The spreading history of coffee in China

According to historical records, coffee trees were first planted in Taiwan in 1884, and coffee cultivation in mainland China began in Yunnan. In 1902, a French missionary named Tian introduced seeds from "Yingong" in Binchuan County, Yunnan Province. it was successfully planted in a place called Zhu Kula, a tributary of the Jinsha River.

The commercial cultivation of coffee in Yunnan began in 1985, but the development is slow. In 1995, the Yunnan provincial government formally put Yunnan coffee cultivation into the "18th" project, and coffee cultivation has developed rapidly, and now it has become the only raw material base for high-quality coffee in China, accounting for 95% of the country's total output.

In 1884, coffee was successfully grown in Taiwan.

In 1902, Chinese mainland successfully introduced and planted coffee in Binchuan, Yunnan Province.

In 1985, Yunnan Agricultural Reclamation began to grow coffee commercially.

In 1992, UNDP assisted China to build its first modern coffee processing plant, Yunnan Coffee Factory.

In 1995, the coffee industry was included in the innovative project of biological resources development in Yunnan.

In China, people like drinking coffee more and more. The "coffee culture" that follows is full of every moment of life. People are tasting coffee at home, in the office, or on various social occasions: it is gradually associated with fashion and modern life. Coffee houses everywhere have become good places for people to talk, listen to music and rest, and coffee has gradually developed into a culture. Whether it is freshly ground coffee beans or freshly brewed hot coffee, it exudes a rich aroma and makes people intoxicated. There are many ways to savor this intoxication: espresso, cappuccino, Latay, flavored coffee; they offer a variety of options for people who regularly patronize coffee shops in Beijing, Shangjiu and other big cities in China. Chinese people also gradually like to make their own coffee. Using roasted coffee beans, filter pots and filter paper to make a cup of fresh coffee also has a different taste.

As coffee is widely known as a drink with a long history, coffee is being accepted by more and more Chinese people. Some data show that China's coffee consumption is increasing year by year, and is expected to become an important coffee consumer in the world. Today, Yunnan coffee produced in China's own land, with its noble quality and low price, will promote this trend, guide this fashion, become the Chinese people's own coffee brand, and have China's own unique coffee culture.
