Simple Description of Coffee Plantation in China

In China, there are three places where coffee can be planted. One is Yunnan, where they plant arabica beans; The second one is Hainan, where they plant only robusta beans. The third one is Taiwan, no idea what they have. Suppose that they have only robusta beans, due to the low atitude.

The arabica beans of Yunnan is tasted great, in drip coffee. It is not good for espresso. The beans from Hainan is not good for drip coffee, but maybe good for some blends of espresso or drip coffee. Not sure, because we never tried it as in any blends.

I've had Arabica from Taiwan. It was pretty foul... granted it was roasted in Taiwan. There is actually a shop in Taipei that carries CoEs and Esmeralda, amongst other usual suspects and arabica from Taiwan and Thailand.
