This story is mostly about coffee, but China is front-and-center. When I first came here, coffee was commonly available, but it was generally the instant variety. There were a handful of restaurants that offered Starbucks-quality, machine-made coffee, though, and I was able to order coffee beans from the U.S., so I was happy. Since then I've located a supplier in Yunnan who is able to roast the beans to my specification (the darkest setting), as long as the fire dept. doesn't get called there before he finishes roasting my order (he's located in Dayan, Lijiang's "ancient city"). There's even some beans and coffee-making equipment available locally now. But still, instant is by far preferred among Chinese consumers.
