In the minds of Brazilians, Brazilian Santos is Brazil's coffee ambassador. Santos, located in the state of Sao Paulo, is an important port city in Brazil. Brazil is the largest producer and exporter of coffee, and 80% of its coffee beans are exported to all parts of the world through the port of Santos. Coffee led the development of Santos city.

Today, the economic impact of coffee on Santos has diminished, but this history is considered to be worth remembering, so the city's tourism bureau held the first Santos Coffee Festival between July 9 and 12, and plans to hold it once a year in the future. Tourism director Louis said: "Santos used to have a very close relationship with the coffee trade. Santos Port remains the largest and most important coffee export port in the world. Therefore, we hope to commemorate coffee as an important product through festivals, as well as hold a series of cultural activities for tourists and local people. "

The historic center of Santos, Brazil is a protected historical heritage. Most of the buildings here are in baroque style and were built in the early 20th century. One of the contents of the coffee festival is to visit along the coffee route of the historical center, including the coffee museum, the century-old coffee shop, the former coffee warehouse and so on. "Coffee King" is a century-old coffee shop, the owner Wihtol is the fourth generation heir, he said: "my family has been here for 103 years, from my grandfather's cousin to my grandfather and father, has been opening this coffee shop here. I'm the fourth generation. I like these machines. I like coffee baking. I love coffee. "

Actors dressed as coffee ambassadors and coffee porters walk around in front of the Coffee Museum, taking photos with tourists in an attempt to restore the endless stream of coffee deals here 100 years ago. San Francisco, a Santos-born businessman who lives in the United States, specially brought his family back to Santos to participate in the coffee festival. "I brought my family to learn about the coffee history of Brazil, because my children are not familiar with it," he said. The coffee festival is great, and what they do means a lot to the whole city of Santos. These performances evoke my childhood memories. "

During the Santos Coffee Festival in Brazil, people are most interested in tasting coffee for free and learning coffee-making skills. High-quality small coffee companies bring their own coffee to the public and make coffee for tourists on the spot. Tourists from Australia taste the coffee and praise: "these activities are very interesting." The coffee tastes good. I like coffee very much. I am already half Brazilian and half of my heart belongs to Brazil. "

At the coffee festival, in addition to coffee itself, creative Brazilians also applied coffee culture to various fields: the painter Colebel painted tourists with coffee stains on the spot, first sketched the outline with a pencil, and then painted it with coffee stains. The whole process takes no more than ten minutes. "these paintings are all painted with coffee stains," he said. The color of coffee varies with the quality of the coffee. Some coffees are thick, and the coffee stains are darker; otherwise, they will be lighter. "

Coffee handicrafts created by Brazilians, such as handmade soaps made from coffee and coffee cups of different shapes, are loved by tourists. The coffee cup made by Maria, a local ceramic artist in Santos, Brazil, is different from the traditional coffee cup shape, and some works have the style of Chinese teacups. After careful inquiry, Maria revealed that she had studied in Jingdezhen, the porcelain capital of China. Brazilian ceramic artists are deeply influenced by the United States. Chinese ceramic artists use very few tools and clay to make ceramics, while Brazilians need to use a lot of tools and raw materials. The ceramic studio in Jingdezhen is very simple, but their works are very exquisite. This has made my porcelain-making skills grow a lot-- making the best works with a small amount of materials, which is what I learned in China. " Maria said.
