Yunnan Net reports (by reporter Zhang Qimin, interns Chen Hongyuan and Hu Na): On August 19, the Yunbao × Bidton Chinese-style Coffee Experience Hall officially opened at the Yunbao Media Plaza in Kunming. Coinciding with the Qixi Festival, the hall, built around the core concept of “World Coffee, Chinese Expression,” blends Yunnan coffee, Yunnan flowers, traditional craftsmanship and public-interest practice to create a brand-new Yunnan coffee culture experience space, giving citizens a different kind of Oriental coffee lifestyle experience.
At the opening, the scents of flowers and coffee intertwined. The experience hall partnered with the Flower Research Institute of the Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences to host a themed Qixi event. Women visiting the store received a gift of academy-developed roses with “Chinese cores” — including distinctive, rarely seen varieties such as “Baohua,” “Wenxiu” and “Jiaolong” — turning agricultural research achievements into festive romance. Customers who purchased Chinese-style coffee products could also receive a flower-in-coffee-cup accessory; with the bloom placed in the cup and matched with a transparent takeaway bag, it becomes a desk ornament that brightens everyday spaces. This crossover of self-owned intellectual-property roses with Chinese-style coffee is an attempt to link Yunnan’s two signature industries — flowers and coffee — and bring agricultural science and technology into the mass consumer scene.
Beyond the floral theme, traditional-method coffee tasting and a coffee-boiled-egg experience were also launched. Store manager Meng Yueru explained that the hall fully recreates the traditional coffee-making process: customers can try stone-milled grinding and clay-pot brewing of traditional coffee, with drinks finished with intangible-cultural-heritage handmade small-pot brown sugar and chopped nuts — a flavor distinct from regular Americanos and lattes. This process originates from the drinking habits passed down through generations of Yunnan coffee farmers, lending the coffee a rich Oriental character through local ingredients. In addition, the signature coffee-boiled egg proved popular: eggs are simmered in boiled coffee liquor, wrapping the egg’s fresh aroma in coffee’s richness for a creamy texture.
At the same time, the hall launched the “Take a Coffee Plant Home” public-interest campaign, letting citizens buy potted coffee seedlings and witness the full journey of a coffee bean growing from a sprout. For every potted seedling sold, 5 yuan is donated; for every drink sold, 0.1 yuan is donated. The funds raised will support rural primary schools in mountainous areas, letting a cup of coffee convey warmth to society.
It is reported that during the three-day opening from August 19 to 21, the store also rolled out multiple benefits: stored-value discounts, spending-reduction offers, free drinks, and a limited-time 9.9-yuan coffee-boiled egg. Here, citizens can read the complete story of coffee beans traveling from the mountains to the city, personally take part in grinding and brewing, and immerse themselves in the collision of traditional craft and modern life.
A cup of coffee connects the land’s local character with Oriental aesthetics. The Yunbao × Bidton Chinese-style Coffee Experience Hall will continue to explore the local value of Yunnan coffee, letting more people discover a coffee expression that belongs to China amid the aroma of coffee.
