Though it produces some of China’s best quality specialty coffee, Li Jiang Rong turned Kaku into so much more than a coffee farm. Kaku is a hub for the Lahu community, Chinese coffee growers, and the growing Asian specialty coffee industry- processing coffee from smallholders in the Yunnan region and neighbouring Myanmar.

Mr Li’s son is dedicated to continuing his legacy, both by producing and exporting quality coffee and offering above-market rates for coffee cherries to improve the livelihoods of their local community.

Washed lots like this one are their bread and butter, producing high-scoring ultra clean tasting cups that have earned them respect and reputability. These coffee beans roasted by Triple Co Roast are a real taste of that Kaku effort: smooth milk chocolate with balanced green apple and lime acidity. These versatile flavours are great for all day drinking and work well with all brewing methods, we recommend a Clever Dripper for this one.
