Cafe founded by German in Shanghai connects Yunnan coffee to the world

Although there are more than 8,000 cafes in Shanghai, COFFEE COMMUNE stands out from the competition because it exclusively promotes Yunnan coffee beans.

The café was founded in 2018 by German Eric Baden, who first arrived in China in 1998.

Baden said he opened the café because he wants to boost the incomes of coffee farmers in Yunnan province and help revitalize their rural communities.

COFFEE COMMUNE presently has two shops in Shanghai.
