

In selecting beans at Sip Coffee, they also offer coffee beans from the Ninety Plus estate, which is not just a choice but also a destiny. These coffee beans, with their delicate texture, unique flavors, balance, and overall experience, perfectly align with Sip Coffee's brand philosophy. Tim believes that good coffee, like the beautiful things in life, should be balanced and harmonious.

At Sip Coffee, it's not just about coffee but sharing a lifestyle attitude. Just like a restaurant themed around caviar, where caviar plays the lead role but the uniqueness of each dish is equally important. Each cup of coffee at Sip Coffee embodies the highest commitment to quality and a passion for the art of taste.

Welcome to Sip Coffee, let's savor every drop of life's excitement together.
