Yunnan small bean coffee is renowned both in China and internationally for its strong yet not bitter flavor, aromatic but not intense profile, small and uniform beans, rich and mellow taste with fruity notes. Its non-acidic taste makes it particularly suitable for Chinese consumers.

Whether in Lijiang Ancient Town, Dali Ancient City, or in various tourist areas throughout Yunnan, you can find Yunnan small bean coffee everywhere.

When you sit down with afternoon sunshine and a pleasant mood, taking a careful sip of small bean coffee, you'll discover that China also produces such delicious coffee. At this moment, the desire to share good things with others naturally arises: "Boss, I want to buy a few more bags of small bean coffee to give to friends."

On some weekday afternoon, when you suddenly recall the small bean coffee you brought back from afar and prepare to relive that coffee aroma with joy, you find that everything has changed. The coffee's aroma is no longer as strong, and its taste is no longer as pleasant. You wonder: what happened? Was there a storage problem? Or is my brewing method wrong?

The answer might be neither, and the real reason could be that you bought fake Yunnan small bean coffee.

Limited Production, Mostly Exported to Europe

Due to international recognition, Yunnan small bean coffee has long been an important export commodity from Yunnan Province. Meanwhile, the annual production of genuine Yunnan small bean coffee is limited. Some high-quality coffee beans are acquired by larger coffee production companies, including Yunnan Coffee Factory and Hougu Coffee.

Merchants Use Cheaper Vietnamese Coffee Beans as Substitutes

Neighboring Vietnam also grows large quantities of coffee beans, but their market price is less than half that of Yunnan small bean coffee. This leads many merchants to use cheap Vietnamese coffee beans to fake Yunnan small bean coffee.

However, whether in terms of variety (Vietnamese coffee beans are mostly Robusta, while Yunnan small bean coffee is Arabica) or taste (Robusta beans have a rough flavor, Arabica beans have a delicate taste), they cannot compare to genuine Yunnan small bean coffee. This makes many tourists feel that the so-called "Yunnan small bean coffee" they taste is extremely unpleasant.
