In 2010, Howard Schultz, president and CEO of Starbucks, went to Pu'er in 2010 and praised: the coffee beans grown here are "red" (very red) and "good" (very good). He even said that choosing Pu'er as a treasure land to grow coffee is undoubtedly a "coffee gold mine".

In 2012, JeremyMakeford, an international coffee cup tasting master with 46 years of coffee tasting experience, praised Manaka's coffee as comparable to Blue Mountain Coffee and gave it a high score of 81.5.

Thirty years ago, Liu Minghui, the founder of Aiyi Group, "Chinese Coffee Coffee Cowboy", went out here and brought Yunnan Pu'er Coffee to the international coffee market for the first time. His Ai'er Coffee is available in 54 countries, including Europe and the United States.

In order to improve the variety of coffee in Yunnan and increase the output of coffee in Yunnan, Aiyi Group has been cooperating with Starbucks Agronomic Center and Institute of Thermal Economics of Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences since 2011. a total of 33 new coffee varieties, including Kaddura, Verasage, Kaduai 44 and Kadu Regina, have been introduced from abroad for experimental cultivation. This is the coffee seed gene bank. The new product has been successfully planted and will be promoted in coffee plantations throughout Yunnan.

Coffee is grown in the mountains. After hand-picking, coffee farmers will use tractors or pick-up trucks to transport fresh coffee fruit down the mountain and go to the coffee processing plant for peeling and glue treatment. After six kilograms of fresh coffee fruit treatment, there is about one kilogram of coffee with shell beans.

At the foot of Manzhongtian Manor, there is a clearing with 220 tanning beds with dense holes, covered with freshly peeled coffee beans. Dry for a week or so and put it in a bag and pull it to the Starbucks joint venture in the city for sampling and testing. If it is qualified, it will be shelled and weighed in many ways, and finally put into a 60kg sack for export or domestic sale.
