From Starbucks' first launch of single-origin Yunnan coffee in 2017 to the launch of two new Yunnan Zhenxuan coffee beans this year, Starbucks fulfilled its promise of "bringing Yunnan coffee to the world" and endorsed Yunnan coffee with its own industry status, which just proved that the strength of Yunnan coffee beans should not be underestimated.

Although Yunnan produces coffee, it has no reputation, general reputation, and it is even more difficult to strike a balance between quality and output. Even many Chinese have never tried. How to upgrade Yunnan's coffee brand and image and promote it to more and larger markets requires not only government policy support and the guidance of industry experts, but also industry giants like Starbucks to take the lead. Starbucks has put forward the concept of "in China, for China". In addition to its support to coffee growers in the upper reaches of the industrial chain, Starbucks brand endorsement and store channel scale are also the most important resources and driving force for Yunnan coffee.
