A preliminary study on the Origin, Development, spread and Beverage Culture of Coffee

Coffee, tea and cocoa are called the three major beverages in the world today. They are consumed by about "LM" people in the world, and their consumption is second only to that of the world.

Drinking coffee is very popular in Europe and the United States. Coffee consumption is also becoming more and more popular in China and other eastern countries.

Potential. However, in Chinese academic circles, there are no papers and monographs on coffee from the perspective of agricultural history and custom history, nor in which agricultural history.

There is a chapter, section, or item about coffee in a book, a historical geography book, or a food history book.

In view of this, this paper discusses the origin, development, consumption, spread, entry into China and beverage culture of coffee.

Promote relevant research to adapt to today's situation.

I. the origin of coffee

The origin of coffee trees and coffee consumption is recognized in Africa, and there are different opinions on the specific region, but most people believe that it is in Ethiopia, an ancient civilization in East Africa. There is no agreement on the time of origin of coffee.

In the history of the discovery, origin and utilization of coffee, there is a magical story that is very popular, which I think is more in line with the truth. For a long time.

A long time ago, when Kaldi, a shepherd boy in the Keffa region of southwestern Ethiopia, was driving sheep through a forest, his goats ate red fruit on large bushes by the side of the road. ! Caldy inadvertently found that the goat was so excited after eating the red fruit that even the old goat ran and jumped like a young goat. The shepherd boy felt strange, so he also picked some fruits and tasted them. As a result, I became very excited and energetic, and I couldn't help dancing. Coffee (edible and refreshing) was discovered. "people call this fruit the local place name 'Keffa' ((Keffa)), which has been passed on and evolved into today's' coffee'(coffee) over a long period of time.

After coffee was discovered, people only picked wild fruit to eat at first, and then slowly began to cultivate it artificially. In the way of eating, at first, it chewed together with meat and kernel (that is, coffee seeds-coffee beans), and later improved to soak or boil the coffee fruit to drink. In terms of use, it was initially mainly used for religious activities in religious circles and for doctors to treat diseases and patients to recover. There are Christianity, Judaism and later Islam in Ethiopia-the Red Sea. After chewing coffee fruit or drinking coffee water, priests, monks and believers of all religions have the energy not to doze off during the religious ritual activities that take place all night. Patients can regain some energy by chewing it or drinking it.

The consumption and picking of coffee gradually crossed the very narrow Red Sea into the Arabian Peninsula. Encyclopedia of China Agricultural Roll Coffee

Article "and" Chinese Agricultural Encyclopedia crop Roll Coffee Bar "say that Arabs began to plant chewing coffee in the 6th century BC, but they are not credible without examples and literature sources. Moreover, from the perspective of the history of social development, the Arabs on the Arabian Peninsula in the 6th century BC (if there were already "Arabs" at that time) were still in the barbaric era of primitive society. If they had already had farming at that time, it would only be possible to grow food, vegetables, and multi-purpose crops such as dates, wheat, melons and vegetables, but it would be impossible to cultivate coffee, which is a medicinal, hobby and leisure crop. Because the level of productivity at that time only allowed them to grow those crops to ensure that they would not go hungry and survive. According to the new edition of the American Encyclopedia Coffee Bar, Arabs began to grow (chew) coffee in the + century AD. Some scholars also accurate the time and place of the cultivation and use of coffee to AD, and began to plant coffee in Yemen in 2000. I think it is relatively credible to cultivate coffee in the 6th century AD. It is inferred that Ethiopians found that coffee was used for a long time before, or two or three centuries before, that is, about AD. Century. Rhazes,865-932, an Arab medical scientist in the 10th century AD 9Mel, explicitly mentioned coffee for the first time in the literature, that is, someone crushed the dried coffee fruit and fried it in water as a medicine.'

According to the Origin of Coffee, an Arabic document in the 16th century, a Muslim imam, Sheikh Omar, was convicted and exiled to Osaba from Mocha in Yemen in the mid-13th century. On the way, he saw a bird happily pecking at the red fruit on the roadside tree, so he tried to pick some boiled water to drink. The small fruit has a wonderful taste. After drinking it, drowsiness and fatigue are immediately eliminated. Omar then taught the usage of coffee fruit to some people who had just recovered from a serious illness. Omar later spread the coffee fruit and drinking usage when he returned to Mocha at the end of his exile. ! The legend of Omar's discovery of coffee is very popular in the Arab region. I think this legend indicates several points: first, Omar may have independently rediscovered the consumption of wild coffee. He may have found different wild species-cultivated species. It has been identified that there are different wild species of coffee and cultivated species developed on this basis, such as small fruit-Arabica coffee (Coffee arabica), medium fruit-top basket girl coffee (C. canephra), big fruit-Liberian coffee (C. liberica); second, Omar may be one of the first people to try to grow coffee in the Arab region; third, Omar is one of the people who promote the consumption and cultivation of coffee.

We know that agriculture in the Arab region was also relatively developed in the Middle Ages, with a large number of multi-purpose crops, dates and other crops. It is difficult for Arabs not to cultivate coffee after knowing that coffee is edible and drinkable and has wonderful effects. So I speculate that coffee, which has been sporadically and occasionally cultivated in Yemen since the 6th century, has been cultivated in the field since the time of Omar. In 1454, the Muslim dynasty in Yemen officially issued a decree allowing the drinking and cultivation of coffee. "this shows that coffee has been grown and eaten for quite a long time and has reached a certain scale. Since then, coffee has been widely grown and drunk in the vast Arab region.

II. The development of coffee and the promotion of Arabia, China and Turkey

The dietary use, cultivation and development of coffee in the Arab region are also related to Zheng he's voyages to the West in the early Ming Dynasty. In 1433, Zheng he Fleet visited Arab countries along the Persian Gulf, Arabian Sea and Red Sea, including Yemen. Xiayang officers and soldiers, sailors and scholars carried, drank and sold tea, bringing China's "national drink"-tea culture to the Arab world. A letter issued by Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty for the voyage to the West said: "during the voyage to the West, officials used salt, sauce, tea, wine, oil, candles and other items, and spent according to the number of people." -October 16, nineteen years of Yongle. Ma Huan, who made three voyages to the West, recorded that there was no tea in some of the countries and regions he visited. For example, there is a lot of soju in Bengal (now Bangladesh), but there is no tea in the market, and people treat people with betel nuts. Another example is Java (now Java, Indonesia), "there is no tea for visitors, but they are only treated with betel nuts." % specially write down the "no tea" of the Yi people, indicating that they want to introduce and sell tea to the local people. In addition, porcelain is one of the main bulk products used for exchange and sale by the fleet of voyages to the West. The Arab region is hot and dry, and Muslims cannot do without water or water containers for a day. Tableware, kettle, tea set and water utensils in Chinese porcelain have become the daily necessities urgently needed by them, and they are in great demand. Fei Xin recorded that the Kingdom of Heaven (Saudi Arabia) "used gold and silver for goods, satin pies, colored silk, blue and white magnetic (porcelain) ware, iron tripod and iron tripod". Fei Xin has similar records of the Kingdom of Zafar (Amanzofar) and the State of Adan (Aden, Yemen). Chinese porcelain is used in both countries. People who go abroad often exchange porcelain with Arabs and trade with each other. Such as ". Seeing that the local messengers went there (according to the Heavenly Kingdom, that is, Saudi Mecca), they chose seven people, such as Tongshi, to bring musk, magnetic (porcelain) wares, and other things, accompanied by their own ships, and went back for a year to buy all kinds of strange goods and treasures. " .' Chinese porcelain is loved and cherished by the Arab people. So the Arabs still call porcelain "simi", which means "China"; just as English porcelain is called "china (China)", China is known as "porcelain country". The Ethiopians in the hometown of coffee call porcelain sino, which also means Chinese.

It is conceivable that the members of the Chinese fleet have repeatedly invited people from all over the world to drink tea and presented or sold tea and tea sets to them. Chinese tea, tea sets and tea drinking hobbies give Muslims inspiration: refreshing drinks can also be used as consumer goods in daily life. This understanding accelerated the popularization of coffee and promoted the development of coffee from religious divine drink and medicine drink used by doctors and patients to popular leisure drink. The last (or seventh) voyage to the West was in 1433, when the Arabian and Yemeni dynasties were allowed to drink and grow coffee; as mentioned earlier, it was only 21 years apart in 1454. Today's coffee cups around the world, including in the Arab region, look more like Chinese cups (that is, traditional capped teacups with tea boats or saucers). Unlike the deep and large beer mugs, deeper water cups and tall wine cups in the West-these two points also seem to be circumstantial evidence.

The spread of coffee accelerated in the mid-15th century when it was legal to grow and drink coffee in Arab Yemen. Spread to the great holy places of Islam in the 1970s and spread to Cairo at the end of the 15th century.

Since the end of the 15th century, great changes have taken place in world history, that is, great geographical discoveries have begun. The great geographical discovery lasted until the end of the 16th century, and from then on (at the beginning of the 16th century) Hai Dao Chase, the world was truly connected. From then on, it began to form colonial powers of modern significance, such as the West, Portugal, Britain, France, the Netherlands and Russia. " From then on, the real global exchange began, including the exchange of agricultural crops. Speaking of the great exchange of crops, it is easy to think that the American Indians found that all kinds of crops, including cocoa, one of the three major beverages, were introduced into the Old World and spread all over the world. It is not difficult to think of the crops of the Old World, including the number one beverage tea discovered by the Chinese, spread to all continents, continents and countries, but it is hard to think of coffee, one of the three major drinks cultivated by Arabs found by Ethiopians in Africa. During this period, it also took the opportunity to spread all over the world from a corner around the Red Sea.

The further spread of coffee on a larger scale is inextricably linked to Ottoman Turkey. Almost as Spain and Portugal became a colonial empire, Ottoman Turkey expanded into a feudal religious empire. In 1453, Turkey destroyed the Hellenistic ancient empire Byzantium, occupied Constantinople, and further expanded into southeastern Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Black Sea. The Turks conquered Egypt in 1517 and occupied Yemen in 1536. West Asia, North Africa, minor Asia, Central Asia and southeastern Europe are all under Turkish rule. Coffee then spread rapidly in Turkey, a vast empire that spanned Europe, Asia and Africa. In the 1630s, the world's first commercially operated coffee shop (hall, room) appeared in Damascus, and in 1554, the Turkish capital Istanbul (formerly Constantinople) also appeared. In the same year, Sulai (the Great) of Turkey taxed the production and operation of coffee. Taxing coffee is not only a kind of restricted exploitation, but also, I think, a kind of recognition and protection of this new industry. Since then, European travelers and businessmen have come into contact with the hot drink of "black molasses boiled from black seeds" in cafes in Turkey.

Under the rule of Turkey, coffee has not only been widely spread in its vast territory, there have been places for leisure and chat, cafes, and revolutionary changes have taken place in the processing and drinking of coffee. In the past, Oishr, a coffee drink made by Arabs, used only the pulp part of the coffee and discarded the better seed (core) beans; or dried and crushed the coffee pulp and then mixed it with oil to make balls; or mixed the peel with green beans to ferment and drink. After the Turks entered the Arab region in the early and first half of the 16th century, they began to collect and use the abandoned coffee beans, dried, roasted, ground, boiled in water to drink, and added sugar. From then on, it formed the basic way of eating coffee in modern times. The first cafes in Turkey used this new drink to attract customers. At the same time, Turks also export a large number of coffee fruits to make a profit. In order to monopolize coffee production, the Turks strictly prohibit the export of raw beans and coffee seedlings and coffee branches, stipulating that exported coffee fruits and coffee beans must be boiled in boiling water, or roasted, or peeled (similar to peeling broad beans or beans; coffee beans are slightly smaller than broad beans or beans) so that they cannot sprout. ! Turkey has monopolized the production and sale of coffee for more than 100 years by strict inspection.

III. The spread of coffee around the world and the culture of cafes

When Europeans and people from other countries come into contact with coffee drinks, some people soon fall in love with them. Businessmen and capitalists covet the benefits and profits of coffee. But in the era of geographical discovery (the end of the 15th century and the end of the 17th century), Europe or any other empire did not have a military advantage over Ottoman Turkey (it should be noted that Turkey even besieged Vienna twice in 1529 and 1683). It is not yet possible to use military violence to obtain coffee seedlings (such as defeating the Turkish army, occupying a place, and taking local coffee trees and fruits). In the face of Turkey's strict control policy, it is neither legal to import nor armed robbery, so people have to try to "steal", thus deducing many interesting stories about coffee. In 1616, the Dutch escaped strict Turkish inspection from the Yemeni port of Moka and smuggled a coffee sapling. They sailed home by detour through the Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean and the English Channel, a new route opened up by the Portuguese. However, the European climate, soil and water, is not suitable for the growth of tropical and subtropical plant coffee trees, so the Dutch have to grow it as an experimental tree in the greenhouse. In 1656 the Dutch invaded Ceylon (Sri Lanka). In 1603 the Dutch successfully planted coffee saplings in the field on the island of Ceylon. The Dutch established their first trading post-colonial stronghold on the Indonesian island of Java in 1603, and in 1619 the Dutch invaded Jakarta and renamed it Batavia. In 1696 the Dutch brought in coffee seedlings and seeds from the Malabar region on the southwest coast of India and planted them on plantations in Batavia, Java, Indonesia. After a little twists and turns, he finally achieved success and quickly made a profit.

But the coffee forests in southwestern India were not spread by the Dutch or other Western Europeans, but by a local man named Baha Budan in the 1730s. As a devout Muslim, Babudan made a pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca. When he returned, he pressed seven germinating coffee beans (seeds) to his belly, avoided the inspection of the Turks, and successfully "stole" back to his hometown in southwestern India. From then on, coffee began to take root in South Asia.

To sum up, the Ethiopian people in East Africa discovered coffee, the Arab people cultivated coffee, the Chinese people promoted the transformation of coffee from divine medicine drink to mass drink, the Turkish people invented the most authentic and scientific drinking method of coffee, and the people of South Asia also participated in the spread of coffee. It can be seen that coffee can become one of the three major drinks in the world, and people in Africa, Asia and Europe have all made contributions to it. However, it is the European people who love coffee the most, make the cafe (culture) the most prosperous, and spread coffee farthest.

In 1615 Venice merchants shipped imported coffee beans back to Venice to set up a coffee shop. This is probably the first coffee shop in Europe. However, cafe owners use imported Turkish coffee rather than coffee grown in Italy. In 1650, the first coffee shop appeared in Oxford, England, and in 1652, a coffee shop appeared in London. In 1643, the first coffee shop opened in Paris, and in 1650, Marseilles opened a coffee shop. In 1684, the first cafe appeared in Vienna. By the end of the 17th century and the beginning of the 18th century, cafes and cafes had sprung up in large, small and medium-sized cities in Europe, especially in Western Europe, and spread rapidly.

Since then, drinking coffee has been added to the social life and customs of Europe (including later North America), and the scenery of cafes has been added to the streets. People relax, chat, watch simple art performances, talk about business, talk about national affairs, eat snacks and fall in love in cafes. Cafes have become a Western-style leisure place comparable to Chinese teahouses. Some literati, writers and artists conceived their works when they were in cafes; some politicians were active in cafes, some criminals were plotting crimes in cafes, and some young women were soliciting customers in cafes. . The cafe has become an important social place for people in Europe and the United States.

The formation of European coffee hobbies and the popularity of cafes have in turn stimulated the spread of coffee in order to save foreign exchange and not be controlled by others. In 1714, a coffee tree was given to Louis XIV by the Netherlands as a gift to King Louis XIV and survived by planting it in the Cardin Botanical Garden in Paris and building a greenhouse. Naturally, coffee can only be cultivated for research in Europe. The following year, the fruit of the tree was introduced by the French to Reunion, a small island east of Madagascar in East Africa. "before long, the coffee was harvested there.

In 1723, a French officer De Clieu added a coffee plant from the Botanical Garden, kept it in a glass box (similar to a bonsai), and took it to the French colony of Martinique in the American Caribbean. He took care of it all the way, even dividing his own portion of fresh water to irrigate the coffee plant when fresh water was rationed. When he arrived, he planted saplings in his yard, surrounded by protective thorn bushes, and asked slaves to guard them day and night. This young tree thrived and was first harvested in 1726 (coffee grows three years after sowing). By 1777 Martinique had 18 million coffee trees. and spread throughout the Caribbean. In 1727, the Dutch and French had a territorial dispute in Guyana, and both sides asked Palhheta, an official of neutral Portuguese Brazil, to mediate. Pachta agreed to mediate, but demanded a bag of green coffee beans as a reward; Holland and France agreed. The final mediation succeeded, but the two countries refused to accept raw coffee beans. Finally, Pachta had to appeal to the wife of the governor of Guyane française. The viceroy's wife sympathizes with and loves Pachta. So she hid coffee seeds in the flowers she gave him. Since then, coffee has been introduced into Brazil, which is now the world's largest coffee producer. The blockade and monopoly of the Turks were finally completely broken. The field cultivation of coffee gradually spread throughout the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The drinking habit of coffee gradually spread all over the world with the blowing of European wind and rain, and was introduced into the Far East. The Japanese came into contact with coffee (beverage) around the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century. In 1793, a ship of 12 people from the Sendai region of Honshu, Japan, was caught in a storm and drifted northeast to the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia. They were transported overland by the Russians to Petersburg, Russia, via Irkutsk. The Russian Empire and the Ottoman Empire have shared a border since modern times. Coffee drinking is estimated to have spread to Russia in the second half of the 17th century. By the end of the 18th century Russian cafes and coffee drinking were common. The Japanese first encountered coffee in Russia. After this group of Japanese returned to China, one of them, named Genzawa Ogata, wrote a travel book,"Different News around the Sea," in which coffee was mentioned and recorded as "Jiaxi." Later, Japan changed it to "Jia". [After Meiji Restoration, Japan took the initiative to accept European weather earlier than China. However, Japan's climate was not suitable for coffee trees to grow, so it was not until 1878 that coffee seedlings were introduced from India to Japan's Ogasawara Islands for trial cultivation. In the 1980s and 1990s, Japanese tea houses began to add coffee seats to provide coffee drinks, and independent cafes began to appear in large cities in Japan in the early 20th century.

With the advancement of modern technology, caffeine extracted from coffee berries today can be used as both a medical stimulant and an analeptic, and may also be abused to make low-end drugs for less affluent addicts. Therefore, the control of psychotropic drugs should be strengthened.

IV. Introduction of coffee into China and coffee culture in China

Coffee was introduced into China with several meanings: first, coffee drinking was introduced into China and was initially drunk among Europeans and Americans who came to China; second, commercial cafes appeared, where ordinary people, Chinese and foreign people could drink and relax; third, coffee was cultivated in China and produced for their own use. At present, the research on these three levels is almost blank, which requires us to work hard. This article informs me of the progress of my research. From the perspective of language and characters, Kangxi Dictionary has neither the word "coffee" nor the word "coffee", let alone the word "coffee", which shows that Chinese people have not yet come into contact with coffee in the early Qing Dynasty. There is no coffee (drink) in China in the middle of Qing Dynasty, and it is still being searched. The author carefully consulted several kinds of dictionaries, dictionaries and other books collected from the middle of Qing Dynasty to the end of Qing Dynasty published by Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House in 1989, but found nothing.

Such as the Qing Qianlong years Zhai Hao compiled by the "popular chapter" such as "crack fat" and so on. And it doesn't rule out the possibility of being transliterated into other words. However, today's official Chinese name "coffee" should be translated from the Japanese "jia." Because as mentioned above, the Japanese first contact jot down coffee, first open coffee shops, and write it "jia". From! Since 1894, Japan has invaded China on a large scale... so the Chinese name is "coffee". As far as I know, the earliest word "coffee" probably appeared in the early years of the Republic of China in the "Chinese Dictionary"(Zhonghua Publishing House, 1915), meaning also right: "coffee, western drinks, such as tea in China, English COFFEE". Since then, in the 1930s, the word "coffee" has also been included in the "Dictionary" published in the 20th century, and the explanation is detailed and correct. It can be seen that the word "coffee" entered the Chinese vocabulary in the Republic of China era and was fixed and widely used.

It seems difficult to determine when and where foreigners come to China to brew and drink their own coffee. However, it is now known that in the Jiaqing years before the Opium War, foreigners who came to Guangzhou, China's largest treaty port at that time, had already boiled and drank coffee brought in by themselves. Chinese people also feel this eating habit. "There is wine in the ocean…and black wine. The ghosts drink it after dinner. It is said that this wine can digest food." "according to the guangdong general annals, black wine, drinking after meals, and helping digestion, black wine should refer to coffee. Cocoa, which is somewhat similar to it, is mostly eaten in chocolate, and cocoa drinks are not as popular as coffee drinks.

Individual Chinese began drinking coffee probably from the Tongzhi period. In the fifth year of Tongzhi (1866), an American missionary in Shanghai, Mrs. Goppetti published a book called "Making Foreign Rice," which was written for foreigners to eat western food and train Chinese cooks and cooks. In addition to the transliteration of coffee into "knock fat", the book also teaches the method of making and cooking coffee: "Fierce fire to bake knock fat, shovel frequently, do not make it black." Bake well, add a little cream when hot, put it in a covered bottle and cover it well. When necessary, roll it now."# Here first talked about the roasted cooked coffee beans, to be boiled when the drink, just crushed immediately boiled. Later, I will talk about how to add water to make coffee. But it didn't say sugar, so maybe it missed something. Most of those trained by foreigners to make Western coffee are employed Chinese, who cannot avoid a sip of coffee because of their work needs. When foreigners eat western food and drink coffee in China, they sometimes invite Chinese officials and their Chinese acquaintances to eat, drink and drink. It can be seen that Chinese people have tasted coffee during Tongzhi years. The coffee shop appeared in China probably in the late Qing Dynasty. According to Xu Ke, a person at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China,"drinking coffee: there are coffee shops in Europe and America, which are slightly similar to tea houses in China." Tianjin and Shanghai also have it, which is imitated by Chinese people. They sell sweets to drink." Xu Ke's book takes many notes of Qing people, which can be inferred to have appeared in the late Qing Dynasty. However, this book was published a little later than the Chinese Dictionary, so it is difficult to determine which book used the word "coffee" first. However, the first to be printed in type was the Chinese Dictionary. Can be seen in the Republic of China, coffee shops or hotels attached to the coffee shop in major cities generally appear.

More unclear is the situation regarding when and where coffee cultivation began in China and how its cultivation spread. According to coffee bars in Chinese Encyclopedia·Agriculture Volume and Chinese Agricultural Encyclopedia·Agriculture Volume, coffee was introduced to China Taiwan Province in 1884, introduced to Hainan Province in 1908, and then introduced into Yunnan, Guangxi, Fujian and other places for planting. However, there is no documentary evidence, no source, no argument or reference in this article. Therefore, it remains to be verified. According to the clues provided by the author, I consulted Yu Wenyi's "Continuation of Taiwan's Official Records" written in the late Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, Taiwan's General Records compiled collectively in the Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty, Fujian General Records compiled by Chen Shouqi and others in the late Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, Guangdong General Records compiled by Chen Changzhai and others in the Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty, Guangxi General Records supervised by Xie Qikun in the Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty, and Continued Yunnan General Records written by Wang Wenshao in the Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty. I carefully studied the "products" and "soil suitable" parts of each prefecture and county, but I still could not find any planting. To produce coffee. In addition, the author also consulted "New Book of Natural History" written by British people in Xianfeng of Qing Dynasty,"Textual Research on Plant Name and Reality Map" and "Long Edition" written by Wu Qiyi of Qing Dynasty, but there was no mention in the book. Therefore, this work must continue, and I hope that those who know will be kind enough to show me. The earliest introduction of coffee in the mainland of China probably began in Yunnan Province in the 1900s. At that time, a French missionary brought a batch of coffee seedlings to Binchuan County, Dali Prefecture, Yunnan Province for cultivation. Yunnan has a subtropical climate, modern France is the sphere of influence, Vietnam, Laos and other borders have been French colonies. Therefore, I think it is more credible to say that the French introduced coffee cultivation into Yunnan in the early 20th century. By the time of the Republic of China, it had been established that coffee was produced in the field. 1926-1936 In Taiwan Province, coffee was among the crops encouraged by the Japanese colonial authorities to crowd out sugarcane and rice. From 1926 to 1942, coffee was also one of the crops that increased greatly in Taiwan's sown area. [)](*()%) Hainan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and other places in the mainland of the motherland also have introduced cultivation and production. Therefore, it can only be confirmed that coffee cultivation and production had already taken place in China on the eve of the Republic of China and during the Republic of China. Coffee cultivation developed after liberation.

Coffee drinking habits, coffee cultivation and cafes spread in China, but also gradually formed a coffee diet culture with Chinese characteristics. In terms of language, the new word coffee has been formed, and on this basis common words such as caffeine-caffeine and coffee color have been formed. Since the reform and opening up, coffee shops and coffee drinking have become popular in China, and popular songs such as "good wine and coffee, one cup after another" have been popular. Some families have also prepared coffee cups and instant coffee drinks. It is believed that with the construction of socialism with characteristics and a well-off society in an all-round way, coffee shops, coffee drinking and coffee culture will further develop and popularize in China.
