Last Updated: 2026/04/08, The History and Culture of Coffee cultivation in China; the taste treatment of coffee varieties; the cultivation and production of coffee has always been monopolized by Arabs in the 17th century. At that time, it was mainly used in medicine and religion, and doctors and monks admitted that coffee had the effects of refreshing, awakening, strengthening the stomach, strengthening the body and stopping bleeding. Since the beginning of the 15th century, the use of coffee has been documented and melted during this period.

The cultivation and production of coffee in the 17th century has always been monopolized by Arabs. At that time, it was mainly used in medicine and religion, and doctors and monks admitted that coffee had the effects of refreshing, awakening, strengthening the stomach, strengthening the body and stopping bleeding. The use of coffee was documented at the beginning of the 15th century and was integrated into religious ceremonies during this period. At the same time, it also appeared in the folk as a daily drink. Because drinking was strictly forbidden in Islam, coffee became a very important social drink at that time.

In 1570, when the Turkish army besieged Vienna and failed to retreat, a bag of black seeds was found in the Turkish army's barracks. No one knew what it was. A Polish man who had lived in Turkey took the bag of coffee and opened his first coffee shop in Vienna. At the end of the 16th century, coffee began to spread into Europe on a large scale through Italy in the name of "Islamic wine". It is said that at that time, some Catholics thought coffee was a "devil's drink" and encouraged Pope Clemon VIII to ban it, but after the pope tasted it, he thought it was drinkable and blessed it, so coffee became more and more popular in Europe.

At first, coffee was expensive in Europe. Only aristocrats could drink coffee, and coffee was even called "black gold". Until 1690, a Dutch captain sailed to Yemen and got some coffee seedlings, which were successfully planted in Indonesia. In 1727, the wife of a diplomat in Dutch Guiana gave some coffee seeds to a Spaniard in Brazil, where he planted them with good results. The climate in Brazil is very suitable for coffee growth, and coffee has spread rapidly in South America since then. Coffee, which has fallen in price due to mass production, has become an important drink for Europeans.

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.

In the 1930s, the earliest cafe in Shanghai opened on the Bund for foreign sailors to enjoy their coffee, perhaps with a sense of relieving homesickness. Coffee at that time was called "cough potion" by Shanghainese. Of course, this is just a segment of the Shanghai Cafe. In Shanghai at that time, there were many overseas Chinese who returned from overseas. They kept the habit of drinking coffee in their lives-not just going to the cafe. More often, they taste strong coffee in their own restaurant or living room.

As coffee is widely known as a drink with a long history, coffee is being accepted by more and more Chinese people. Some data show that China's coffee consumption is increasing year by year, and is expected to become an important coffee consumer in the world. Today, Yunnan coffee produced in China's own land, with its noble quality and low price, will promote this trend, guide this fashion, become the Chinese people's own coffee brand, and have China's own unique coffee culture.
