Chinese Coffee Culture

The history of the introduction of coffee into China is not long, and it was not until 1884 that coffee was first planted in Taiwan Province. In the mainland of the motherland, the earliest coffee cultivation began in Yunnan. At the beginning of the 20th century, French missionaries brought the first batch of coffee saplings to Binchuan County, Yunnan Province, and began to grow coffee in the mainland.

In terms of natural conditions, many parts of China are very close to Latin America, South America, India, Indonesia and other places, with congenital conditions for coffee cultivation. Chinese people have been drinking tea for thousands of years. as the origin of tea in the world, people more or less ignore or despise coffee as a foreign beverage in their consumption habits and concepts. for quite a long time after coffee was introduced into China, the cultivation of coffee has not been paid enough attention by people, and the development is extremely slow.

In recent years, with the impact of foreign culture and the change of life style, coffee has entered the lives of ordinary Chinese people more and more, and coffee cultivation has gradually developed in China.

Now, there are considerable coffee planting bases in Yunnan, Hainan, Guangxi, Guangdong and other provinces. Some famous coffee companies in the world have set up branches in China. They not only sell coffee products to China, but also purchase coffee beans from coffee planting bases in China, which not only promotes coffee sales in China, but also promotes the development of coffee planting industry.

For Chinese people, for a long time, "coffee" and "instant coffee" are two interchangeable terms. Until the entry of some foreign tea restaurants and coffee shops, people began to realize that coffee is not instant coffee, but another kind of thing. Coffee is a fashion. It is an abstract painting, jazz and aggressive coffee aroma from the Italian Pascucci Cafe; it is a combination of Chinese and Western drinks served by waiters on exquisite white porcelain plates. Because it is more exotic and fashionable, it has become another synonym for coffee.
