Get ready for a captivating addition to the Tandem Coffee menu: Kaku! The farm, situated near the Myanmar border in the Menglian Area of SW Yunnan, China, is a testament to resilience and dedication led by second-generation coffee farmer Lao Li. His journey, marked by market fluctuations, policy changes, and a devastating frost in 1998, is a story of unwavering commitment. Mr. Li has remained steadfast, expanding his family legacy and becoming a cornerstone of the local coffee industry. At Tandem, we hold community values dear, and Lao Li's contributions to healthcare and education in the region are a shining example. And the coffee? It's truly exceptional, with its notes of sweet plum, lively cranberry, and indulgent butterscotch. Don't miss out on this extraordinary experience!
