About This Coffee

This coffee is grown on Baima farm in Yunnan's Menglian County, China, named after the "white horse" mountain. The farm is led by Mr Laicheng Dong and produces coffee using innovative, sustainable methods. The cherries undergo hand-harvesting and meticulous sorting, followed by controlled double fermentation in Ecotact bags. After initial mechanical drying, the cherries finish drying on raised beds. Available in both Filter Roast and Espresso Roast options.

Clifton Coffee

James Fisher founded Clifton Coffee in Bristol in 2001, initially servicing espresso machines before Ed Buston joined and expanded the business into wholesale. Several of their earliest multi site customers in Bristol remain clients over two decades later. In 2013, Clifton invested in an in house production roastery and a training facility that was among the first of its kind in the UK. By 2022, it had become Bristol's largest roasted coffee wholesaler, supplying around 850 customers including specialty shops, Michelin starred restaurants, and five star hotels across the UK, EU, and Middle East. Ninety percent of the coffee is bought directly from origin through the company's own sourcing relationships. Clifton achieved B Corporation certification in 2023 and holds SCA Premier Campus status.
