The birth of instant coffee

The popularity of coffee began in the Meiji era. The earliest coffee taste that can be tasted casually comes from "coffee candy" or "snow candy". This is to add coffee to cube sugar and chew it in your mouth. If you put it into a cup and rinse it with hot water, it will become a simple coffee and tea. Now known as instant coffee was produced in 1899 (Meiji 32). Invented by Dr. Kato Kato, the Japanese who invented the vacuum drying method. At that time, there was little demand for coffee in Japan, and in order to seek a market, he went to the United States to obtain a patent and opened up a market. Dr. Kato became known as a dream inventor.

Walk freely on the streets of Ethiopia, the hometown of coffee:

In a refreshing room lit with incense, peel off the thin skin of raw coffee beans, wash them with water, stir-fry coffee beans in front of a hot wok, pound them into a mortar, then put them into a pan to boil, cease fire after 5 minutes, add spicy seasonings such as cinnamon, ginger and cardamom, and wait for the powder to settle into a small cup without a cup handle. Be sure to drink three cups, and then eat with baked wheat, barley and corn bread.
