The earliest coffee planting in the mainland 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. Now in Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Taiwan and Xiamen in Fujian, there are coffee trees introduced more than 100 years ago, which is also equivalent to Chinese coffee. The coffee culture of Chinese mainland should have originated from the Anglo-French-Japanese concession in old Shanghai. It should be said that the coffee culture in Shanghai was the earliest in foreign countries, and the coffee shop at that time was a place infested by excellent Chinese.

One day he found that the sheep were suddenly out of order. Usually and obedient, they suddenly cheered up and jumped up. Cuddy was a little upset. He found that the sheep had eaten a kind of red fruit, so he picked a few of them and tasted them. He felt exhausted, energetic and enthusiastic.

So the Dutch transplanted it to Ceylon in 1696 and transplanted it to Jakarta in Indonesia in 1699. Indonesia became the first country in Asia to make coffee.

In 1884, the British first spread coffee to Taiwan, and Taiwan began to cultivate coffee. In the era of Japanese occupation, coffee was very popular in Taiwan. In 1892, French missionaries brought coffee from Vietnam to Binchuan County, Yunnan Province, which was the earliest record of coffee cultivation in China. At present, coffee cultivation in China mainly meets in Yunnan and some parts of Hainan. The history of coffee drinking abroad can be traced back to the late Qing Dynasty. With the opening of the door, coffee began to emerge in the inland cities in the east.
