Walnut producer smells chance in coffee

KUNMING - Zhou Feng runs a walnut-processing factory in Southwest China's Yunnan province. The walnut milk from his factory is popular, but he has always been anxious to explore more processed-walnut products to take his business to the next level.

Recently, the launch of a new kind of instant coffee offered a new opportunity to the walnut industry.

Last weekend, a local coffee maker in Yunnan, Hogood Coffee, launched a style of instant coffee that uses walnut protein powder instead of non-dairy creamer.
