The spread and Development of Coffee in China the Exchange of Coffee Culture in China

After coffee became a popular drink in the southern Arabian Peninsula, it was brought home by Islamists who made a pilgrimage to Mecca, where it began to spread rapidly in Arab countries and landed in Turkey and Persia one after another.

The widespread acceptance of coffee will inevitably lead to the birth of cafes. It is said that the earliest cafes came into being for religious reasons, but they soon evolved into places for people to draw and chat, a tradition that continues to this day.

The history of coffee introduced into China is not long, and it was not until 1884 that coffee was first planted in Taiwan. In the mainland, the earliest coffee cultivation began in Yunnan. At the beginning of the 20th century, French missionaries brought the first batch of coffee saplings to Binchuan County, Yunnan Province, and coffee has been grown on the mainland ever since.

The great potential of China's coffee market can not be ignored. Some internationally renowned coffee companies have chosen Shanghai as their production base and adopted a long-term strategy to expand the Chinese market. At the same time, China is also actively cultivating its own coffee planting base. Yunnan Province in China is very close to the coffee growing areas of Colombia, in which Simao, Lincang, Dehong, Baoshan and other areas have begun to develop coffee planting industry, and the quality of small-grain coffee has been fully affirmed by international coffee organizations. Industry insiders predict that in the near future, these regions will fill the gap in China in the world coffee planting map.

"Coffee" and "instant coffee" are two interchangeable terms. Until the entry of Starbucks in the United States and teahouses in Hong Kong, people began to realize that coffee was not instant coffee, but something else. What is it? It is a stylish, Starbucks abstract painting, jazz and aggressive coffee aroma, and a half-tea and half-coffee drink in a teahouse such as "Yuanyang". Served in exquisite white porcelain plates, it is served with dishes by the waiter. The former, because it is more exotic and fashionable, has become another noun for coffee after "instant coffee". Most of the signs of "coffee and language tea" appear in cafes opened by Taiwanese or Singaporeans, which originally means that they drink coffee but are full of a casual "tea attitude". The atmosphere and feeling are still the social performances of the old teahouse.
