New Years Bash

December 31st, New Years Eve, marked one full year of coffee operations. We celebrated as any coffee shop would.

Customers enjoying our free coffee tasting. The coffees available were Colombian Suppremo, Ethiopia Jimma, and our Holiday Blend.


As far as we know we hosted the Kunming's first Barista Championship and we opened it to any Kunming area barsitas. 10 competed by preparing one shot of espresso and one cappuccino for our three judges.



We are hoping to raise awareness of the art of coffee making as well as encourgaging local baristas to improve their trade.

Less of an art and more of a science was our Chicago style Deep Dish Pizza Eating Competition. 12 competed for the rights to pizza eating champion.

1 KG of deep dish pizza left a few more than overwhelmed.

A English Corner Miracle. Love proposed by two of our English Cornerians who met a few months ago through our Tuesday Night English corners.
