About Us

The Coffee Intern is a Singapore-based micro roastery on a mission to make Yunnan specialty arabica coffee accessible, affordable, and appreciated by all.

We hope to bring the extraordinary taste of Yunnan specialty coffee to Singapore, at prices everyone can enjoy.


Founded by a data scientist, each roast is meticulously crafted using a scientific, data-driven approach—monitoring temperature curves, rate of rise, and bean development to unlock the full potential of every batch.

Whether you're new to specialty coffee or a seasoned enthusiast, we hope to make exceptional Yunnan coffee accessible, affordable, and always enjoyable.

Our Core Belief

We believe that great coffee should be both exceptional and approachable. That’s why we focus on sourcing extremely high-quality Yunnan single origin coffee beans that not only taste amazing but also support sustainable farming and fair value for producers.

By curating affordable, specialty-grade options, we hope to break the myth that great coffee only comes from faraway regions like Africa or South America. Yunnan coffee deserves its place in Singapore—and in your cup.

Why Yunnan?

Yunnan, China, is quietly revolutionizing the specialty coffee world. With its high-altitude terrain, ideal microclimates, and passionate farmers, the region produces Arabica beans with flavor profiles that range from chocolaty and clean to fruity and floral.

Key Regions We Love:

  • Pu’er – Bold, rich, and full-bodied

  • Baoshan – Balanced and comforting

  • Dehong – Tropical, fruity, and vibrant

  • Menglian – Sweet, clean, and sustainably farmed

We’re continually amazed by how much soul and diversity Yunnan coffee holds—and we want Singapore to taste it too.

From Yunnan to Your Cup

At The Coffee Intern, we bring the best of Yunnan specialty coffee directly to Singapore. No fluff—just well-sourced beans, small-batch roasting, and a data-driven approach to unlocking great flavour.

We strive to make exceptional coffee affordable and accessible. We test, taste, and refine every roast so you can enjoy quality coffee—whether you're at work, at home, or on the go.

Always learning, always improving. That’s the intern mindset.
