It is understood that the earliest coffee industry in China appeared in Hainan. Hainan's Lishen Coffee has an annual output of 325 tons of instant powder production line, and more domestic three-in-one coffee brands use Lishen's instant coffee powder raw materials.

Due to limited production capacity and relatively backward production technology, Lishen coffee stopped production. Since 2004, Dehong Hougu Coffee Co., Ltd. invested tens of millions of yuan in research and development to start the independent research and development of instant powder production line. finally, on August 8, 2008, the instant powder production line with an annual output of 3000 tons was built. Hougu Coffee built another 10,000 tons of instant powder production line. At the same time, it has broken through the production technology of freeze-dried coffee powder, and has become the only two enterprises in the world that can produce freeze-dried coffee powder, along with the world-famous Nestle coffee. In 2015, Hougu Coffee built another 20,000 tons of instant powder production line, the new 20,000 tons of instant powder production line, achieved fully intelligent control, China's coffee industry fully intelligent production achieved zero breakthrough.

Yunnan is the earliest coffee growing place in the mainland.

It was only in 1884 that coffee was first planted in Taiwan Province of China. In the mainland, the earliest coffee cultivation began in Yunnan.

In 1892, in order to meet the need of drinking coffee, French missionaries successfully planted the first coffee tree in a place called Zhu Kula in Binchuan, Yunnan.

Coffee cultivation in Yunnan, New China began in 1955.

For decades, Yunnan has been a leader in domestic coffee cultivation. In 1955, Yunnan farmers introduced and planted coffee on the state-run Lujiang Farm and Hekou Farm, which was the starting point of Yunnan coffee after the founding of the people's Republic of China.

The best coffee producer in the world is in Yunnan.

The overall quality of Yunnan coffee is better than that of Brazilian coffee and similar to Colombian small grain coffee. Liang Houfu, a famous news critic in the United States, wrote: "the best origin of coffee in the world is in Yunnan, and the coffee produced in Yunnan is very enjoyable to touch the tongue."

Yunnan coffee producing area is located between 15 °north latitude and the Tropic of Cancer, and most areas are 1000-2000 meters above sea level. The topography is mainly mountainous and sloping, with large ups and downs, fertile soil, sufficient sunshine, rich rainfall and large temperature difference between day and night. These unique natural conditions form the particularity of Yunnan small-grain coffee taste, strong but not bitter, fragrant but not strong, slightly fruity.

The output accounts for more than 99% of the country.

Yunnan has become an important node for the world coffee giants to distribute the Chinese and even Asian markets.

Baoshan, Dehong, Pu'er and Lincang account for 85% of Yunnan.

Coffee planting areas in the province are distributed in more than 40 counties (urban areas) in 10 prefectures and cities. The main producing areas are Baoshan, Dehong, Pu'er and Lincang. The planting area and output account for more than 85% of the province.
