Coffee is the first of the three major beverages in the world, one of the most important international trade commodities, and also an important raw material for medicine, food and light chemical industry. in history, there was only "woody coffee" in the world. It is mainly produced in Colombia, Brazil, Indonesia and other countries near the equator. In China, only a small amount of woody coffee is grown in subtropical areas such as Hainan and Yunnan. Most countries do not produce coffee and are in short supply of raw materials. The price is high. The global annual consumption of coffee is more than 7 million tons, and China's annual consumption is about 200000 tons, more than 90% of which depends on imports and consumes a lot of foreign exchange every year. With the improvement of people's living standards, the change of consumption structure and the development of tourism, the consumption of coffee in China and the world is increasing year by year.

Herbal coffee used to be a wild plant of the subfamily Rutaceae, which has been growing under woody coffee trees in Brazil for many years. In China, as early as 1400 years ago, Zen Master Sui Chao thick used its fruit to make "strengthening tea" and presented it to the Sui emperor as a palace tribute, which became a secret recipe of the court and then lost.

In order to explore this new coffee resource, Mr. Li Zhanyi raised funds by himself, with the help of 27 experts and professors from nine universities and research units, including the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and world-famous nutritionist Yu Ruomu. Based on the principles of genetic engineering and biological nitrogen fixation of modern biology and modern agricultural science, since 1988, after more than a decade of hard efforts to cultivate and improve, finally achieved success. A set of complete breeding technology, planting technology, production and use technology of special chemical fertilizer and processing and production technology of coffee series products were summarized. After the sampling comparison and testing of authoritative departments and woody coffee, named after "herbal coffee", and applied for eight national patents, and planted in about 500 counties in 22 provinces, autonomous regions, cities and counties, all of them have achieved success. it breaks the situation of woody coffee dominating the world, and carries out comprehensive application and development by making use of the characteristics of extensive planting areas, rich nutrition, low cost and high added value of the developed products. Instead of expensive imported coffee, it can meet people's growing consumption demand for coffee food, and has significant economic and social benefits. This achievement is listed as the "National key Popularization Plan of Scientific and technological achievements" by the Ministry of Science and Technology as a national project.

Herbal coffee can be completely comparable with woody coffee, and has obvious advantages. Strict tests by more than a dozen authoritative departments, such as the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the former Ministry of Light Industry, the Ministry of Health, the State Ministry of Trade, the National Food quality Supervision and testing Center, and so on, have proved that herbal coffee has the composition, color, aroma and taste of woody coffee. The contents of fat and starch are similar to those of woody coffee: protein, amino acids and iron, zinc, calcium, selenium and other trace elements most needed by the human body are higher than woody coffee. The caffeine content of herbal coffee is moderate, which is in line with the standard of human needs and international food hygiene indexes. the toxicity test shows that the herbal coffee products are non-toxic, no three hazards, no color body damage in product processing, the hygienic index accords with the national standard, and the product quality reaches the Q-4502000LLLX5104-93 enterprise standard. Herbal coffee has the functions of diuresis, defecation, eyesight, protecting liver, strengthening heart, protecting kidney, lowering blood lipids, anti-cancer, losing weight, refreshing, awakening, increasing memory and anti-aging, and is rich in nutrition. It is a new resource of health food.

Because "herbal coffee" adopts proprietary technology for breeding, planting and special fertilizer and medicine regulation, it can be planted in east, west, south, north and middle of China, and it can also be planted in Asia, Africa, America, South America and other countries. Extensive trials on land in many countries show that a season of beans can be produced in 140 days in a frost-free period, with a yield of about 300 kg per mu, a double harvest in a frost-free period of more than 260 days, and a yield of about 500 kg per mu, which can be planted in most lands of the world. By comparison, the color, aroma and taste are more or less the same as woody coffee. After testing and testing by authoritative departments, the most beneficial ingredients such as iron, zinc, calcium, selenium and protein in herbal coffee are higher than those in woody coffee, while caffeine and fat are lower than those in woody coffee. It has been identified as a new coffee resource by experts from the Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Light Industry, Food Supervision and Inspection Center and world coffee experts of the people's Republic of China. Because it also has the functions of strengthening stomach, protecting liver, moistening lung, protecting kidney, clearing intestines, anti-aging, anti-senile dementia, reducing obesity, refreshing, awakening, eyesight and so on. It is called "nutritious coffee" by experts of domestic and international coffee organizations. This raw material comes from a wide range of sources, and the price (cost) is only 1/3 of that of woody coffee. And the content is better than that of Benmu coffee. The market potential is great and the competitiveness is strong.
