Vice manager Hai Feng Liu explains that the center, which contains a modern internet auction floor, cupping labs, classrooms and a cafeteria/coffee bar, initially will serve China’s rapidly expanding arabica farms. The coffee center is a novelty in downtown Puer where tea has dominated commerce for centuries, but long before these saplings are grown the exchange will be Asia’s largest coffee trading center.Ĭoffee auctioned at the center is mainly washed Catimor, planted 5,000 trees per hectare, with yields averaging one metric ton per hectare.
