A cup of refreshing drink boutique coffee

Coffee culture to me means: atmosphere matching environment, standard coffee, appropriate mood. I like the concept of a third space proposed by a coffee shop. Coffee shop should be a place that is different from home and work environment, a buffer zone in life, where people can relax and adjust their whole body, whether it is daze, work or gossip with friends, they can enjoy themselves. I like the French coffee culture, Parisians will know what they want to find the right coffee, in a hurry to drink at the counter and go, want to daze will sit outdoors with a cup of sun slowly, there are self-entertainment pleasure.

On the contrary, I don't really think coffee has anything to do with petty bourgeoisie. Hainan Island of our country has been a coffee bean producing area since ancient times. I have heard friends in Hainan say that when they were children, they took enamel cups to the market to make a cup of coffee and went home to drink it. Coffee is a necessity for local residents like soy milk. Such a grass-roots picture, can you say it is petty bourgeoisie? I think people think of it as petty bourgeoisie, more because modern society has time to sit down and have a good cup of coffee means leisure and money, and coffee shops have gradually become a platform for topics about art, music and literature. Half of my new book was written in coffee shops. Because my house faces north, winter is not exposed to the sun, I will find outdoor coffee shop work, while drying my mites to death while slowly writing. But back to the bottom line, coffee is a cup of coffee, a refreshing, ever-changing drink that some people love and some people hate, not surprisingly. Sometimes I go to a coffee shop and if I don't feel like coffee that day, it's nice to have a pot of tea to drink slowly.

Guangzhou coffee culture, I want to call it instant coffee, most people say "coffee", in fact, coffee drinks. I'm not saying coffee drinks are bad, lattes are my favorite kind of drink, but consumers often just drink a cup of coffee without understanding, and put more energy into discussing the environment and self-appreciation posture. The technical standard of a perfect cup of coffee, like red wine, has a professional evaluation system, which can be evaluated by objective standards from the perspective of vision, smell and taste, and can also appreciate the richness and perfection of coffee from a personal perspective. For example, a cup of the most basic espresso, whether the foam you see is compact and delicate in texture, smells fine and rich in flavor, whether there is a plump, smooth and round feeling after entering the mouth, whether the sweet and sour tastes are harmonious and balanced... Even to the positive smell felt in the subsequent throat and nasal cavity, the duration of the good smell after swallowing... Each item has an accurate description score that can be evaluated.

In the eyes of Chinese people,"coffee" is just a fashionable symbol of premature growth, but in fact it is a rigorous science that takes time to learn. I think, drink if you like, don't drink if you don't like, don't force yourself to like something for the label, that's too tired.
