Look for the basics of coffee in independent cafes in London

If a city has no one willing to open a coffee shop, then no matter how rich the city is, it is just a city with an empty heart.

Haruki Murakami once said: "if a city is not willing to open a coffee shop, then no matter how rich the city is, it is just a city with an empty heart."

Van Gogh had a small wish: "maybe one day my paintings will be on display in a cafe." Many of his works, such as the Langlois Bridge, the Night Cafe and the Yellow House, were created in cafes. Van Gogh lived on 23 cups of coffee and a few slices of bread in four days when he focused on painting.

Eileen Chang loves coffee. She loves English "Devon County Cream". She scoops a tablespoon every time she drinks coffee. In the United States, when Mr. Crystal from Taiwan went to interview her, she drank four cups of coffee in a row. She said she drank coffee all the time.

Mr. Balzac said, "I'm not at home, I'm in the cafe; I'm not in the cafe, I'm on my way to the cafe." Mr. Balzac eventually died of caffeine poisoning.

Well, I really love these people who love coffee, so they love coffee I love coffee more, they like to go to cafes, I also want to go to cafes! In Lust, caution, Zhang ailing described Wang Jiazhi's date place like this: "it's still early, and there are few people in the cafe, lighting a pair of apricot red 100-fold wall lamps. The place is very large, with small round tables, dark flowers and fine white linen tablecloths, conservative restaurant appearance."

Ah, I think I'm going to do this kind of meticulous sketching of coffee shops! I officially put the study of coffee on the agenda, the search for cafes on the agenda, the learning of coffee flowers and the identification of coffee beans on the agenda (er, well, the idea was automatically rejected after it popped up). Put a series of cafe articles on the agenda. I must learn more about coffee and this thing that has been with me for many years but has never known before.

So not only did I look for a coffee shop in London to try it, I also read the history of coffee, walked around famous cafes around the world with my eyes, and took 10, 000-word reading notes, and then I began to wonder if I was sick. Unfortunately, suspicion arises, and the flames of coffee research are extinguished. I sorted out my reading notes, and that's all that's left. Ah, I'm really disappointed in myself.

In the last few years of the 16th century, Venice merchants shipped the fruit called coffee to Europe; in the mid-17th century, the first coffee shop in France opened, and Europeans loved the deep and passionate drink almost admiringly for a short time. Ten years later, nearly 4, 000 cafes bloomed on the streets of Paris, and Voltaire and Diderot wrote an encyclopedia at the Pukop Cafe. Rousseau talked loudly in the Regent's cafe; French revolutionaries stood on the coffee table of Foy to declare the uprising. The coffee drinkers took a swig of coffee and rewrote world history ever since.

During the outbreak of the Gulf War in 1991, the goods the French snapped up from supermarkets were not daily necessities, but large quantities of coffee and sugar cubes. The little coffee became the symbol of a city, the Quadri Cafe in Venice where Byron used to write poems, and the Florida Cafe where Princess Diana used to go. The Blue bottle Cafe in Vienna blends coffee with honey and milk for the first time to make delicious Viennese coffee. Viennese compare it with music and waltz and call it the "three treasures of Vienna".

The first coffee shop in England appeared at Oxford University in 1650 and was opened by a Lebanese Jew. Two years later, Rosse, a Greek, opened a cafe in London. By 1700, there were more than 2000 cafes in London. The English are addicted to tea. But from the mid-17th century to the early 18th century, the whole of London was brewing coffee. British men changed from drinking to drinking. When they got drunk in the pub, they went to the cafe to sober up with caffeine, and then went to the pub to continue drinking.

Drinking coffee is bad for your health? Not right, now to say, a cup of coffee a day, the doctor does not need to find, what can coffee do, the hero summed up as follows:

Dear teenagers, please enjoy your coffee! At this point, after drinking the fifth coffee shop, I no longer want to walk the streets to look for independent cafes, let alone read such coffee materials. I watched my once magnificent plan to find an independent coffee shop in London turn out like this. Oh, I'm really disappointed in myself.
