two。 Coffee history

With the first coffee bean picked, the first roasting test, the first grinding, the first blending and the mellow smell of the first cup of hot coffee, the legend of coffee cultivation and coffee culture spreading on our small planet has become one of the greatest and most romantic stories in history.

There are all kinds of legends about the origin of coffee, but most of them are forgotten because of its absurdity. However, people will not forget that Africa is the hometown of coffee. Coffee trees are likely to be found in Ethiopia's KAFFA province. Later, batches of slaves were sold from Africa to Yemen and the Arabian Peninsula, and coffee was taken everywhere along the way. To be sure, Yemen started growing coffee in the 15th century or earlier. Although Arabia had the busiest port city in the world at that time, it banned the export of any seeds. This barrier was finally broken through by the Dutch, and in 1616, they finally smuggled the surviving coffee trees and seeds to the Netherlands and began to grow them in greenhouses.

Although Arabs ban the export of coffee seeds, they are indeed very open inside. The first coffee shops known as "Kavin Kahn" opened in Mecca, and for the first time in human history, anyone who spent a cup of coffee could go in and sit in a comfortable environment to do business and date.

Coffee enters Asia

The Arabs failed to spread coffee in Asia, but the Dutch did! In the process of colonization, they grew coffee in Malaba, India, and brought it to Batavia in what is now Java, Indonesia, in 1699. The Dutch colonies once became the main supplier of coffee in Europe. At present, Indonesia is the fourth largest coffee exporter in the world.

Coffee enters Europe Venice merchants first brought coffee to Europe in 1615. By 1683, Europe's first coffee shop opened in Venice, and the most famous was the Floran Cafe, which opened in St. Mark's Square in 1720 and is still doing brisk business today. It is worth mentioning that London Lloyd, the world's largest insurer, started as a coffee shop.

Coffee entered America in 1668, and coffee became popular in South America as a fashion drink, followed by coffee shops in New York, Philadelphia, Boston and other North American cities. The Boston Tea Party case of 1773 was planned in a coffee shop called Green Dragon. Today, both the New York Stock Exchange and the Bank of New York in the famous Wall Street financial district start in coffee shops.

Coffee was first grown in America in the 1820s, and it was the Dutch who first spread coffee to Central and South America. Coffee spread from the Dutch colonies to French Guiana and Brazil, and then by the British to Jamaica. By 1925, growing coffee had become a tradition in Central and South America. In the same year, Hawaii also began to grow coffee, which is the only coffee producer in the United States, and Hawaiian coffee is one of the best coffee in the world. To date, Brazil is already the world's largest coffee producer, accounting for about 30 per cent of global coffee production, while Colombia is the second largest coffee producer, accounting for about 12 per cent of global coffee production. North America is currently the two largest coffee consumption region. In Seattle, "Latai" culture reinterprets the connotation of coffee culture, combining unique flavor coffee, beautifully designed coffee utensils with fashion and art, and sweeping the world.

Coffee enters China according to historical records, coffee was first planted in Taiwan in 1884, which opened the prelude to the development of coffee in China. The earliest coffee cultivation in the mainland began in Yunnan, when a French missionary brought the first coffee seedlings to Binchuan County in Yunnan Province at the beginning of the 20th century. In the following nearly a hundred years, coffee was only "dotted" in the vast territory of China.

The type of coffee

Italian coffee: Italian coffee is usually brewed at home using a mocha pot invented in Italy, which also uses the principle of vapor pressure to quench coffee (another Watt's apprentice). The mocha pot can make the pressurized vapor pass directly through the coffee powder, allowing the steam to pass through the cell wall of the coffee powder (or Hook's apprentice), quenching out the inner essence of the coffee, so the brewed coffee has a strong aroma and strong bitter taste, and a thin layer of coffee oil appears on the surface of the coffee, which is the source of the attractive aroma of Italian coffee.

Cappuccino latte: cappuccino is a variation of Italian coffee, that is, strong coffee is poured with steamed milk, the color of the coffee is like the headscarf on the dark brown coat of the cappuccino church monks, hence the name coffee. Latte is actually a change in Italian coffee (Italians are indeed fickle), except that the proportion of coffee, milk and milk foam can be slightly changed to 1:2:1.

Campbell blue macchiato coffee: Italian coffee is really "a hundred flowers blossom", and there are two flowers of Campbell blue and macchiato. As long as you add the right amount of whipped cream to the espresso, you can easily finish a cup of Campbell blue. The fresh white cream floats gently on the deep coffee, just like a white lotus flower that comes out of the mud and is not dyed. In Italian espresso, without whipped cream and milk, only two tablespoons of soft milk foam is a cup of macchiato. Unlike Campbell Blue, if you want to enjoy the delicacy of Macchiato, you have to drink it in one sip.

French Milk Coffee: the ratio of coffee to milk is 1:1. When the orthodox French milk coffee is brewed, the milk pot and coffee pot are filled with coffee cups from both sides at the same time. This method has been going on for hundreds of years. Today, it is still an indispensable drink on the French breakfast table. French baby, full of milk flavor!

Turkish coffee: the original cooking method is still used today, and the complex process is somewhat exotic and mysterious. From it, we can get a glimpse of the heyday of the Ottoman Empire.

Irish coffee: there is a strong aroma of whisky in the name, and the Irish regard whisky as life, but also do something in the coffee! Irish coffee made from whisky can better set off the sweet and sour taste of coffee. A hint of mature melancholy. Be careful, you will get drunk even if you drink too much coffee!

Mocha: chocolate lovers, this is for you! Remember the Italian latte? Add chocolate to it and make a rich mocha.

Royal Coffee: this excellent dish was invented by an emperor who was able to fight a long war. by the way, he was Napoleon, the emperor of the French Empire! He doesn't like the smell of milk, he likes the pride of France-brandy! Another guy with spirits in his coffee! The blue flame dances with the mellow aroma of brandy and the scorching aroma of square sugar, and then with a strong aroma of coffee, slightly sweet in bitterness. French arrogance, French romance.

Green tea coffee: the fragrance of green tea draws our eyes back from distant countries. Japan is a nation that is good at absorption and integration. This time, they have found a balance between western coffee and oriental green tea. It also provides a new favorite for friends who love drinking tea. This is a pure Oriental flavor of coffee, the elegant fragrance of green tea, the rich exchange of coffee agitation.

Iced latte: we have to mention latte again. Is it too attractive, or is it too romantic? Use the mixture of fructose and milk to increase the specific gravity of milk, so that it will not be mixed with lighter coffee, forming two distinct layers of black and white, forming a graceful visual effect like a cocktail, plus ice cubes, giving people an elegant and romantic warm feeling.

Magic Ice Cream Coffee: this creative and varied magic taste only belongs to the young you! Pour espresso on the cold Vanilla Ice Cream, then use chocolate sauce to freely compose the fresh cream and ice cream. The ice coffee is a magical blend of water and milk, leaving only fragrance and freshness in your mouth.

Mocha Frost Coffee: guys who love chocolate, do you still have an appetite to try "frost" chocolate mocha? Use a blender to break ice cubes and ice cream to create a dense visual effect, then add mocha iced coffee, and you're done! The entrance is smooth, refreshing and mellow, giving you a cool afternoon in the heat of summer.
