Farm and Producer
Hongjun Zhang established Yunlan Estate in 1999 in Menghai County, Xishuangbanna, Yunnan. Its coffee grows at 1,600–1,800 meters in a tropical rainforest setting. The estate maintains multiple varieties and develops cultivation and processing approaches for its different plantings; this selection is SL34 prepared as a natural.
Variety
SL34 was selected in Kenya at Scott Agricultural Laboratories. Genetic research places it in the Typica-related group, and it is valued for its quality potential at altitude. Its character varies with the farm and processing method.
Processing
Natural processing dries the coffee with the cherry surrounding the seed. Contact with the fruit during fermentation and drying can contribute to fruit expression and body; careful moisture management remains important.
