“Every time a new product comes in, it tastes better than the last one,” Gao said. “You can see that it’s getting better and better. We were like, ‘We want to be part of it.’” But in the last 10 to 15 years, tastes and demand for specialty, high-grade and third-wave coffees emerged, especially from local growers and shops. According to Chinese news outlet the Paper, more than 6,900 coffee shops exist in Shanghai alone, with more than 4,200 of them independently owned.Ifergan’s Dayglow Coffee operates in Silver Lake and West Hollywood and by mail through a popular coffee subscription service.
Ben Wilde began contacting farmers and exporters through WeChat forums and works directly with the farms to bring unroasted Yunnan coffee to the U.S. His wife, Kina, operates Chinatown Coffee Roastery, a micro operation that currently offers three varieties of the single-origin Chinese coffee, among others, plus one blend.
Micro and midsize roasters are already sourcing from Wilde, and he says that recently, larger coffee companies have begun contacting him about the possibility of purchasing by the container load. These beans, which yield a light, almost almond-like flavor, first ship to the United Kingdom via the London-based Asian-coffee importer Indochina Coffee, then fly to Canada, where they’re roasted by Rabbit Hole’s team. From there they make their way each week to Pasadena, where they were first included in Mandarin Coffee’s house blend of espresso but now run as a single-origin espresso so that guests can better taste and appreciate the flavors independently.
