Coffee is a kind of beverage crop with high economic value, which is called the world's three major beverages together with cocoa and tea. Its output and consumption rank first among the three beverages. Because coffee is rich in protein, fat, sucrose and starch, glucose, caffeine and other substances, aroma rich, delicious taste. Coffee is a perennial evergreen shrub or small tree belonging to the genus Coffea of Rubiaceae. There are many kinds of coffee. It is widely planted with small seeds, medium seeds, large seeds and Esselsa species. Among them, the small coffee species called "fragrant coffee" produces the most, accounting for more than 80% of the total coffee production. Coffee originated in tropical Africa, and since the 15th century coffee has gradually spread to all parts of the world. Coffee is grown in more than 70 countries and regions.

Coffee cultivation in China is concentrated in Yunnan Province and Hainan Province. Yunnan has a relatively large output, with an annual output of about 26,000 tons in recent years, accounting for 90% of the national output. Yunnan coffee is said to have been handed down by the French 70 or 80 years ago. The main production varieties are Arabica Arabica, the so-called small coffee species, commonly known as Yunnan small coffee in China. Yunnan's high-quality geographical climate conditions provide good conditions for coffee growth. The planting areas are Lincang, Baoshan, Simao, Xishuangbanna, Dehong and other prefectures. Yunnan natural conditions and Colombia are very similar, namely low latitude, high altitude, temperature difference between day and night, produced by cup quality analysis, coffee belongs to alcohol flavor, its quality taste similar to Colombia coffee.

However, due to various reasons, Yunnan coffee industry development speed is not fast, Yunnan coffee is mainly exported in the form of raw materials, exports in 2006 about 15,000 tons. More than 60% of the raw materials are purchased by Nestle and Max every year, and Starbucks and Amway have also joined the ranks of acquisitions in recent years.

Due to the lack of deep processing and marketing, Yunnan coffee has a low reputation and is locked in the mountains. It is believed that with the in-depth development of Yunnan coffee industry, the rising demand of domestic coffee market and the efforts of the government and enterprises, Yunnan coffee will usher in a new development period.
