When was coffee introduced into China? How does coffee spread to China? The development of coffee in China

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. 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 very slow.

In terms of natural conditions, many parts of China are very close to Latin America, South America, India, Indonesia and other places, with the congenital conditions of coffee cultivation, but the traditional culture and customs restrict the development of coffee in China. Until recent years, as more coffee has entered the lives of ordinary Chinese people, and with the impact of foreign culture and way of life, coffee cultivation has gradually developed in China. Now, there are considerable coffee planting bases in Yunnan, Hainan, Guangxi, Guangdong and other provinces in China, and some world-famous coffee companies, such as Maxwell, Nestl é, Colombia and so on, 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 promote coffee sales in China, but also promote the development of coffee planting industry.
