Coffee and China talk about the three daily beverages of human beings

Speaking of the three major daily drinks of human beings: coffee, wine and tea, coffee is an out-and-out novelty that has the shallowest fate with the Chinese. Chinese people understand and come into contact with coffee should be regarded as the first batch of diplomats, people studying abroad and Chinese compradors at the end of the 19th century.

The Chinese literature records truly introduce the composition and function of coffee, which is regarded as the enlightening work of modern science translated by British missionary John Fryer (1839-1928) and early Chinese chemist Luan Xueqian, which was first serialized in a Chinese popular science journal (Gezhi compilation) from 1876 to 1981. Chinese people have always regarded coffee as a foreign thing when drinking tea and wine since ancient times. Therefore, taverns and teahouses have existed since ancient times, but when it comes to cafes, they did not appear until after the establishment of the national government, especially in Shanghai. After liberation, the cafe almost disappeared, and gradually had to wait until the reform and opening up in the 1980s before the second revival.

Today, Chinese people are no longer strangers to coffee, and coffee can be seen on the streets and alleys. Among them, Nestle (Nestle) and Starbucks (Starbucks) have contributed greatly to the popularization of Chinese coffee culture. The advertising slogan of Nestle Coffee: "it tastes delicious!"it is a household name in China, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. On the other hand, Starbucks has entered China with world-renowned brands to further influence Chinese consumers.
