Qianjie-an introduction to the origin of coffee in China

In 1892, the French missionary Father Tian used coffee fruit to breed the first coffee tree outside the church for his own coffee needs. Since then, he began to grow coffee in Zhukula Village, Yunnan Province. Up to now, there are still 24 coffee trees which are more than 90 years old in Zhukula Township, Yunnan Province.

Although Zhu Kula is poor and backward, it has an inextricable bond with coffee. In addition to growing coffee all over the country, the villagers all have a tradition of drinking coffee: self-growing, self-grinding and self-brewing, and now men, women and children in the village have the habit of drinking coffee.

Zhukula Village receives guests with local coffee and walnuts, and the coffee made from local cans is not the best, but this primitive drinking method reflects the villagers' love for coffee and is also the highest etiquette reception for the guests. The unique and rich original coffee culture makes everyone who knows Zhu Kula have to sigh that it is worthy of the first coffee village in China.

The florescence of small seed coffee in Yunnan is from February to July, and the flowering period is from March to May. The flowering of coffee is greatly affected by climate, especially rainfall and temperature. Coffee flowers have a short life span of only 2-3 days. Small seed coffee usually opens at 3: 5 in the morning and blooms from 5 to 7 o'clock. The development time of coffee fruit is longer. It takes 8 to 10 months for the fruit of small seed coffee to mature, and it usually ripens in October to December of the same year.

Small-grain coffee is suitable for growing in the mountains at an altitude of 800 to 1800 meters. If the altitude is too high, it will taste sour, and if it is too low, it will taste bitter. Small grains of coffee are mostly planted in dry and hot valleys about 1100 meters above sea level, so they are moderately sour, rich and mellow. There is a unique environment suitable for the growth of small seed coffee in many areas of Yunnan, and the quality of small seed coffee is excellent. The average temperature of Lujiangba in Baoshan is 21.5℃, and the highest is 40.4 ℃, which is basically frost-free all the year round. It is recognized as the best producing area of small-grain coffee. The small-grain coffee cultivated here is famous at home and abroad for its strong but not bitter, fragrant but not strong, well-proportioned small noodles, mellow and fruity.
