In recent years, China's coffee consumption market has been growing at a rate of 10% to 15% every year. Not only consumption, but also the development of coffee cultivation in China has attracted more and more attention from the world. The best growing environment for coffee is low latitude, high altitude, sufficient rainfall and suitable sunshine, so it is an ideal growing zone between 15 degrees north latitude and the Tropic of Cancer. Brazil is a well-known traditional coffee producing area, known as the "coffee kingdom". In China, Pu'er, the thousand-year-old tea town in Yunnan, is now known as the coffee capital of China. Pu'er belongs to the area of low latitude and middle altitude, which is the golden zone of growing coffee. It is in the same latitude as Colombia, which is a famous coffee growing place in the world. It has the natural conditions and advantages for the development of coffee industry.

To 2011, Yunnan Province has planted more than 860000 mu of coffee and produced more than 55000 tons of coffee, an increase of 33.06% and 11.33% respectively over the same period last year. The acreage and output have accounted for more than 98% of the country, and exports account for more than 95% of the country. Coffee cultivation has brought about earth-shaking changes in once-poor villages. In Dakaihe Village, Pu'er City, the whole village is surrounded by lush tea and curry gardens, and two-story buildings built with marble tiles on both sides of the village road can be seen everywhere.
