Every month, a coffee. Every season, a day on the farm. Once a year, our own harvest.
A NOTE FROM THE FARM
“Farming coffee in Hong Kong is mostly, honestly, weeding. And waiting. And checking the trees after every storm. A hundred people who care is enough to keep the trees in the ground and the roaster warm.”
Andrew Yuen
MUI WO．LANTAU
THE FARM
In a valley in Mui Wo, coffee trees are growing.
Not as a metaphor, but as an actual, small, working farm. The only one of its kind in the city.
We planted the first trees in 2019. They now yield a few dozen kilos of green coffee a year — more each season as the trees mature, but never very much.
What we grow, we save for members. It doesn't reach the café. It doesn't reach the shop. Once a year, in November, it reaches you.
Every six months, members come out to the farm. In between, the farm comes to them.
THE MEMBERSHIP
A hundred people. Six months. Three rhythms.
Our way of keeping a small circle of people close to the farm. Coffee through the months, the farm once, our harvest when it comes.
I
EVERY MONTH
A coffee, chosen by you.
On the first of every month, we send you the shelf — four coffees we've chosen for the cup, roasted that week at ours. You choose the one you want. It arrives at your door by Friday.
A message from us, a reply from you, and a bag of coffee that was still green last week.
II
EVERY SEASON
A day at the farm.
Twice in your six months, we open the farm to members. A small group. A slow day.
Cupping the shelf. Walking the trees. Lunch under a roof if it rains, on a bench if it doesn't.
Thirty minutes from Central by ferry. Come to both, come to one, come to neither — the membership holds either way.
III
ONCE A YEAR
Our own harvest.
In November, we send members a small sachet from the season's harvest — the coffee we grew ourselves, in this soil, in this city. Enough for one careful pour, or two.
It is the only way to taste Hong Kong–grown coffee. It doesn't go on the shop. It doesn't go on the menu. It goes to members.

AND ONE MORE THING
A standing 20% at the café.
Whenever you're in Mui Wo — for an iced coffee before the ferry back, for a slow lunch with four friends on a Sunday — your table is 20% off. No card to show, no code to remember. We'll know you.
Not a rhythm. A door that stays open, for the six months you're with us.
