Gao's Estate has been at the forefront of modern coffee farming in Yunnan Province since day one. Located in Menglian County at elevations between 1,500 and 1,700 meters above sea level, this estate manages over 82 acres of cultivated land and supports over 100 neighbouring farm households.

What sets Gao's apart? They were the earliest estate in Menglian county to adopt modern and digital agricultural methods, including soil testing, organic and targeted fertilization, drone-based pest control, and biological varietal management. 

The anaerobic natural processing reflects Gao’s approach to progressive farming. The technique combines anaerobic pre-fermentation in whole cherries with secondary aerobic fermentation after mucilage removal, developing unique tropical fruit notes while enhancing the coffee's inherent sweetness and body. 

Gao’s coffee was super tasty since we first tried it on the cupping table. The fermentation was expertly done, and we consistently get tons of tropical fruit, rosé, and both fresh apple and apple jam. When brewed as a pour over, it really showcases the clarity and complexity in the coffee, with a crisp and light body in the middle, finishing with a silky mouthfeel.
