The History of the Orgin of Yunnan Coffee

Yunnan grows coffee! When people are being asked about Yunnan, most would associate it to the place that grows the famous Pu’er Tea. However, Yunnan has a long history of growing coffee all the way back to 1892. The first recorded history shows that in 1892 a French missionary had brought a coffee plant and cultivated it in Binchuan mountain valley of Yunnan province. Chinese people treated coffee as a type of herbal medicine as it has the similar features as ginseng. Nevertheless, after the Communist Revolution of China, the coffee industry decreased from 4,000 hectares to less than 300 hectares in the 70s. 10 years later, as China began its’ Opening and Reform movement, Nestle Company was invited to develop the coffee industry in Yunnan. As a result, by 1997, Yunnan already has 7,800 acres of coffee were being cultivated, and by 2013, that number doubled to 130,000 acres.
