The word coffee has always been incompatible with China, conditioned people will associate tea with the East, as a contrast, coffee is the West. But in fact, the coffee we drink every day comes from all over the world, and a variety of national names are printed on the packaging of coffee bags, so coffee actually comes from all directions. I even heard that Starbucks in China uses Yunnan coffee beans, but the editor has not verified this information. if it is true, it should be vigorously publicized.

Zhukula Coffee is famous for its coffee growing history. In 1892, in the 18th year of Guang Xu in the Qing Dynasty, French missionary Tian Deneng went to the village of Zhu Kula to carry out missionary activities. He planted a coffee seed from Vietnam on the edge of the church in the village. Inadvertently inserting willow into shade, no one thought that a coffee tree planted by missionaries had achieved Zhu Kula's century-old coffee classic. The seeds that fell from the coffee trees planted by the priest made a coffee forest grow around the church, which is the 24 century-old coffee trees that still exist in the village of Zhukula. Times have changed, and the coffee tree planted by Tian Deneng froze to death in the heavy snow in 1984, and only the mottled church still stands in the center of the village.

Due to the reason of bu (zixin), Yunnan coffee has not entered the public eye after a hundred years of history. It seems that consumers have made an agreement to buy Italian coffee, Colombian coffee, Brazilian coffee and even bu suan coffee. Now, Yunnan coffee is coming. Would you like to have a try?

History of coffee beans in Yunnan

Legend has it that 150 years ago, the French came to Pu'er Lancang in Yunnan and asked the local leaders to give them a piece of land to build a church. Because of the xenophobic ideas, the boss came up with a way to make it difficult for the foreigner. He threw a piece of cowhide and said, "the size of this cowhide is the area of the land I built the church for you."

Originally thought that this person must retreat in the face of difficulties, but unexpectedly, the Frenchman unexpectedly cut the cowhide into thin strips and formed a large circle, in which he not only built a church, but also planted coffee trees. According to legend, the earliest Pu'er coffee also began.

According to verification, several century-old coffee trees are still growing at the foot of an old man's slope, although these old trees are second-generation coffee trees planted by old wood seeds thrown away by the old man, but the years can be traced back to a hundred years ago. In terms of size, the coffee tree with a diameter of more than 10 centimeters also has a history of several decades. If it is a century-old tree, the perimeter of the root base is longer, and the one found is already very large. After historical research and years of research, it can be concluded that the first coffee seed in Donghe Township of Pu'er Lancang should have been planted around 1895.

The old man remembered that the old coffee tree had 5-6 Michael. When he was young, he used a rope to hang on the coffee tree and swung. Now, there are still three ancient coffee trees, which have a history of more than 100 years, and the elevation here is 1600 meters.

It is said that there is still a small amount of coffee brought by the French, and the local minorities call them "foreigners". The interviewer also visited the local people, and an 80-year-old woman told him that her husband knew foreigners and that she had picked and dried coffee in the past. When asked if she had had coffee in the past, she smiled and said no, because the coffee was for the "old foreigner".
