Enter Lujiang Dam, go straight north along Liuman Highway for less than 20 minutes, and you will arrive at Xinzhai Village, Lujiang Town, Longyang District.

Xinzhai Village is located at the foot of the magical and charming Gaoligong Mountain, adjacent to the magnificent Nujiang River in the east. Seven years ago, I arrived at Xinzhai Village for the first time. During this period, I came to this village countless times because of my work relationship. I arrived again seven years later. In just a few years, this village has undergone earth-shaking changes quietly. What remains unchanged is that the village still revolves around a common theme, that is coffee. A tree coffee a tree song, this is a village singing in the coffee bush.

Lujiangba is famous for its unique natural conditions and fine planting management level. According to records, as early as 1950s and 1990s, Lujiang coffee won the reputation of "Lujiang No.1" because of its rich aroma, mellow taste, strong but not bitter, fragrant but not strong, very similar to Blue Mountain coffee, and won back the "Eureka" gold medal, which was deeply loved by consumers.

Xinzhai Village has a history of planting coffee for nearly 50 years. In the last century, the village mainly planted vegetables, fruits and melons. Xinzhai people continue to be diligent from generation to generation. The watermelon and lantern spicy planted are famous. In 1989, coffee was grown on a large scale in the village after seeing that coffee grown by farmers near farms was very valuable. By 1995, the vast majority of households in the village had been planted. However, with the sharp ups and downs of coffee prices in 1997,1999 and 2002, the coffee fields of Xinzhai Coffee Farmers have also been planted and turned over, and the coffee road of Xinzhai people to prosperity is slowly moving forward in swing and turbulence.

From 2009 to 2010, in the face of severe drought, more than 3000 mu of coffee was sunburned and harvested. CCTV related programs reported on the drought. In the shooting report, it was found that there were few coffee villages with such a scale of ten thousand mu in China. Since 2011, in order to effectively prevent farmers from fluctuating blindly with market changes and further turn coffee planting road into Xinzhai people's road to prosperity, four professional coffee cooperatives have been established in the village with the care and help of all levels, with a membership rate of 95%. The cooperative effectively reduces the intermediate operation cost of coffee, improves the income of coffee farmers and reduces market risks. In recent years, funds for comprehensive agricultural development projects have been continuously invested in Xinzhai, tractor roads have been widened from narrow to wide, dirt roads have been changed into cement roads, sprinkler irrigation, ditches, solar insecticidal lamps and other facilities have been gradually built, planting conditions have changed in the past, and output value has been greatly improved.

It is also after this that Xinzhai coffee farmers can gradually face the market rationally. At present, the village has 13,600 mu of coffee planted at low, medium and high altitudes. It is the administrative village with the largest planting area of small coffee in China. Its planting area accounts for 95% of the total cultivated area of the village, reaching 5.7 mu per person, with an annual output of 3000 tons and an output value of 60 million yuan, which has become the main source of income for the local people. Xinzhai Village is therefore known as "China's first coffee village" and has been recognized by the Ministry of Agriculture as a "national village and one product" demonstration village. At present, Xinzhai has its own brands such as Xinzhai Farm Coffee, Shian Coffee, Yunli Coffee, Ruixi Manor, etc.

In addition to the coffee in this village, the coffee fields in neighboring villages and Xinzhai coffee fields are also connected together, one after another, with a total area of about 30,000 mu. Looking from the observation platform just built on the other side of Nujiang River or at the head of the village, more than 30,000 mu of coffee mountain is connected to the mountain, the ground is connected to the ground, and the straight main road is like a dragon full of power, magnificent and magnificent. And different seasons, along the dragon trunk road in the coffee field, in the cobblestone paved fork walk, coffee flowers when ten thousand acres of coffee white, coffee fruit just bear ten thousand acres of coffee green, coffee fruit ripe ten thousand acres of coffee red scene, let people all marvel, in the seasonal time and space through, in the coffee jungle singing.

What is more interesting is that in recent years, Xinzhai has three breeding civets, breeding more than 20 civets to produce "cat excrement coffee". Civets eat fresh coffee, ferment and digest it in their bodies, and eventually discharge it as feces. Such "coffee beans" after selection, drying, deodorizing, processing and baking several processes, the coffee produced rare, unique, expensive, become the hot goods on the international market.

Since 2015, Xinzhai has successively undertaken activities related to "China·Baoshan Lujiangba Second Coffee Culture Tourism Festival", bicycle mountain cross-country race and the second Yunnan Coffee Cup·China Brewing Finals. Coffee quality appraisers, coffee roasting experts and cycling enthusiasts from all over the world gather in this beautiful mountain village with beautiful mountains and flowers. This beautiful and peaceful village boils in cheers.

Wang Jiawei, secretary of the Party General Branch of Xinzhai Village, was very excited when introducing the blueprint for the future of Xinzhai: in the next step, Xinzhai will take green, ecological and environmental protection as the basic concepts, highlight the coffee theme, and vigorously promote the development and construction of coffee manor around "three constructions and one building", that is, to build a coffee processing experience, coffee culture display, coffee tourism and sightseeing, coffee product sales, tourism catering and accommodation services as one of the "coffee theme farms"; Construction of a bicycle sports theme "ten thousand mu coffee garden bicycle training competition base"; construction of a collection of beach sports, entertainment as one of the "Xiaozhai River Beach Paradise"; to create an old Jianshan, Youzhupo, Dayangchang three anti-Japanese sites as nodes of outdoor tourism routes. Xinzhai in the future will become the well-deserved "first village of Chinese coffee" not only in terms of coffee quantity, but also in terms of coffee quality and rural tourism brand.

Coffee fragrance floating in the air, coffee culture permeates in the fields, in Xinzhai, regardless of men and women, regardless of age, coffee can be talked about. The taste of Xinzhai is the taste of coffee. Walk into Xinzhai and enjoy the commitment of coffee to a village together. Feel the solidarity of a village with coffee.
