Pu'er, traditionally renowned for its tea, is now brewing a new reputation as China’s coffee capital. The picturesque Dakaihe Village in Simao District has become a hotspot for coffee enthusiasts and curious travelers alike.
A standout attraction is the vibrant \"Moon Meditation House,\" an artistic marvel constructed from leftover ground coffee and recycled materials. Nestled within a sprawling coffee garden, the house offers visitors a serene spot to savor locally harvested coffee while soaking in the breathtaking views of drifting clouds, rolling mountains, and twinkling evening stars.
Visitors like Liu Ziyue from southern Guangdong Province have fallen in love with the experience. \"It's wonderful to enjoy a cup of coffee from beans that are harvested and brewed right here,\" Liu shared after spending an entire afternoon in the house.
Hua Runmei, the passionate manager of the coffee garden, highlights the location’s enduring appeal. \"Even outside the peak tourism season, we receive over 500 guests daily,\" she notes. The garden attracts not only tourists but also professional baristas and cafe owners eager to explore new fermentation methods that give Pu'er’s coffee its unique flavor profiles.
As Pu'er continues to cultivate its coffee culture, it promises to offer even more innovative experiences for both locals and international visitors, solidifying its place on the global coffee map.
