History of Coffee Tree planting

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 Europe

Coffee formed a tradition in Europe after the development of coffee roasting technology in the Middle East at the end of the 14 th century. It was introduced through an exchange between the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the merchants of Venice, a Mediterranean trader. Coffee flourished in the 18 th century. Islamists call coffee a "divine medicine given by Allah." So coffee is called "coffee" or "cavha", which means a drink that brings energy to people.

Coffee was introduced into Europe at the end of the 17th century when the earliest coffee shops appeared. Since this period, coffee has entered into European life from a simple hobby, and this conscious behavior has gradually increased in life. In the early 18th century, British aristocrats held coffee salons at home to enjoy coffee time. Parisians who are passionate about social and artistic activities are also born in cafes.

In this way, the role and role of coffee gradually spread from business to social, leisure, creative and other cultural fields. But the popularity of coffee is not just smooth. There is also a lot of opposition and suppression. There are also countries that ban coffee, and there were times when Pacas, the god of wine, regarded coffee as an antidote to alcohol. And it is widely accepted that coffee causes insomnia. In spite of this, the popularity of coffee, known as "Islamic red wine" or thinker's milk, has accelerated. After the 19th century, some countries have developed it as an industry.

Europe, which has ruled coffee culture for four centuries, is now blowing a new wind. Unlike American leisure coffee and Japanese-style filter coffee, the whole European coffee culture based on Espresso is showing a more exuberant trend.

Europeans have gone deep into people's lives and formed a culture 200 years ago and have a strong concern for and interest in coffee. Consumers are not only very strict about the quality of coffee, they think that creativity in taste and authenticity and consistency in related professionalism, artistry, history and experience are also very important. Here, the tendency to choose appropriate products is gradually formed that "concern for the environment exists in production and processing, and there is no disadvantage in every aspect of the circulation process".

There is no doubt about the authenticity of H.R. (Higgins) in London, England. Three generations have worked hard for the original taste of coffee since they started their business for more than 100 years. Now there are more than 15 kinds of comprehensive coffee. They do not care about the quality and authenticity of coffee in terms of external praise and interests, and now serve as an important business in providing coffee to the most expensive British royal family.

Now the establishment of the European Special Coffee Association has promoted the development of European coffee culture to a new stage. Through the spread of coffee such as Baristar competitions, ensuring the supply of high-quality coffee through visits to production places and coffee bidding, and gathering popularity through coffee organizations such as Fair Trade and Organic, these activities all predict the blueprint of European coffee in the future.
