Gui Ben, China - Red Bank

We’re always excited about Chinese coffee, and this one from Red Bank is here just in time for Chinese New Year!

These coffee beans come from the mountainous landscape of Xishuangbanna in Yunnan, near the Laos border. This region is better known for its tea production also offers ideal conditions for growing high quality, complex coffees. Mr Tian Cai and Mr Tang operate Gui Ben Washing Station, part of Yunnan Coffee Traders. Here, they process their own coffee as well as that of small farmers in the Guiben area, much of which is grown on fields intercropped with macadamia, mangoes and oranges.

This natural lot was dried for 4-5 weeks and graded on site. It’s super juicy, with distinctive papaya and honeysuckle flavour and lots of clarity that is typical of specialty coffees from this region.

Red Bank are a Lake District based coffee roastery who began their journey in 2015. From their unit in Kendal, Red Bank are guided by quality, traceability and sustainability, continually investing in their business to always push these principles.

Founder Tom became a certified Q-grader in 2019, they’ve got themselves a top of the range low-energy roaster, and moved to 100% LDPE coffee bags that are fully recyclable all in an effort to make a difference at every step of the supply chain.

Their coffee offering is pretty special too: with considerate sourcing and traceability as the absolute priority, and an equal focus on both expertly balanced blends and all the exciting new anaerobics that are sweeping the specialty coffee scene.
