I live in China and buy local beans exclusively, China isn't particularly well known for being a bean producer - and most people here don't drink coffee, though it's growing - but down in Yunnan, in the border region to Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar are a bunch of farmers and roasters, and they make excellent stuff.

Unfortunately none of them have any websites and are only available via Chinese social media or messaging apps, but if you come across any Yunnan roasts by chance, give it a try!

It would be helpful if you were comfortable sharing where in the world you are.

Local roaster in Champaign Illinois called Columbia street roastery. I don’t live in the area anymore but I order online and they ship wherever. My personal favorite is their black velvet; it’s dark but incredibly smooth.

here's their website

Highly recommend 'Untitled 4th Blend' from M&H Beans in North Canton, O. They have a website and ship ( https://www.mhbeans.com). It's a dreamy sweet smell/aroma with a deeper dark chocolate finish. I try something else every once in a while but always come back to this one for my home espresso/milk drinks.

I'm not sure who the roster is, but i get the house blend from a shop called ROHRS in New Jersey.

I just discovered a roaster in Portland called Push X Pull. They specialize in natural process light roasts. This roast was particularly interesting https://pushxpullcoffee.com/shop/colombia-finca-villa-betulia-honeh But everything I've tried there has been really good!
