I can say that for a fact I have tasted coffee grown in Hainan and coffee grown in Yunnan.  Taste is a personal issue but I prefer the coffee grown in Hainan over Yunnan coffee.  Hainan coffee is more robust and full-bodied; Yunnan coffee is a bit like Vietnamese coffee.

 

In any case, they are both good types of coffee, not easy to come by in China.

nevermind:

Vietnamese coffee is vietnamese coffee because of the process of making it, it has nothing to do with the beans.

Actually you are quite wrong here, dear nevermind.  Go ask the Coffeegrowers Association about this one -- different plants of coffee produce different results.  Sorry.

From wikipedia, nevermind, for your edification: Of the two main species grown, arabica coffee (from C. arabica) is generally more highly regarded than robusta coffee (from C. canephora); robusta tends to be bitter and have less flavor but better body than arabica. For these reasons, about three-quarters of coffee cultivated worldwide is C. arabica.[32] Robusta strains also contain about 40–50% more caffeine than arabica.[40] For this reason, it is used as an inexpensive substitute for arabica in many commercial coffee blends. Good quality robusta beans are used in traditional Italian espresso blends to provide a full-bodied taste and a better foam head (known as crema).[41]

nevermind:

I don't see the word "Vietnam" in any of that text. Vietnamese coffee is brewed with smaller grinds and condensed milk, the "vietnamese" refers to this method of making it, not to the beans.

Yunnan and Hainan are the only places in China that I know of that grow coffee.

As for "produce" coffee, there's probably a few in the back behind your local Starbucks.

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
