About

Welcome to Charact, a blog where we celebrate Yunnan coffee and world coffee culture. Nice to meet you.

Charact is an old French term from "caractère," meaning character or distinctive mark. It originally referred to written symbols but now stands for the unique qualities that define something—like the amazing taste of Yunnan coffee beans!

We're Yunnan natives in the UK, and we believe Yunnan coffee's potential is still untapped. The industry is underdeveloped, importers are few, and info on improvements is scarce. That's why our fantastic beans aren't getting the global spotlight they deserve, especially in the UK.

As we've observed, not many people are talking about Yunnan coffee genuinely and transparently, connecting the local scene directly to UK coffee lovers and pros. That's where we come in! We're here to research, write, and share stories from our local Yunnan coffee networks—covering everything from farms to roasteries, retail to hospitality.

Thanks for stopping by! Join us on this exciting journey with Charact!
