In fact, Arabs began growing coffee in 525 BC, and chewing roasted coffee beans became popular in Arabia. In 890 AD, Arab merchants sold coffee beans to Yemen, and Yemen made coffee beans into a beverage for the first time. In the 15th century, coffee was introduced into Europe, Asia, and soon into America. By the 18th century, coffee was widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions of the world and became one of the three major beverages in the world. Coffee ranks first among the top three beverages in annual sales, three times that of cocoa and four times that of tea. Coffee has been cultivated for more than 2000 years. However, coffee cultivation in China has only a few hundred years of experience. In 1884, coffee was introduced into Taiwan Province. At the beginning of the 20th century, overseas Chinese brought coffee back from Malaysia and planted it in Hainan Province. Later, the southern tropical and subtropical provinces began to plant coffee one after another. Although the cultivation time is relatively short, the coffee in Hainan Province and Yunnan Province of our country has superior quality and unique charm, and enjoys high reputation in the world. After some foreign businessmen buy it at a low price, it becomes a world-class beverage with expensive value after processing and selling it to the international market. Especially, the Arabica coffee planted in Yunnan Province has a large temperature difference between day and night in Yunnan, which is conducive to the accumulation of its contents. Therefore, it tastes strong but not bitter, fragrant but not strong, rich in oil and fruity. Therefore, it has been praised by coffee merchants at home and abroad as "the best quality coffee in the world".
