“Immediately upon meeting Mr. Yé, I was impressed by his meticulous approach to producing coffee and refined sensory skills in identifying nuances. This dedication to precision, alongside the exceptional terroir of the region have helped to propel Taiwanese coffee onto the world stage.
This special edition lot was naturally processed, starting with handpicking and careful sorting of cherries to remove defects, followed by a controlled fermentation. Mr. Yé leverages his sensory expertise to determine the optimal fermentation time before transferring the cherries to a mechanical dryer. The first half of the coffee drying process is done quickly to lock in the fruit and floral notes, before it is slowed down to elevate the quality of the aroma.
The area the coffee is grown, in Ruili Village, located in the Ali Mountain area of central Taiwan, benefits from a unique microclimate ideal for coffee cultivation, resulting in a high-quality crop with complex flavours and nuanced acidity.”

Producer

Mr. Yé was introduced to us b a trusted friend, who recognised his potential as an entrepreneur with a growth mindset. Upon visiting his farm in Ruili Village, it was evident that Mr. Yé’s meticulous approach to coffee production set him apart. He maintains detailed records of post-harvest processes, roasts his own coffee, and employs his finely honed sensory skills to identify flavour nuances, which give him an advantage in producing exceptional coffee. His background in tea farming and competition experience further enrich his expertise in coffee cultivation.

Origin

Speciality coffee in Taiwan has experienced rapid growth in recent years, fueled by a thriving domestic coffee culture and increasing international recognition. While Taiwanese coffee has been cultivated for decades, it wasn’t until the Taiwan Private Collection Auction 2022, organised by the Alliance for Coffee Excellence, that it gained a prominent place on the global speciality coffee map. Coffee cultivation in Taiwan remains relatively small compared to other countries but is concentrated in the central mountainous regions, particularly in Nantou and Alishan, where the high altitudes and unique climate create ideal conditions for producing high-quality Arabica beans
