One of the great things about living in China is the relatively low cost of courier services which means you can get just about anything delivered at next to nothing at all. China Herald informs us that now, you can even get fresh Yunnan coffee delivered to your house, for FREE (if you live within the French Concession and the Jing'an area, that is, or if you order over 100RMB). Otherwise, you pay just RMB10 if you live in Puxi and RMB15 if you're in Pudong. Very reasonable!
We've long heard about Yunnan coffee (and may have already drank copious amounts of it unknowingly), and the flyer informs us that coffee production in Yunnan Province has received major investment from such companies as Nescafe and Starbucks. Well if high quality beef and western wine can all be made in China, why not coffee?

The coffee's not bad, so long as you choose the right type. The Breakfast Coffee's nasty as all get out; you've got to order the "Aroma Specialty Flavor Coffee" to get something drinkable. It's got a nice nutty aroma and tastes pretty good.
Also, you're paying a premium for delivery with this business. The stuff's around 30 yuan in the stores (here in Beijing, I imagine there's a Yunnan specialty store that sells it down in Shanghai, or check your favorite import chain). Breakfast Coffee's around 18 or 19, but like I said, it's not worth it.
Their website is here.
China's wines and meat are still not "high quality" in the international aspect.
