Banka - China

Sale price£12.00
This new offering was sourced from our new friends at IndoChina, who is known for sourcing some of the best Asian coffees. We're incredibly passionate about offering a diverse range of offerings of origins, and are so pleased to offer this unique coffee from China. Banka really stood out to us on the cupping table, with a gentle acidity and notes of green apple and mango.

Banka farm and washing station is based in Mengalian Dai, Lahu and Va Autonomous County, Yunnan and is named after the two adjacent villages (Banka Yi and Banka Er) where the coffee cherry is harvested.

Our origin partners, Yunnan Coffee Traders manage Banka wet mill and a portion of the Banka farm, some 100 hectares of land, installing one of the region’s first optical sorters, experimenting with processing methods such as yeast fermentation and growing new varieties such as Pacamara and Yellow Bourbon.

Indochina has worked in partnership with YCT since we first began importing coffees to the UK in 2016. As a pioneer of the Chinese specialty coffee industry in the Menglian County of Yunnan, YCT operates farming, mill, research, and training facilities.

Its mission is three fold:

Create opportunities for Yunnan farmers to engage in sustainable production practices.
Employ industry best-practices for sourcing, processing, wholesaling, and exporting coffees.
Supply coffee to importers and roasters who care about sustainability, traceability, and transparency.

What Does Our Colour System Mean?

We categorise each coffee into a colour system that identifies the 'vibe' and general tasting notes of that category of coffee. It can also have a relation to what brewing method works best, the processes used to create it or the varietal of the actual bean. Watch the video below to hear from a member of the team on what exactly this colour represents.
