The earliest coffee cultivation in mainland China began in Yunnan, when a French missionary brought the first coffee seedlings to Binchuan County in Yunnan Province at the beginning of the 20th century. In the following nearly a hundred years, coffee was only "dotted" in the vast territory of China. However, in recent years, the development of coffee cultivation and consumption in China has attracted more and more attention of the world. Maxwell, Nestle, Colombia and other international coffee companies have set up branches or factories in China to provide better varieties and prices for the Chinese market. As a part of the Western way of life, coffee has officially entered the Chinese family and life; cafes in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other big cities have sprung up with the growth of coffee culture, becoming a new consumption fashion for young people, decorated with urban customs.
