The Legend of Zhukula Coffee

In 1892, French missionary Father Tian successfully planted coffee in a place called Zhukula in Yunnan. To this day, 24 coffee trees over 90 years old still grow in Zhukula Village. Zhukula is a mysterious, legendary, and beautiful natural village, belonging to Zhukula Village Committee, Pingchuan Town, Binchuan County, Dali Prefecture, located on the bank of Yupao River, a tributary of the Jinsha River. This is a place where three prefectures meet: Dali Prefecture, Chuxiong Prefecture, and Lijiang City.

More than 100 years ago, Zhukula was called "Ruo Ke Lai" (Yi language), which means "winding mountain road" in Yi. In 1892, due to the arrival of French missionary Father Tian, the essence of Yi language combined with French romance, giving rise to the name Zhukula. Later generations translated Zhukula to mean "paradise on earth."

According to reports, in 1892, French missionary Father Tian, for his own coffee needs, propagated the first coffee tree from coffee berries outside the church, and then cultivated more coffee trees, planting them around the church. From that time on, Zhukula Village began coffee cultivation, and the village has been surrounded by coffee trees ever since. The two oldest elders in the village, Qi Guanghui and Li Fusheng, are both in their eighties this year. They jointly witnessed the formation of China's oldest coffee forest.

Although Zhukula is poor and backward, it is a place with an indissoluble bond with coffee. In addition to everyone growing coffee, villagers have a tradition of drinking coffee: self-grown, self-ground, self-brewed. Now, regardless of gender or age, everyone in the village has the habit of drinking coffee. The villagers here have a special affection for coffee trees. Even if coffee beans have not brought them any economic benefits, the villagers are reluctant to cut down a single coffee tree.

Zhukula Village receives guests with local coffee and walnuts. Although the coffee brewed in earthen jars may not taste the best, this primitive drinking method reflects the Zhukula villagers' love for coffee and is also the highest ceremonial reception for guests. The unique and rich original ecological coffee culture makes everyone who knows Zhukula sigh with admiration - this place is truly worthy of being called China's first coffee village. The Zhukula coffee forest belongs to Arabica beans, Yunnan small-grain Bourbon and Typica varieties.

Today, Yunnan's planted Arabica coffee gardens have exceeded 21,000 hectares.
