Coffee growing in China

<quoted text>No problem where I live, in Dali. Authorities have been cloud-seeding for the past month or so, so we've been getting a lot of out-of-season rain. Rainy season usually starts late May, with the monsoon

I checked the weather forcast for Dali in Yunnan. Looks like you're getting 3 solid days of heavy rain.

Hello Bob,
China train routes is a joke. Will fly to Dali, then, take a bus to Ruili. Any helpful hints about Ruili gem market? I am a habitual coffee drinker.. Where should I go in Dali for a shot of joe?

You could fly to Ruili. I have a well-connected friend who owns a guest house in Ruili. He could help you with your quest. I suggested trains, which are actually quite good,'cause it's cheaper. Most travelers are backpackers on a tight budget, or groups on a tour. If you do come to Dali, I have a restaurant, where we serve a rather tasty brew

If you actually went to the coffee growing regions, as I often do, and you could easily do, you would see the reality is quite different from your opinion. But hey, what are facts to a ranter

I buy my beans just N of Baoshan. I know the region well, and the farmers who grow and process it. This article is complete BS. Another fabricated hit piece. If you doubt, I'll give you a tour

I thought it was a fairly balanced article. Coffee & Conservation isn't known for hit pieces. TBH, sounds to me like you're on the defensive, as many Vietnamese growers were years ago.
