Lilo Coffee Roasters | China Yunnan Honey Silanjia

Lilo Coffee Roasters comes to us from Osaka, Japan, where they have two beautiful cafe spaces along with the Lilo Coffee Factory. 

Coffee can make people's lives fun and interesting. And we agree.

About the processing / Region:

After the ripe coffee cherries are washed and sorted, they undergo anaerobic fermentation for 48 hours. Finally, after the third anaerobic fermentation is completed, the formal drying procedure begins.

Because of the multiple layers of anaerobic fermentation, there are many different microorganisms involved in the fermentation process, resulting in complex flavors.

Yunnan Province is located on the southwestern frontier of China and is home to the largest ethnic minority population in the country. Bordered by Vietnam, Laos, and Myanmar in the south, with an average elevation of around 1500m-2200m, and Tibet Autonomous Region in the northwest, the average elevation is between 3000m-4000m. The overall topography is complex, with large temperature differences between day and night, and a diverse climate, resulting in a very rich flora and fauna, the largest number in the country.

Pu'er City is located in the southwestern part of Yunnan Province and has a warm and humid climate with abundant rainfall and mild temperatures. It is currently the largest coffee-producing region in Yunnan Province. 

Cupping Comments from Lilo - Keito Nakamura

A concentrated juiciness with the tartness and sweetness of fig and dried orange.

Oolong flavor with a hint of grape juice.

A smooth, lingering aftertaste, reminiscent of bourbon whiskey.

We love coffee coming from China.
