On November 10, the 2nd University Student Coffee Culture Festival of Yunnan Agricultural University and the 2026 “You Must Have Coffee” Baoshan Small-Batch Coffee Culture on-Campus event opened at the university. Using coffee as a bond, the event linked campus and local resources and blended competition, flavor experiences, and a club carnival, letting teachers and students feel the unique charm of Baoshan small-batch coffee up close and unlock coffee culture through immersive experiences, igniting campus innovation and cultural vitality.

According to the organizers, to deepen campus culture building and promote the integration of industry and education with coffee culture dissemination, this event also served as the university’s 15th Club Carnival, with the aim of building a platform for university student coffee-culture exchange that integrates education, culture, industry, and entrepreneurship. Focusing on three goals — cultural cultivation, industry-education integration, and science-popularization education — it promotes coffee culture, tells Yunnan coffee’s story well, connects university research practice with industry needs, and enriches campus club culture. The event featured exchanges on campus-local collaboration, coffee-industry talent cultivation, the transformation of distinctive resources, and youth innovation and entrepreneurship, hoping to use this event as a bridge to deepen the linkage between Baoshan small-batch coffee and universities, support coffee-culture dissemination, and empower the high-quality development of Yunnan’s coffee industry.

After the opening ceremony, the on-site “Extraordinary Coffee” signature-drink competition was held. A professional judging panel composed of the Communist Youth League of Yunnan Province, Yunnan Agricultural University, and Biton Coffee professional baristas evaluated the contestants’ creations. The contestants unleashed their ingenuity, blending a Baoshan small-batch coffee base into richly layered creative drinks, each showcasing their strengths in technique, flavor, and creative expression, staging a coffee showdown on the tip of the tongue.

In the café on the first floor of the alumni hall, the “Irresistible Coffee” flavor flash-experience was held in three sessions simultaneously. Students gathered around the pour-over, cupping, and latte-art stations, hands-on brewing coffee and tasting flavors. Fun challenges such as “smell and guess the bean,” “flavor-wheel matching,” and “coffee blind tasting” drew many students to participate; while learning coffee knowledge through interactive games, they collected stamps to redeem exquisite gifts such as coffee gift boxes and coasters, immersively enjoying the pleasure of coffee culture.

A wisp of coffee aroma links campus and locality; a grand event lets youth blossom. This event brought Baoshan’s distinctive small-batch coffee onto campus — both a classroom for coffee-culture popularization and a vivid platform for campus-local cooperation and educational practice. Going forward, Yunnan Agricultural University will continue to leverage its distinctive resources, build more practice and exchange platforms, guide young students to take root in Yunnan’s fertile soil, understand distinctive industries, and devote themselves to industrial development, empowering Yunnan’s distinctive industries to improve quality and efficiency with the power of youth.
