Coffee or tea? coffee or tea?

There is always coffee and tea at home. In my opinion, these two drinks go hand in hand, just like Eastern and Western cultures, with their own development history and customs. My attitude towards these two cultures is: eclectic. Just as we are obsessed with western operas, ballets, symphonies and other petty-bourgeois sentiments, they are also obsessed with the study of Chinese Beijing Opera and the traditional simplicity and atmosphere of Chinese martial arts and even juggling. this not only reflects the mutual inclusiveness of culture, but also shows that only such a non-conflicting open attitude can make the two cultures go further and deeper.

I have some knowledge of the two drinks, and sometimes I enjoy myself by drinking one of them to play up my mood. Coffee has its humanistic feelings, has its fashion culture, and tea even more, not only has its traditional culture, but also tea ceremony. The tea ceremony belongs to the oriental culture. The difference between the oriental culture and the western culture lies in that the oriental culture often does not have a scientific and accurate definition, but depends on the individual to get close to it and understand it by virtue of his own understanding. The tea ceremony is different from the tea art, it not only emphasizes the form of expression, but also pays attention to the spiritual connotation. Mr. Zhou Zuoren said more casually, his understanding of the tea ceremony is: "the meaning of the tea ceremony, in ordinary words, can be called as stealing leisure in the busy, having fun in the bitter, enjoying a little beauty and harmony in the incomplete reality, and experiencing eternity in an instant." My husband's evaluation of things always makes me amazed. It's not too much to use my husband's words to evaluate coffee. Otherwise, how can there be so many petty bourgeoisie who like coffee? They always do not want to drink alone at home, although the price of a single cup in a cafe can cook a pot at home, while several friends talk together, or listen to piano music quietly, and flipping through magazines is already very comfortable. develop this habit of drinking coffee, whether consciously express a kind of elegant charm, a romantic sentiment, a kind of enjoy life freehand feeling.

Weihai, a city on the sea, can not stop people's love for these two cultures. Through a hundred years of history, the continuous blending of traditional and modern, Western and Eastern cultures has left an indelible cultural imprint on the city. Many coffee and tea shops have been opened in all kinds of buildings, among which there are no international brands. By chance, I found a place where both tea and coffee are stored. This is a landmark building of the new Bund, with a glass and steel structure. On the 15th floor of the restaurant, looking down through the glass window, there is the sea. There is really an air of "the sea is the shore at the end of the sky, and I am the peak at the top of the mountain." Bo is the bartender here. After drinking a cup of pure espresso he made for me, he suggested that I should have some tea and wait for him to chat with him. I agreed that the restaurant was playing pub music of "falling in love with Jazz", which made me feel relaxed and wonderful. I was unexpectedly unconventional in such a tea environment, and I enjoyed myself in coffee and tea in the same background music and environment. The waiter brought me a pot of tea, but I had a whim to call Xiaobo and said, "Why don't you go to the tea set and we'll make tea? otherwise, it would be a pity for you to be a bartender!" I laugh. I'm just curious about how the hands that make coffee and cocktails make tea every day. Tea set is very exquisite, is African Babzinwei stone carving, the whole body is black and smooth, what is more exquisite is his way of making tea, although he has less charm, but more strength and rhythm, the brewing procedure is not reversed. It seems that although the styles of coffee and tea are different, their characteristics have something in common, and there are only a few young people who can be reflected in the two cultural characteristics of Xiaobo. "Tea is mostly influenced by family and tradition, while coffee. It's my choice!" He told me. Yes, tea and China are like coffee and France, because there are more choices, so there are more guidance and dissemination.

Guzheng silk, piano Ding Dong, whether it is coffee or tea, I wash all ancient and modern people tirelessly, will not be able to boast after getting drunk. If I am allowed to sum up the two cultures as one Tao, then I would like to give them an explanation: "A method and artistic conception of drinking!" However, this artistic conception is inextricably related to the two kinds of drinks, like landscapes, so that more people in temperament have different opinions. I am glad that there are so many people to lead this culture, so that people in the city's noisy center of Lent forget, remove metaphysics, clear flavor. In fact, the root of tea is to boil water and order tea, and coffee is nothing more than grinding beans to mix, but once you have it in mind, through static filtration, you will be able to understand the road of enlightenment from ordinary trifles, and create more unaffected, non-floating and impatient, non-greedy and unangry minds.

Tea and coffee are irresistible to everyone who loves life. Life is more comfortable because of them, that's all.
