Taiwan has one of the highest cafe densities in the world today.
"the entry of Taiwan coffee into the mainland has not only expanded the mainland coffee consumption market, but also enhanced cultural exchanges and public feelings between the two sides of the strait." Li Zude, chairman of Taipei Medical University, said in an interview with reporters that coffee has many medical effects. Culturally, coffee is gradually associated with fashion and modern life, especially in social situations.
Li Zude, a former chairman of Starbucks Coffee in Beijing, believes that coffee, as a culture, needs docking between the East and the West, as well as integration between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.
As one of the Taiwanese businessmen who brought western coffee to the mainland earlier, Li Zude undoubtedly led the cooperation and exchange of coffee culture between the two sides of the strait. Li Zude said that Taiwanese coffee that entered the mainland at that time was not a mainstream product, but a by-product of catering. The mainland really accepts the coffee culture in the past 10 years or so, Taiwan coffee has blossomed everywhere in major cities in the mainland. At first, mainlanders recognized only brands, but now they pay attention to quality, which is the result of cross-strait coffee cultural cooperation and exchange.
Li Zude told reporters that in Taiwan, cafes are all over the streets, and coffee can be smelled everywhere. There are more than 1000 coffee shops in Taipei and about 200 to 300 personality coffee shops, which is said to be one of the cities with the highest coffee shop density in the world today. When mainland tourists go sightseeing in Taiwan, what they like most is not only tropical fruits, but also personality cafes.
The coffee shop in Taipei has a humanistic, elegant, quiet and leisurely atmosphere, which brings together all kinds of life styles and moods, and the coffee shop has become the spiritual refuge of all kinds of people. Taiwan's coffee culture has also influenced the mainland. The owner of Beijing carving time Cafe is a Taiwanese filmmaker who often meets with famous filmmakers in a tranquil and elegant atmosphere. Nowadays, reading books while drinking coffee while surfing the Internet is a common sight in cafes in Taipei and mainland China. Li Zude said.
Indeed, Taiwan and the mainland also influence each other in coffee culture. Drinking coffee in Shanghai is described as romantic, as is drinking coffee in Taipei. There are "Little Garden Cafe", "Old Movie Cafe", "time Corner Cafe" and "Forest Cafe" in Shanghai. In Taiwan, there are coffee shops with strange names, such as "can't sleep Cafe", "pick up a Cat on the Road", "Green fun Club Cafe", "Frog Cafe" and so on.
There is a wave of nostalgia in many cafes in the mainland and Taiwan, first from Shanghai to Taiwan, and now from Taiwan to the mainland. There are many old photos hanging on the wall of the Taipei Star Cafe. The cafe was originally on Shanghai's Huaihai Road and was decorated with a strong Shanghai petty bourgeoisie style. Zhang ailing and Sanmao used to be regular customers of this cafe, so it has become a good place for nostalgia for many people.
In recent years, there has been a coffee whirlwind from Taiwan in the mainland coffee market. "Cross-Strait Coffee" comes from two women on both sides of the strait. The icon is a coffee cup with an arc similar to a rainbow or a bridge, symbolizing cross-strait cooperation and communication. Shangdao Coffee first settled on Taiwan Island, and then took root on Hainan Island. So far, it is all over the mainland. "Mingdian Coffee Tea" has affected the new generation's perception of coffee and tea, drinking a strong cross-strait complex.
