Beijing's benchmark roaster tucked in the 798 factory grounds — a glass-boxed Probat, Scandinavian calm, and single-origins that reward the pilgrimage past the galleries.
It sits in Beijing, and rewards going slowly rather than ticking it off. Mornings and late afternoons are kindest — softer light, fewer crowds.
Good to know
- Arrive early for the light
- Allow more time than you think
- Keep a few yuan in cash, just in case
