China Project One Light Peach Oolong - Control Yeast Coffee Beans

No, our China Project One Light: Peach Oolong contains absolutely no real fruit, syrups, or artificial flavour additives. The distinct tasting notes of juicy white peach and a crisp oolong tea finish are the result of pure organic chemistry. During anaerobic processing, targeted yeast strains break down the natural sugars in the Yunnan coffee cherry to generate volatile organic compounds called lactones. These are the exact same chemical mirrors found in actual peaches, allowing your brain to naturally recognize and perceive sweet fruit flavours entirely from the coffee bean itself.

The China Peach Oolong single origin is produced using an advanced anaerobic yeast-control method in the processing labs of Mangshi, Yunnan. Freshly harvested coffee cherries are placed inside sealed, completely oxygen-free tanks where specific, isolated yeast strains are introduced to drive the fermentation. By eliminating oxygen and carefully controlling the microbial environment, the fermentation cycle slows down. This extended timeline allows the coffee beans to deeply absorb complex sugars and fruit precursors from the pulp, sculpting the clean, highly defined white peach profile with zero of the volatile "funk" found in traditional anaerobic methods.

Because our Peach Oolong is an intensely aromatic, light filter roast, we highly recommend using a manual pour-over method (like a V60 or Kalita Wave) with clean, filtered water heated between 93°C and 94°C. For an optimal home brew, use a 1:15 ratio, specifically 20g of medium-fine coffee grounds to 300g of water, aiming for a target draw-down time of 2:30 minutes. This precise extraction technique allows the delicate, volatile fruit aromatics and the clean, semi-oxidised oolong tea finish to escape gently into your cup without being overwhelmed.

To ensure peak flavour quality, your Peach Oolong beans are roasted and dispatched directly from our Melbourne roastery within 24 to 48 hours of your order.

This fast turn-around ensures your coffee hits its absolute peak filter brewing window right as it arrives at your doorstep. Plus, standard shipping is completely free across Australia for all qualifying orders.

Not at all. While the precise anaerobic yeast-control processing yields high levels of desirable malic and lactic acids, giving the coffee its incredibly bright, juicy, stone-fruit structure. It is not inherently sour. Our master roasters in Melbourne carefully develop a light filter profile that balances this vibrant acidity with deep, natural structural sweetness. The result is a beautifully clean, refreshing, and crisp pour-over cup that transitions seamlessly into a smooth, tea-like finish.
