It's already over 5 years ago since we came to Pu'er and a lot of things have changed over this period. For starters, the name. When we arrived, the city was still called Simao, but in April 2007, the name was changed to the ancient name of Pu'er, which actually dates back to 1729. We've also seen the city expanding quite a bit. As you might have guessed from the city's name, it's history is closely interwoven with the cultivation of the famous Pu'er tea. The city is also located along the ancient Tea Horse Trail, part of which is still accessible from town and makes for a nice hike through lush forests.

AuthorI wouldn't be surprised to find out I was born with a passion for coffee. For the life of me, I can't remember not loving coffee. And by that, I don't just mean drinking it, but everything involved from its cultivation over the processing to the final product that is my loyal companion throughout the day. Archives
