Yunnan is not only famous for ethnic diversity and tea, but also getting more and more famous for its small seed coffee. At present, the planting area of Yunnan coffee accounts for 70% of the total planting area in China and its production accounts for 83% of the total production of the whole country. Yunnan small seed coffee has established a dominant position in China. Let’s start a tour for looking for good quality of coffee and tea, and experience ethnic culture.

Today coffee, tea and cocoa are called the world’s three major beverages. According to Records of Puer Region and Records of Puer City, in 1956, Jiangcheng Hani and Yi Autonomous County established a coffee farm in Manlaojie and introduced small coffee varieties for cultivation.

After breakfast, we will drive around 1 hour to Mengzhuzhai (勐主寨) and visit Daxiang Coffee Farm(大象咖啡庄园). Arrive at Daxiang Coffee Farm and start the coffee making class (around 5-6 hours). Yunnan coffee is the “golden belt” of the world’s finest coffee beans. Almost half of Yunnan’s total coffee production comes from Pu’er. After more than 20 years of painstaking development, Pu’er has been called the “coffee capital” of China. China may be the only country in the world that both consumes and grows coffee. And Pu’er coffee is a real Chinese taste.

After lunch, we will have chance to visit the wild elephants in Mengzhuzhai Village with the help of the boss of Daxiang Coffee Farm.

Optional Tour:
We will drive around half an hour to the Wild Elephant Valley, which is the first national park in China focusing on animal and environmental protection. The wild Elephant Valley is densely forested, frequently visited by Asian wild elephants, bison, green peacocks and black bears. It is a natural reserve where visitors can experience close contact with wild elephants in a comparatively safe way.
