I'm not at home. I'm at the cafe. I'm on my way to the cafe.

It is said that as early as the 7th century, a shepherd was very excited when he found that the sheep had eaten a kind of red nut. this was the discovery of the first coffee tree. Until the Arabs transported coffee beans to Europe through the Yemeni port of Mocha in the 16th century, and then to the whole world, coffee, a magical drink with a history of thousands of years, has its unique culture all over the world.

"I'm not at home. I'm at the cafe. It's not in the cafe, it's on the way to the cafe. " Each country has its own unique preference for flavor. Perhaps the most intuitive way to experience a city is to walk into a local cafe and serve a cup of specialty coffee in the air full of roasted cocoa beans and a warm smell. When we meet coffee on a trip, let's get a taste of the coffee culture of different countries.

First stop | UK-London

It is known all over the world that English people are addicted to tea. But from the mid-17th century to the early 18th century, the whole of London was soaked in coffee instead of tea. British men switch from drinking to drinking coffee, or both-get drunk in a pub and go to the cafe to sober up with caffeine and then go to the pub to continue drinking.

The first coffee shop in England appeared at Oxford University in 1650 and was opened by a Lebanese Jew. By 1700, there were more than 2000 cafes in London. As the first place to provide equal exchange and dialogue for the public, cafes are very popular. But from the very beginning, cafes have obvious "circle" characteristics, that is, "birds of a feather flock together, people are divided into groups"-Puritans, Protestants, Catholics, Jews, literati, merchants, lawyers, doctors, etc., almost every cafe has its own fixed number of guests. The open cafe has broken the previous social structure of hierarchy and identity, and has also made a new division on another level.

Original Starbucks

In 1971, two teachers and a writer founded the world's first Starbucks at 1912 Park Market in Seattle, which initially sold high-quality coffee beans and coffee equipment, and has now become a world-renowned multinational coffee chain. Compared with the bustling Pike market, Starbucks' first store is an obscure old building. Walking into the store, on the right front is a large bronze emblem marked "the first Starbucks store, built in 1971", conveying the store's important identity and status. Starbucks' first store has been renovated several times over the years, but the mermaid logo still retains its original design-the brown double-tailed LOGO, rather than the usual iconic green mermaid.

Starbucks gets its name from Melville's book, Moby Dick, the first mate's name of Captain Ahab-Starbucks. Although Starbucks coffee is available all over the world, having a cup of coffee at the first coffee shop in Pike Market has added a layer of historical significance.
