Yunnan coffee was planted on a large scale in the mid-1950s, and the planting scale once reached 4000 hectares. By the end of 1997, the province's coffee planting area had reached 7800 hectares. At present, the province's planting area accounts for 70% of the country's area, and its output accounts for 83% of the country's total.

Coffee comes from coffee beans, which in turn are harvested and processed from the fruits of trees. Coffee trees grow in tropical or subtropical countries with the equator as the center, between 25 degrees north and south latitude, called coffee belt. At present, there are more than 60 coffee producing countries. Coffee producing areas are distributed in South America, Central America, West Indies, Asia, Africa, Arabia, South Pacific Ocean and Oceania. In terms of output, Brazil ranks first in the world in terms of output, accounting for about 30%. The second place is Central and South America centered on Colombia, followed by Africa, The remaining 10% is distributed in Asia and the islands.

Some coffee producing areas that are usually considered to be of average quality will also produce surprising fine coffee.

In order to expand coffee cultivation, Europeans tried to transplant coffee to their colonies in warm regions. The Netherlands was the first country to successfully transplant coffee. In 1696, the Dutch began the first attempt at transplanting coffee. Wittsen of Amsterdam suggested that coffee should be transported to Java (a former Dutch colony) for cultivation, but unfortunately, the coffee seeds were washed away by floods. The Dutch failed at their first attempt. In 1699, a Dutchman named Javid Klan finally brought a coffee cutting to Java. Coffee began to thrive in Asia. Coffee cultivation soon spread to Sumatra and Celebes in Indonesia.
