As February 2026 unfolds, Yunnan’s mountains are buzzing with activity – it’s peak coffee harvest season! 🌱 Farmers across China’s southwestern gem are hand-picking ruby-red coffee cherries, continuing a tradition that supplies over 97% of the Chinese mainland’s coffee beans.
Picture this: terraced hillsides transformed into a sea of red berries, with workers using bamboo baskets to collect only the ripest cherries. This meticulous process from November to March ensures premium quality for your morning brew. ☀️
Fun fact: Yunnan’s unique elevation (1,000-2,000 meters) creates ideal growing conditions – think cool nights and sunny days that give the beans their signature balanced flavor. Local cooperatives are now blending traditional methods with sustainable practices, catching the eye of global coffee lovers and investors alike.
