Coffee Entering China Time Imported Coffee Local Coffee Coffee History Origin

When the banshee image of Starbucks is gradually known to the Chinese people, the Chinese coffee culture has gradually entered the lives of the Chinese people. Throughout the history of the development of Chinese coffee culture, we may be able to find the pace of coffee, the ancient Arab culture invading the birthplace of tea culture in the world.

According to historical records, as early as 2000 BC, the Ajiao people of Ethiopia had already picked and grown coffee on the tropical highlands of Kafa province. The birthplace of modern coffee should be originated in ancient Arabia. According to legend, a little shepherd boy accidentally found that the sheep had eaten coffee beans and kept jumping. Out of curiosity, he also tasted a few, and he was really excited. Later, an Arab monk was inspired to make a "coffee bean meat soup", which unexpectedly sold well and caused a sensation in the market. It was not until someone fried the coffee beans, crushed them, boiled them with water and added sugar that they became a mellow drink. In 1615, the world's first coffee shop was established in the port of Venice in the Mediterranean. Thus leading the trend of modern coffee culture. Coffee was found in North Africa and Arabia, to its popularity in Europe in the Middle Ages, to its popularity in North America and Europe in modern times. So when did coffee enter Oriental China, a country with thousands of years of tea culture, in writing? It is impossible to verify when the finished coffee entered China, and the earliest coffee recorded in the history books was the planting of China's first coffee tree in Taiwan in 1884. In the tenth year of Guang Xu of the Qing Dynasty (AD 1884), a British tea merchant found that the climate of Taiwan was very similar to that of Central and South America.
