Yunnan: Yunnan, meaning ‘South of the Clouds’, is located in Southwest of China and shares borders with Sichuan, Guizhou and Tibet as well as Vietnam, Laos and Burma. With its unique location and pleasant semi-tropical climates, the food of Yunnan (Yunnan-Cai), is often unofficially dubbed the Ninth School of Chinese Cuisine. It is an exquisite fusion of Han and Ethnic Minority culinary influences. This is no surprise – Yunnan is China’s most ethnically diverse region and its cuisine reflects this diversity with a variety of delectable tastes – fresh wild vegetables, mushrooms and spices are a staple, and the combinations of flavours, colours and ingredients are endless. Apart from great food, Yunnan is also known for its delicate Pu’er tea and varieties of coffee.

With travel in China still not back to normal (and Yunnan a long way from Beijing), we bring these regional flavours to you! Join us for a lunch consisting of six authentic Yunnan home-cooked dishes matched with local Yunnanese coffee, tea and beverages. While enjoying the food and drinks, learn about their history, the culture of Yunnan and the tea and coffee for which the region is famous the world over.
