Tianhao, Filter - China

Hidden among the mist-covered Lancang Mountains in Yunnan's Pu'er Prefecture, Tianhao Estate has become one of China's most respected specialty coffee producers.

Founded by Wei Yunhua in 2007, after planting the first coffee trees a year earlier, the estate has grown into more than 267 hectares dedicated to producing exceptional coffee through sustainable farming and meticulous processing.  Coffee is grown without pesticides, relying instead on biological pest management and homemade organic fertilisers to nurture healthy soils and resilient plants. The estate cultivates varieties including Catimor and Geisha, while every stage of production, from harvest to processing, takes place on-site, ensuring complete quality control and exceptional traceability.

Tianhao is renowned for its distinctive Winey Natural process, a fermentation style developed to highlight the naturally high sugar content of Yunnan coffee cherries.

Only perfectly ripe cherries are selected before undergoing carefully controlled low-temperature fermentation in sealed tanks. During fermentation, naturally occurring microorganisms transform the sugars into a complex range of aromatic compounds, creating exceptional sweetness and refined fruit complexity.

The cherries are then dried intact with their skin and mucilage under the Yunnan sun, concentrating flavour while preserving the coffee's clarity and balance. Once the ideal moisture content is reached, the coffee is hulled and precision sorted using advanced AI-assisted optical technology to ensure outstanding consistency and cup quality.

This is a coffee that reflects both the unique environment of Yunnan and the vision of a producer who believed the region could stand alongside the world's finest coffee origins.
