Farm Description
The name Kaku comes from the Lahu (ethnic minority in the region) language. Kaku farm is on one of the highest mountains in Menglian from which you can see the beautiful valleys of both Southern China and Myanmar. At Kaku, only washed coffee is produced. At this well managed farm, everybody strives for excellence under the experienced guidance of Mr. Zhang. This combined with the high altitude produces an exceptionally high quality coffee that is not only very clean, but also about as complex as you would ever be able to find in this area of the world. Thanks mr. Zhang for the hard work and dedication!

Farm Description
Dongka derives it's name from the Lahu villages around the farm. In the late 80's Mr. Zha's father united the people from these villages and started growing coffee together to alleviate the bitter poverty in the region. He became the spokesman of his people and achieved prosperity and stability for them.
Now his son (Mr. Zha) has taken over and we have worked with him for quite a few years now. We have helped with training in growing and processing. We witnessed the coffee quality improve over the years and are thankful to be part of that journey.

Guiben is located near the Lao border in a famous tea growing area. One of the partners in YCT Lan Tiancai is the co-owner of the farm with his cousin. YCT has been instrumental in setting up the entire operation.
The vision for this farm has always been to produce high quality specialty coffee organically and sustainably. The farm has proven social impact on the community providing employment and training as an alternative to heavy drinking and hopelessness.
Apart from coffee, the farm produces avocados and mangoes. In addition, experiments are undertaken with alternative varieties to Catimor: Geisha, Yellow Bourbon, Pacamara etc. The name Guiben is Chinese and means 'to return to origin' or to 'return home'. The aligns with not just the vision, but also the practical applications in daily farm operations: soil regeneration, bio-diversity and good local relationships!
