In China, people like drinking coffee more and more. The "coffee culture" that follows is full of every moment of life. People are tasting coffee at home, in the office, or on various social occasions: it is gradually associated with fashion | modern life. Coffee houses everywhere have become good places for people to talk, listen to music and rest. Coffee gradually developed into a culture. Whether it is freshly ground coffee beans or freshly brewed hot coffee, it exudes a rich aroma and makes people intoxicated. There are many ways to indulge in taste: Italian espresso, cappuccino, flavored coffee; they offer a variety of options for people who regularly patronize coffee shops in Beijing, Shanghai and other big cities in China. Chinese people also gradually like to make their own coffee. Using roasted coffee beans, filter pots and filter paper to make a cup of fresh coffee also has a different taste.

As coffee is widely known as a drink with a long history, coffee is being accepted by more and more Chinese people. Some data show that China's coffee consumption is increasing year by year, and is expected to become a much-needed coffee consumer in the world. Today, Yunnan coffee produced in China's own land, with its noble quality and low price, will promote this trend, guide this fashion, become the Chinese people's own coffee brand, and thus have China's own unique coffee culture.

The ancient Arabian coffee culture

When Europeans first came into contact with coffee, they called the seductive drink "Arabian wine", and when conservative Catholics cursed coffee as "the drink of the devil Satan", they would never think of what a precious thing they inherited from the infidel.

As the first region in the world to drink and produce coffee, Arab coffee culture is as old and old as its coffee history. In the Arab region, people still retain an ancient and long tradition and exquisite in terms of coffee quality, drinking mode, drinking environment and atmosphere.

Arabs drink coffee solemnly and pay attention to the etiquette and procedure of drinking coffee. they have a traditional form of drinking coffee, much like the tea ceremony of the Chinese and Japanese. Burn incense before drinking coffee, and sprinkle spices in the place where you drink it, then the host and guest appreciate the quality of the coffee, carefully study it from color to flavor, and then put out the exquisite and valuable coffee utensils for play. and then start cooking strong coffee.

Coffee Culture in Europe

In Europe, coffee culture can be said to be a very mature form of culture. from the entry of coffee into this continent to the emergence of the first coffee shop in Europe, coffee culture is developing at an extremely rapid speed, showing extremely exuberant vitality.

In Vienna, Austria, coffee, music and waltz dance are also known as the "three treasures of Vienna", which shows the far-reaching significance of coffee culture.

There is a famous saying in Italy: "Men should be like good coffee, strong and enthusiastic!" How unusual it is to equate a man with coffee.

Italians have a fondness for coffee, and coffee has become the most basic and important factor in their lives. After getting up, the first thing Italians do is to make a cup of coffee immediately. For both men and women, coffee cups are almost always in hand from morning till night.

In France, without coffee is as inconceivable as without wine. It can be said that the world is coming to an end. It is said that there was a time in history when the tight supply of coffee in France caused many French people to be listless all day, which greatly affected the normal life of the country. When the "Gulf War" broke out in 1991, the French, worried about the impact of the war on their daily life, rushed to supermarkets to snap up goods. When television reporters focused their cameras on people who snapped up goods, the camera showed customers with large amounts of coffee and sugar, which became a joke.

French people do not pay attention to the quality and taste of coffee itself, but pay attention to the environment and atmosphere of drinking coffee, showing elegant taste, romantic style and poetic realm, just like those exquisite and moving works of art in the Louvre.

From the day coffee was introduced into France, the influence and shadow of coffee can be seen from time to time in French culture and art.

In these salons, writers, artists and philosophers stretch them out under the excitement of coffee.
