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.
