Description

Coffee was first introduced to China in the 1800s by French missionaries in Yunnan. This initial introduction did not lead to any commercial scaling. In the 1960s government initiatives were introduced to increase production and commercial interest but this had little affect. Not until a fresh round of government schemes in the late 80s did coffee in China get the kick start it needed. Although in speciality it is still very much an emerging origin. Mr Hu is a Yunnan native who has been producing coffee For 20 years.
