Origin of Yunnan Small Grain

In 1892, French missionary Father Tian successfully planted coffee in a place called Zhukula in Yunnan Province. Up to now, 24 coffee trees with more than 100 years old still grow in Zhukula Township. Zhukula is a mysterious, legendary and beautiful natural village, belonging to Zhukula Village Committee of Pingchuan Town, Binchuan County, Dali Prefecture. It is located on the bank of Yupao River, a tributary of Jinsha River. This is a place where Dali Prefecture, Chuxiong Prefecture and Lijiang City meet.

More than 100 years ago, Zhu Kula was called "Ruoke Lai"(Yi language), which means curved mountain road. In 1892, due to the arrival of French missionary Father Tian, the essence of Yi language and French romance were combined, so there was the name Zhu Kula, which later generations translated as "heaven on earth".

According to reports, in 1892, French missionary Father Tian used coffee fruit to breed the first coffee tree outside the church door for his own coffee needs, and then cultivated more coffee trees and planted them around the church. Since then, Jukula village began coffee cultivation, and the village has been surrounded by coffee trees ever since. Qi Guanghui and Li Fusheng, the two oldest elders in the village, are both in their eighties this year. Together, they witnessed the formation of China's oldest coffee forest.

Although Zhukula is poor and backward, it is a place that has an indissoluble bond with coffee. In addition to the cultivation of coffee by the whole people, the villagers have a tradition of drinking coffee: self-cultivation, self-grinding, self-cooking, and now the village has the habit of drinking coffee regardless of men, women and children. Villagers here have a special feeling for coffee trees. Even if coffee beans do not bring them any economic benefits, villagers are reluctant to cut down a coffee tree.

Zhukula Village receives guests with local coffee and walnuts. Although the coffee brewed in earthen pots does not taste the best, this primitive drinking method reflects the villagers 'love for coffee and is also the highest courtesy reception for guests. The unique and rich original ecological coffee culture makes everyone who knows Zhu Kula have to sigh. It deserves to be called the first coffee village in China.

Zhukula coffee forest belongs to Arabica, bourbon and Typica varieties.

By 2014, the coffee planting area of Yunnan Province is 1.83 million mu, and it is estimated that the coffee planting area of Yunnan Province will reach 2.8 million mu by 2020.
