As a coffee lover, do you want to taste the oldest coffee in China—the Zhukula Coffee?

The Zhukula Coffee is named after the name of the village Zhukula where it has been planted for more than one hundred years. To tell the story of Zhukula Coffee to more coffee lovers, Yunnan Provincial Museum opened a Hundred-Year-Old Zhukula Coffee Museum in Kunming on September 6.

 Located in Pingchuan Township, west Yunnan’s Bingchuan County, the Zhukula Village is 600 kilometers away from Kunming. In 1892, a french missionary Tian Deneng came to Zhukula to preach the Christian religion. Tian not only built a church in the village, but also introduced coffee seedlings to Zhukula. Since then, the local villagers began to plant coffee trees and drink coffee. Nowadays, there are 1,134 coffee trees in the village and 24 of them are more than 100 years old.
