Ninety Plus Coffee Lands Official Distributor in China

Ever wondered why so many coffee pros rave about Ninety Plus Coffee—those tropical fruit bombs and floral bombs you’ve seen in forum posts—but couldn’t actually buy it easily in mainland China? For years, enthusiasts relied on gray-market imports from Taiwan or other countries, often paying high prices with no guarantee of authenticity. That changed in 2014.

In January 2014, Kunming Jiesi Trade Co., Ltd. officially became the sole and exclusive distributor for Ninety Plus Coffee LLC in mainland China, with full rights to sell and accredit local sub-distributors. That means better access, pricing, and service for serious coffee buyers across the country.

Who Is Ninety Plus Coffee?

Ninety Plus Coffee LLC launched in 2006 and quickly made a name for itself by managing its own Ethiopian coffee farms and developing patented processing methods. The result? A range of single-origin green beans with wildly unique flavor profiles. Since its first release in 2007, Ninety Plus coffees have won national and world championships in barista competitions around the globe. The brand now offers 13 distinct flavor spectrum series—more than any other luxury single-origin line—and is widely regarded as having the most diverse and high-quality offerings in the specialty coffee world.

Why This Partnership Matters for China

While Ninety Plus has been known among coffee insiders in China, availability has always been limited and unreliable. With Kunming Jiesi now handling official distribution, buyers on the mainland can access these rare beans directly, often at better prices and with faster delivery. The distributor also acts as a support hub, offering technical resources and product information sourced straight from Ninety Plus HQ.
