A white sign with black text and a photo of a man in a suit, likely a historical figure, is mounted on a wall. The sign tells the story of the introduction of coffee to Zhu Kula village in Da Li Bai Zu Zi Zhi Zhou, China (latitude: 25.696, longitude: 100.162). According to the sign, the village was founded by Catholic believers before liberation and the missionaries established a church to preach in the village, along with a church school for children of the believers, both of which have been preserved well since then. The sign mentions that Zhu Kula village is one of the earliest sites to introduce and plant coffee in China. De-husking with a pestle and mortar, sun drying, de-husking with a stone roller, roasting and brewing with a millstone grinding, with an iron pot, traditional pots, as well as its coffee making process are highlighted as historical relics. The sign states that drinking coffee is a lively demonstration of complete preservation for the introduction of alien species to China's agriculture and it also features a close connection with religions culture. The sign is credited to Alfred Liè tard and photographed by Chen Dexin.
