Mo Yan, Nobel Prize for Literature: Colombian Coffee, the Taste of Chinese Green Tea

Mo Yan is the first Chinese writer who won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Since Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2013, his beautiful works have been loved by the public. According to the Nobel Prize Committee, Mo Yan combines reality and fantasy, history and social perspectives, and the world he creates is reminiscent of the integration of American writer William Faulkner and Colombian magical realist M á rquez. Mo Yan once said: "I cannot say that M á rquez is the greatest writer in the contemporary world, but since the 1960s, no book in the world has had such an extensive and lasting influence as one hundred years of Solitude." Mo Yan once commented on Colombian coffee, saying: "the first thing I thought I would say when I saw M á rquez was: Sir, I once had coffee with you in my dream, but the coffee in Colombia tastes like Chinese green tea."

Colombian coffee is mainly produced in Colombia and is one of the few individual coffees sold in the world under the name of the country. In terms of quality, it has won praise unmatched by other coffee. Compared with other producing countries, Colombia is more concerned with developing products and promoting production. It is this, coupled with its superior geographical and climatic conditions, that makes Colombian coffee excellent in quality and delicious and famous all over the world. Roasted coffee beans will release a sweet aroma, with sweet in the acid, bitter in the flat quality characteristics, because of the appropriate concentration, it is often used in high-grade mixed coffee. Colombian coffee exudes a light and elegant aroma, not as strong as Brazilian coffee, not as sour as African coffee, but a sweet fragrance, low-key and elegant.

Coffee workers go up the mountain to pick coffee beans (also known as coffee cherries) by hand, so they can pick carefully and pick the most ripe and full fruits. The vast majority of Colombian coffee beans are water-washed and moderately roasted with a light silky and sometimes sour taste, which is not as strong as Brazilian coffee and Italian Expresso and is known as "green gold".
