A thesis,On the Origin,Development and Spread and Culture of Coffee,was written by Pro-fessor Zhang Jian,Sichuan University in 2006.It is pointed out that when and where China began to intro-duce and cultivate coffee and how the cultivation spread are not clear.Mentioned in Chinese Encyclopedia and Chinese Agricultural Encyclopedia,coffee was introduced to Taiwan in 1884 and introduced to Hainan in 1908,and later introduced to Yunnan,Guangxi and Fujian provinces.Based on a large number of documents,the author visited Taiwan twice and studied the past and present of Taiwan coffee.It is beyond dispute that the exact time of the early introduction of Taiwan coffee was in 1884.As for the early introduction and afforestation of Taiwan coffee and the later form of characteristic coffee culture,they are related to the foreign trade and the Japanese occupation of Taiwan.In addition,Taiwan has its own characteristics and favorable conditions.The cultivation of coffee in Fengtian Village,Hualian County has considerable influence in the coffee cultivation history of Taiwan.
