Mojiang Coffee

　　Mojiang Coffee is a specialty of Mojiang County in Pu'er City, Yunnan Province. The coffee is grown in an excellent environment and is of high quality.

　　 Historically, Mojiang was known as "Gongshun" or "Talang," and was named Mojiang starting in 1915. The Hani Autonomous County of Mojiang is located in the southern part of Yunnan Province, in the eastern part of the Simao region, between 101°08′ to 102°04′ longitude and 22°51′ to 23°59′ latitude, at elevations ranging from 440 to 2,278 meters, without frost. Coffee cultivation began here in 1928, and today the coffee planting area covers 12,000 acres, mostly at elevations above 1,400 meters, with many being newly established plantations.

　　Mojiang Coffee is grown in an excellent environment and is of high quality. Among them, the coffee beans produced by Beibiao Coffee, which undergo processing techniques such as 'washed grading and two-stage fermentation,' have been rated as first-class premium coffee year after year by cuppers from Nestlé. In May 2013, during the first Pu'er Green Coffee Bean Competition, among 29 green coffee bean samples from various counties (districts) across the city, Mojiang County’s green coffee beans scored the highest with 82 points, earning SCAA premium coffee certification after evaluation by three certified SCAA cuppers from Beijing, Hong Kong, and the United States.
