Over the past decade, there has been a coffee growing frenzy in southwestern China, with the world's biggest companies Nestl é and Maxwell planting and buying Yunnan small-grain coffee on a large scale. The planting areas are concentrated in Baoshan, Dehong, Lincang, Chaer and Xishuangbanna in southwestern Yunnan. According to historical data, the origin of Yunnan coffee is complex, which can be divided into three stages: in the early 19th century, a coffee plant belonging to Arabica variety was introduced to southwest China with French missionaries in 1902, and successfully planted and produced. However, the real technological improvement was during the cooperation between China and the Soviet Union in the 1950s, when experts from the Soviet Union assisted agriculture, Typica and Bourbon, two Arabica species with higher market value, were tested and cultivated in Baoshan District of Yunnan Province, where the climate was similar to that of Central and South America.

Due to the ideal environment and technology, the highly acclaimed Yunnan coffee can be on a par with Colombian coffee, which is one of the largest production in the world. Then Sino-Russian cooperation deteriorated, coupled with changes in the social environment. Further quality improvement and mass production will be stopped later. Until Deng Xiaoping's reform and opening up in 1979, through the 800000 educated youth's plan to go to the countryside and reclaim frontier agriculture, Yunnan's Typica beans also won the first place in the international coffee competition. Unfortunately, at that time, the speed of reform in China was not in line with that of the world, and the domestic demand for coffee was almost zero, so the development of coffee in Yunnan once again came to an end.

In the 1990s, the international view and market demand gradually opened up, which prompted Baoshan to introduce two kinds of plants Timor and Caturra with better resistance to coffee rust, and successfully mixed them. As a result, Catimor coffee beans began to be mass produced.
