The frost in 1975 destroyed most coffee crops in Brazil, but stimulated the development of coffee in Papua New Guinea. The Government has implemented a scheme to finance the creation of about 20 hectares of coffee plantations in rural or collective land ownership. This measure has indeed increased the penetration of coffee in the local economy, with annual production reaching 1 million bags by 1990.

However, it is almost inevitable that the surge in production leads to a decline in quality. Before 1991, the quality of coffee was good, and most of it belonged to open Y and so on. After 1991, the quality gradually declined, and with it the European market was lost. The extra price of coffee such as Y also gradually fell. This is related to the country's policy of "one grade, one price". This policy is not feasible for an industry as volatile as coffee. As a result, poor quality coffee beans damaged the image of high quality standards such as Y coffee, resulting in a backlog.

The government's response is to establish a new level of quality, temporarily suspend the production of coffee such as Y, and no longer implement the policy of "one grade, one price". This allows buyers to price according to quality, which is bound to have an impact on the income of farmers who produce shoddy coffee beans. By 1993, the quality problem had been basically solved. Most regular customers are buying coffee from Papua New Guinea again. Coffee such as Y is now sold at a slightly lower extra price, indicating that its quality has improved.

Although coffee trees grow vigorously in some places, the coffee beans harvested vary from raw to ripe due to the lack of persistence of the growers. AA is rare, and you can usually buy An and AB grades. The main characteristics of grade A coffee are: plump granules, light acidity and endless aftertaste.

In the 18th century, in 1884 (Guang Xu's 10th year), the British introduced coffee to the three Gorges in Taipei. during the Japanese occupation, the Japanese saw that Taiwan's climate and soil were suitable for coffee, so they introduced "Arabica" from abroad and successfully planted it in the north. Mizuho invested heavily in planting and had a good yield.

In the 19th century, in 1941, rich output and good quality and flavor led to the complete victory of coffee in Taiwan. soon after Japan launched the Pacific War, coffee sales became a problem and there was no one to take care of it. Farmers changed to grow rice, and Japan was defeated and retreated. Coffee declined after no one was interested in it. At present, the larger ones are Antong and Huisun. Around 1931, the Japanese Kimura cafe Company planted coffee in Chiayi and then in Mizuho, Hualien; in 1950, with the help of the US military, instant coffee was introduced to Taiwan, with only Nestle Coffee at the beginning; 1960 was the era of Honey Caf é, when the Star Cafe on Wuchang Street was once a famous clubhouse for domestic literary writers; the first International Coffee Association was established in 1962; coffee was grown on Antong Farm in 1963 A combination of bookish cafes in 1980, garden cafes in central and southern China, European-style coffee shops with personal taste, Japanese-style coffee shops and the most prosperous coffee chain at present.
