In the fast pace of the city, cafes are ideal rest stops. But there are always moments when you long for a more private and autonomous coffee realm – perhaps the solitude in the first ray of sunlight in the kitchen in the morning, or the creative joy shared with your family on a weekend afternoon.
And the key to this door leading to the personalized coffee world lies precisely in a bag of truly high-quality, freshly roasted coffee beans.
We are precisely the guardians and guides of this door.
When you step into “Douyu Shiguang”, the first thing you might notice is not the luxurious decoration, but rather a powerful and primitive aroma that greets you. That is not the smell of a pre-mixed, single coffee beverage, but a “symphony” interwoven by the aromas of dozens of coffee beans from different origins and processed in various ways. Here, the citrus and jasmine aromas of Yaga Sheffe from Ethiopia may unexpectedly encounter the herbal and earthy rich scents of Mandheling from Sumatra. The nutty chocolate flavor of Guatemala in Central America engages in a dialogue with the lively berry acidity of Kenya in Africa.
What we sell is not commodities, but the local customs and traditions of distant places.
We are well aware that the starting point of an outstanding cup of coffee is always in an estate thousands of miles away. Therefore, our footprints and vision have always been focused on the premium wine regions in various microclimates around the world. We establish direct trade with estates that adhere to the concept of sustainable cultivation to ensure that every batch of beans can be traced back to its origin. What you see here is not just a bag of coffee beans, but its life resume: which country it comes from, which region it is from, which estate it belongs to, what altitude it is at, and whether it is processed by sun-drying, washing or honey-making.
We firmly believe that only by understanding its story from seed to fruit can you more deeply comprehend and release its soul during grinding and brewing.
What we hold fast to is the peak moment of flavor.
Coffee beans are alive. After it is baked, its flavor will gradually fade away over time. We refuse to sell “aged beans”. Every type of bean in our store is precisely roasted in small batches by our roasters on small roasters. The roasting curve is tailored to the characteristics of each type of bean, aiming to maximize its regional flavor and achieve a perfect balance of sour, sweet, bitter and mellow.
What you purchase will be a bag of coffee beans that are in their “best taste period” and full of vitality. We will even carefully attach the baking date instead of the shelf life, because, like you, we pursue the peak flavor rather than long-term preservation.
What we offer is the perfect solution for you when you get home.
You might be a seasoned player of home coffee machines, or a lover of hand-brewed coffee, or perhaps you are just beginning to be curious about this continent of flavors. No matter which stage you are at, “Douyu Shiguang” is your most reliable partner.
We will choose based on your taste preferences (do you prefer a rich, sweet and bitter flavor or a bright, fruity and sour taste?)” And your brewing equipment (is it a fully automatic coffee machine, a semi-automatic espresso machine, or a hand-brewed pot?)” We recommend the most suitable beans and grinding scales for you. We offer professional on-site grinding services to ensure that the moment you open the package at home, you can enjoy the most abundant aroma.
Ultimately, what we connect is the emotions between people.
We have witnessed too many stories: a young father came in search of decaffeinated coffee that could reassure his pregnant wife; A daughter is looking for a blue mountain flavor from her mother who misses the taste of her hometown. A man who has just bought an Italian coffee machine excitedly shared with us a photo of his first successful latte art in his life.
These moments make us deeply feel that what we sell is not only coffee beans, but also a warm lifestyle, a medium for conveying emotions, and a sense of ritual in the family’s early morning.
Come to “Douyu Shiguang”. Take a bag of beans home that carry the stories of mountains and seas, and let your kitchen become the smallest yet warmest cafe in the world.
