About
Coffee reached Yunnan with a French missionary around 1900. Large-scale planting began in the 1980s; today the province grows nearly all of China's coffee.
From Wikipedia
Modern cultivation of coffee in China began in 1988. In 2016 and 2017, China was among the top 20 worldwide producers of coffee. Ninety-eight per cent of the coffee grown in China comes from Yunnan province.
