Yunnan Province, China's western region, has emerged as a major coffee-producing hub. Although historically known for tea, coffee cultivation has flourished there for over a century. The province's favorable climate, soil, and geography have contributed to its success. Introduced by missionaries in the late 19th century, coffee's growth accelerated in the 1990s, driven by industry investments. Today, Yunnan boasts a thriving coffee industry with over 120,000 hectares under cultivation.
