No. 63 Manor Coffee is a small shop on Changchun Street, and No. 63 is its house number on Changchun Street. Founded in 2012, the café is the pioneer of boutique cafes in Wuhan and the first café in Wuhan to mainly deal in manor beans. The owner takes coffee very seriously and purely, refuses to be promoted by the media, and there is very little information about the café at Manor 63 on the various websites.
In terms of single origin coffee, the store mainly sells high-quality single origin coffee beans such as Panama Geisha, 90 Ethiopia, Yemeni Mocha and Sumatran Emerald. Emerald Estate's Red Label Geisha is the jewel of the town, having been the champion of the best Panamanian POB cupping and the SCAA (Specialty Coffee Association of America) cupping champion. The quality of the Red Label Geisha is extremely high, the aroma is rich and layered after brewing, the tea aroma is mixed with the fruit aroma, the fruit is sour in the mouth, the sweet aftertaste is strong, and the acidity is delicate, attracting many single product lovers to come to taste. The owner is also proud to have won the Red Label Geisha Global Auction for seven consecutive years.
Milk coffee is on the higher side of the price than other shops, but it is worth the money. The "No. 63" blend beans used have won both the gold medal of the IIAC (International Coffee Tasters Association China Branch) and the International Espresso Tasting Competition. At the same time, the milk coffee is made entirely from fresh milk instead of room temperature milk. Compared with room temperature milk, fresh milk has a sweeter taste, a smoother taste, and a thicker aftertaste of coffee. There are not many varieties of desserts in the store, all of which are baked by themselves, and the taste is decent. Meals such as pasta are also available, but the taste is not good.
The café is quiet and surrounded by old buildings of the Republic of China, making it look very old. The interior of the store is mainly retro style, and the second floor has enough seats, which is quieter than the first floor, so it is a good place to take a break. However, the mural is too old, and the leather single sofa and single rattan chair sofa are not matched, which seems to be not very coordinated. The interior of the restaurant is inferior to other cafes, with no smoking and no air circulation. Despite this, the bar at Manor 63 Coffee is full every day, mostly regular customers. The barista is very enthusiastic, and in addition to discussing coffee knowledge, he will generously introduce guests to other cafes to taste different coffees.
