At the beginning of the 20th century, missionaries from France planted Chinese mainland's first coffee tree in Zhukula, Yunnan Province. According to historical records, coffee was first planted in Taiwan in 1884, which opened the prelude to the development of coffee in China. In the following nearly a hundred years, coffee was only "dotted" in the vast territory of China.

However, in recent years, the development of coffee cultivation and consumption in China has attracted more and more attention of the world. Flatow, Maxwell, Nestl é, Columbia and other coffee companies have set up branches or factories in China to provide better varieties and prices for the Chinese market. As a part of the western way of life, coffee has officially entered the Chinese family and life, and has become a new consumption fashion for young people, decorating urban customs.

In China, people like drinking coffee more and more. The "coffee culture" that follows is full of every moment of life. Coffee gradually developed into a culture. Whether it is freshly ground coffee beans or freshly brewed hot coffee, it exudes a rich aroma and makes people intoxicated. There are many ways to indulge in taste: Italian espresso, cappuccino, flavored coffee. Chinese people also gradually like to make their own coffee. Using roasted coffee beans, filter pots and filter paper to make a cup of fresh coffee also has a different taste.

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 a much-needed 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, and become the Chinese people's own coffee brand, thus having China's own unique coffee culture.
