A collision between "Navigation" and "Coffee"

Every great invention of the great navigation era has something to do with coffee.

Coffee originated in Ethiopia, and the origin of coffee and navigation began in the 16th and 17th centuries when the merchants of Venice and the Dutch, the overlord of the sea, introduced coffee into Europe. This kind of black drink, which is full of oriental mystery and rich aroma, was soon loved by the aristocratic and gentlemanly class. the price of coffee rose with the rising tide and was known as "black gold". And "black gold" in the surging era of navigation, through the spread of shipping, the world has been included in the production and consumption of coffee. Coffee has also become a necessity for captains and crew to cope with fatigue during long voyages.

On March 16, on the eve of International Navigation Day, a unique "Ocean Coffee Day Navigation Culture Salon" was staged on the happy coast of Aix Coffee. The collision between coffee and sailboat and navigation civilization brought irresistible unique charm.

The call of civilization and the charm of sailing are gradually revealed in the strong aroma of Aix coffee. Under the eloquent account of Ouyang Jianshu, a well-known sailing trainer, the history of navigation and the knowledge of sailing are so new and interesting. In the game, everyone learned "the most difficult knot in the world to open"-the sailor knot. National coffee pull champion Li Jianfei also drew praise for his creativity on the spot. Ms. Zhu is a sailing enthusiast who specially came to the scene. The harvest of the afternoon made her pleasing to the eye and entertaining her, saying that she would take her children to experience the parent-child fun of sailing.

Regarding the interesting collision between "sailing" and "coffee", Aix Coffee CEO Zhou Jianwei said: "holding the 'Navigation Culture Salon' together with the Chinese Cup is to better explain the incomprehensible relationship between sailboat, ocean and coffee, and hope to take this special day to witness the marriage of navigation and coffee."

Xiaoyu, chief operating officer of the China Cup, said: "as the China Cup enters its eighth year, the China Cup is not only a sports event, but also a promoter of marine culture and marine lifestyle. The purpose of joining hands with Aix Coffee this time is to let more people understand the sea, pay attention to sailing, and integrate sailing life into everyone's daily life through the coffee culture of daily life and tasting ocean coffee. At the same time, through cooperation with Aix, more people will have the opportunity to board a sailboat and realize everyone's sailing dream. "

As the Indian proverb goes, if the body walks for three days in a row, it must stop and wait for the soul. Between work, pick up a cup of coffee, the dense heat rises, like the fog on the sea.
