As a bridge between the origin and the coffee cup, Justin Coffee personally stepped onto the mystical, mist-shrouded lands of Alishan.
This year, the harvest from Ching Ye Coffee Estate has been even more exceptional, with the estate owner, Mr. Yeh, paying even closer attention to every detail. In terms of post-harvest processing, factors like time and temperature directly influence the level of fermentation and the resulting flavor profile. Drawing from past cupping experiences, Mr. Yeh made careful adjustments. Compared to previous years' natural-processed batches, this year’s coffee is cleaner and sweeter, with increased complexity while reducing muddled and over-fermented notes. The result is a return to the coffee’s pure essence: vibrant fruit flavors.
In farm management, Mr. Yeh works closely with farmers, engaging in constant communication and optimization. Using a quasi-natural farming method, they carefully manage the soil to keep it fertile and soft. Branches and leaves are meticulously pruned to nurture higher-quality coffee cherries and ensure robust plant growth. Shade trees are strategically planted to regulate sunlight exposure according to local conditions. Skilled harvesters, with quick yet gentle hands, pick the deep red, perfectly ripe coffee cherries to preserve their optimal flavor, ensuring that every single bean captures the essence of its origin.
During our visit to Cing Ye Coffee Estate, we discovered that the coffee trees are remarkably resilient to pests and diseases. Each leaf is thick and healthy, and the coffee cherries are plump and full. This is a clear reflection of the trees’ health, which stems from the estate’s unwavering commitment to quality. It also reinforces the strong partnership between the farmers and the estate owner.
What truly left a profound impression on us, however, was the experience of handpicking coffee cherries ourselves. The freshly harvested cherries were filled with mucilage that was as sweet as fruit juice, carrying a delightful lychee aroma. We could deeply sense the farmers’ meticulous care and attention to every single coffee cherry.
At Justin Coffee, we strive to be the bridge between the origin and your cup, delivering this dedication and passion straight to you.

Alishan's Rising Star Variety - Arabica Coffee Variety So'ngna
When cultivating Geisha varieties, coffee prince Fang Zheng-lun方政倫 unexpectedly discovered approximately 70 coffee trees with distinct appearances. After testing and analysis, it was confirmed that these trees belonged to an unnamed African lineage of indigenous species. To give it a unique identity, he named it "So'ngna" in the Tsou language鄒族語, meaning "the best." He believes that this uniquely flavored coffee has the potential to secure a place for Taiwan in the international specialty coffee market in the future.
So'ngna's leaves are smaller and bright green, and its most distinctive feature is the shape of its fruit. Unlike the typical rounded shape of coffee beans, its tail end is unusually flat. So'ngna's beans are shorter and rounder, and its leaves are yellowish. In single-tree cup testing, it exhibits a flavor similar to Geisha, but with unique notes of lemongrass and fruit candy.
In 2020, So'ngna participated in four competitions, winning first prize in two of them. In the Alishan Estate Coffee Elite Exchange Competition, it even won the honey-processed group championship, with scores surpassing the Geisha group champion, fully demonstrating its variety's potential and competitiveness. In the future, So'ngna may become a new benchmark for Taiwan's specialty coffee, and it is worth looking forward to!
Arabica Coffee Variety – Geisha/Gesha
Geisha coffee, once named one of the "World's Top 10 Most Expensive Coffees" by Forbes, is widely regarded as a legendary icon in the world of specialty coffee. However, there is significant confusion surrounding the Geisha variety, as multiple genetically distinct plant types are referred to as Geisha. Many of these plants share similar geographic origins in Ethiopia. Recent genetic diversity analysis by the World Coffee Research has confirmed that the T2722 variety cultivated in Panama has a unique and consistent lineage. When grown under proper management in high-altitude regions, this variety is strongly correlated with exceptional cupping quality and is renowned for its delicate floral notes, jasmine aroma, and peach-like fragrance.
In recent years, the cultivation of Geisha has gained popularity worldwide and has achieved outstanding results in major coffee competitions. This includes regions in Central and South America such as Guatemala, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Colombia, and Peru, where the Geisha variety is typically transplanted from Panama's T2722 strain. Additionally, many high-altitude areas in Taiwan have begun cultivating Geisha, with flavors becoming increasingly enchanting at higher elevations.

Arabica Coffee Variety – SL34
SL34 is an artificial hybrid variety derived from Bourbon in Kenya and Tanzania, developed alongside SL28. Both are well-known for their excellent flavor profiles. While Bourbon has a higher yield compared to Typica, it still has a two-year harvesting cycle, making it a relatively low-yield variety. SL28 and SL34 are iconic Kenyan coffee varieties developed and named by Scott Laboratories (SL) in the 1930s. SL28 carries the lineage of Bourbon, Mokka, and Typica. The original goal of developing SL28 was to produce a high-quality coffee variety that could resist pests and diseases. Although SL28's yield was not as abundant as anticipated, it gained recognition for its excellent sweetness, balance, and complex flavors, with distinctive notes of citrus and dried plum.
SL34, while similar in flavor to SL28, offers a richer and cleaner taste. It has Bourbon heritage and a stronger Typica lineage, making it better suited to withstand heavy rains and challenging weather conditions.
