Where to Buy Coffee Beans? Where Can You Buy Coffee Beans in Guangzhou?

Where Should Beginners Buy Coffee Beans?

Nowadays, there are many ways to purchase coffee beans.

Western Restaurants

Next time you dine out, order a black coffee and taste how it is. If you like it, you can buy a bag - most restaurants sell the beans they currently use.

Coffee Shops

It's best to choose large chain coffee shops. Those coffee shops have their own roasting factories, and large roasters maintain strict quality control, ensuring stable quality of roasted beans throughout the year. For example, Starbucks has 5 large roasting factories worldwide.

Online

You can buy small quantities online at first to find the taste that suits you best. The advantage of online shopping is that you can buy coffee from basically all coffee-producing regions worldwide (assuming the seller is honest).

Where to Buy Coffee Beans?

The first step is to skip shopping malls and supermarkets. Unless there's a coffee roasting shop in the mall, or they collaborate with quality roasters, but there are basically no such places domestically currently. So shopping malls and supermarkets are a no-go.

Of course, you can buy from supermarkets when you're in a hurry, but the chances of getting good, fresh coffee beans are very, very low.

Local Purchasing

Although the coffee culture domestically isn't particularly strong, the coffee industry has developed vigorously this year, with many third- and fourth-tier cities even seeing coffee shops with their own roasting. However, it's best to find some well-known, reputable coffee shops to ensure quality. This also avoids middlemen marking up prices. If possible, always ask for the roasting date.

An even greater benefit is that by getting to know those who truly love coffee, you can get better advice when exploring new flavors and styles, and learn more about coffee knowledge.

Online Purchasing

If you live in a relatively remote area, or the coffee culture nearby is poor with no suitable roasting coffee shops, then buy online! Whether on Taobao or Weidian, find a quality coffee brand that can deliver to your doorstep as quickly as possible.

Usually, roasters offer fresh-roasting-on-order services, but you still need to pay special attention to whether they indicate "fresh-roasting-on-order." It's most reliable to contact the seller directly, because some brands with fewer varieties and large shipping volumes might need to stock up in advance.

Where to Buy Coffee Beans in Guangzhou?

In Guangzhou, I recommend a coffee brand that also sells well nationwide - FrontStreet Coffee, which has been roasting and operating in Guangzhou for 6 years. In terms of cost-performance, it easily surpasses over 90% of online coffee merchants. In terms of quality, it has a considerable reputation in the Guangdong region. While they don't have world champions backing them, they're a genuinely established brand with many years of good credibility.
