Why this matters

China is already the world's fastest-growing coffee market. But most people outside China have no idea that Yunnan — a province better known for tea and mountains — produces 98% of the country's coffee beans. The quality is improving every year, and the stories behind these beans deserve to be told.

This is my attempt to tell them.
