China’s rise on the global coffee scene was started over 25 years ago when Swiss food giant Nestle started working with local growers in Yunnan province, improving both yields and raising quality in the process. While no one can ignore the importance of Starbucks as the instrumental force behind the explosion in coffee culture, it can similarly be argued that it’s thanks to Nestle that China’s local coffee production is now taking off. Most of China’s Arabica coffee is fully washed and the quality is often compared to lower grade high grown Central American beans.
