Sunrise in Wanning has a new hero: coffee & youtiao! ☀️☕️ Youtiao is a crispy, airy fried dough stick you’ll find at breakfast stalls from Bangkok to Beijing. But here, it’s meeting rich, locally roasted Hainan beans for a morning mashup that’s going viral.
Earlier this year, Hainan’s zero-tariff duty-free list added imported coffee beans from top origins like Ethiopia and Colombia. When these global beans team up with homegrown Hainan varieties—roasted by island baristas—the result is a unique blend that tastes like a hub of cultures in your cup.
Whether you’re chilling at a beachside café on Yalong Bay or grabbing a quick bite near your co-working space in Haikou, this perfect pair has you covered. The crunchy youtiao balances the coffee’s bold notes, making every sip and bite an experience.
Beyond the flavours, this trend reflects Hainan’s open spirit: blending local roots with global influences. It’s more than breakfast—it’s a taste of island life. Next time you’re on Hainan, try this easy combo for a morning boost you won’t forget. 😋🌴
