Yunnan is China's largest coffee producing area. In 2025, China's coffee planting area will be approximately 1.55 million acres, with an output of 173,100 tons, 98% of which will come from Yunnan. As the capital city of Yunnan Province and the innovation center of coffee consumption, Kunming has a leading consumer market with diverse scenarios. There are more than 2,400 coffee market entities in the city.

After completion, it will integrate one-stop purchasing of coffee and utensils, coffee culture display, coffee roasting experience and coffee competitions. It will also integrate industrial heritage display, coffee culture science popularization, theme check-in and immersive experience to create a new cultural tourism landmark integrating industrial heritage and coffee culture.

Li Gongqin, secretary-general of the Yunnan Coffee Industry Association, said that the park is not a concentration of cafes, but a substantive exploration of the Yunnan coffee industry's shift from "raw material thinking" to "ecosystem thinking", accurately hitting the industry's pain points. "We hope that the park can truly open up the upgrade path of Yunnan's coffee industry, allow coffee farmers to sell their beans at a good price, make the Yunnan coffee brand remembered by more people, and make 'Chinese coffee' more Chinese-style," he said.

Hu Lu, vice president of the Yunnan Coffee Industry Association, said that he looks forward to exploring the expression of Chinese coffee through the combination of coffee with Yunnan tea, Yunnan medicine, Yunnan flowers, Yunnan fruit and other special Yunnan products, and making the park the source of Chinese coffee creativity.
