On March 25th we are Hosting a Cupping Showcasing Specialty Coffee from China
Li from Sol Coffee Trading Co. will join us to showcase 12-14 coffees from the latest harvest from China.
About Sol Coffee Trading
It all started with a cup of Yunnan coffee we tasted in 2020. We were immediately captivated by its clean taste, citrus-like acidity, and cacao-caramel finish. After numerous trips and farm visits, we developed a deep connection to the coffee and its unique terroir. Since 2022, we have worked extensively with farms across Yunnan (Menglian, Lafu, Lancang, Lincang, Pu’er, and Xishuangbanna). Our goal is focusing on delivering reliable, ethical, high-quality specialty coffee domestically and internationally through robust supply chain practices. In collaboration with Yunnan Coffee Traders, we ensure seamless, top-notch import/export services for our customers. We believe it is our obligation to prioritize long-term, sustainable relationships with farms, producers, and resellers to create shared value for all.
Core Values:
1. Quality
At Sol Coffee Trading, we believe quality is the cornerstone of our business. By placing strong emphasis on sweet and clean cups, we aim to maintain the high standards our customers expect from us.
2. Repeatability
We carefully select and only work with producers with solid track record in both coffee planting and processing. From coffee planting to the dry mill, our collaborative farms and producers follow strict protocol to ensure repeatable process. The instructions and standard operating procedures were established and trained to maintain the same basic flavor profile each year – clean, sweet and very low defect counts.
3. Scalability
By targeting the global market, we produce both large-scale volumes (up to 500 tons) and specialized micro-lots through our collaborative farm network.
4. Sustainability
We believe sustainable business means connecting profit with people and the planet. We are committed to fairness across the value chain, ensuring that everyone involved in growing, processing, and exporting benefits equitably. Our collaborative farms have been long-term green suppliers for Nestle and Starbucks and hold 4C (Common Code for the Coffee Community) and C.A.F.E. (Coffee and Farmer Equity) Practices certifications.
Everyone is welcomed! If you are a KWCC Member or a fellow Coffee Roaster within the Community who is interested in purchasing green coffee from Honduras for their business, come slurp!

A widely used method of evaluating coffee quality, consistency, and to further develop your palette.
Standard amounts of coffee are brewed with a simple immersion brew method. This eliminates other variables when brewing (ex. pour over which has more factors to brewing)
