Coffee cultivation in Yunnan has a long history. In 1892, French missionary Tian Deneng came to Zhukula Village in Binchuan, Dali for missionary activities and planted the first coffee bean here. The planted coffee seed gave birth to the life of coffee for the first time in Yunnan, China. This seed became the bud of Yunnan coffee history and opened up a precedent for coffee cultivation in Yunnan. It has a history of a hundred years. In today's Zhukula village, there are still 13 mu of ancient coffee trees, of which 24 are more than 100 years old. Through many studies of coffee culture at the national and provincial level, Zhu Kula coffee is known as the "living fossil" of Chinese coffee, the oldest coffee forest in China.

The development of coffee industrialization in Yunnan has gone through four stages:

The first stage was from 1952 to 1978, when coffee was grown and supplied to the Soviet Union for the sake of national strategy.

In mainland China, the earliest coffee cultivation began in Yunnan. Geographical terms such as Zhu Kula, Nongxian Village, Baoshan and Yunnan-Vietnam Railway should be the historical nodes and key words of the origin of coffee in Yunnan. They record every footprint of Yunnan Coffee.

In 1914, the border people of Jingpo nationality introduced coffee to grow in Nongxian Village, Ruili County. At that time, it was introduced as a courtyard cultivation for ornamental purposes. Coffee seeds grow quietly in this land, although the coffee history of Nongxian Village is often hidden in the stream, but Nongxian Village imperceptibly affects the progress of Yunnan coffee and occupies a pivotal position. it is it that opened the door to the history of large-scale cultivation of Baoshan coffee later.

Baoshan, as the earliest area of coffee industrialization in Yunnan Province, the planting history can be traced back to the mid-1950s.

In the spring of 1952, the scientific and technical personnel of Mangshi Branch of Yunnan Agricultural Experimental Field brought more than 70 kilograms of fresh fruit from Nongxian Village to Lujiangba in Baoshan City for trial planting, and found that they had good adaptability and good quality, and continued to grow. In the era of friendship between China and the Soviet Union, Baoshan coffee ushered in an opportunity for great development, exclusively for the Soviet Union.

The second stage is from 1978 to 1988, most of the land reclamation system tried to plant, this stage is a ups and downs stage, but also in the exploratory stage.

Yunnan is the only coffee producing area in China with export (Hainan coffee is mainly imported from Vietnam). In the past two years, due to the continuous guidance of post-treatment due to the influence of the market, Yunnan has also appeared a lot of beans. Earlier, Starbucks had a bean dancer Xiangyun, which was made from Yunnan and other producing areas. The two beans launched this time are completely using a single producing area in Yunnan. One is Yunnan Zhenxuan mixed coffee beans-- Pu'er Baoshan Comprehensive Coffee beans, from Baoshan Zuoyuan Coffee and Pu'er Menglian County Jinshan Coffee, one south and one north. Baoshan Zuyuan won the first place in the Yunnan raw bean contest a few months ago, and it is one of the few growers in Yunnan to grow iron trucks.

According to Starbucks' official website, these two selected coffee beans are the innovative crystallization of Starbucks China and coffee farmers taking root in Yunnan for seven years. They share the unique charm of Yunnan's high-quality coffee with China and the world in an innovative manner. From now on, coffee lovers can taste these two unique Yunnan Zhenxuan coffee beans in Shanghai roasters and Starbucks stores across the country.
