History of Coffee Development in China when was the coffee shop popular?

Coffee Shop

Individual Chinese began to taste and drink coffee probably during the Tongzhi period. In the fifth year of Tongzhi (1866), Mrs. Gopiti, an American missionary in Shanghai, published a Book of making Foreign Rice, which was written for foreigners who came to China to eat western food and train Chinese cooks and cooks. In addition to translating coffee into "fattening", the book also teaches the methods of making and cooking coffee: "roasting and fattening in a fierce fire, shoveling frequently, so as not to scorch it black." Bake well, add a little cream while it is hot, cover it in a covered bottle, and roll it when you want to use it. Here we first talk about roasting and roasting coffee beans. When you want to boil a drink, you crush it and cook it immediately. Later, we will talk about how to add water to make coffee and so on. But it doesn't talk about adding sugar. There may be some omissions. Those who are trained by foreigners to cook western food and brew coffee are mostly employed Chinese, and they inevitably do not have a sip of coffee because of their work needs. When foreigners eat western food and drink coffee in China, they sometimes invite Chinese officials and their Chinese acquaintances to eat and drink. It can be seen that some Chinese people have tasted coffee during the Tongzhi period. The emergence of operational cafes in China was probably at the end of the Qing Dynasty. According to Xu Ke, a man at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, "drinking coffee: there are coffee shops in Europe and the United States, just like the teahouses in China." It is also available in Tianjin and Shanghai, and it is also imitated by the Chinese. Concurrently sell candy to drink. Xu Ke's book takes a lot of notes from the Qing Dynasty, and it can be inferred that the things mentioned appeared at the end of the Qing Dynasty. However, this book was published a little later than the Zhonghua University Dictionary, so it is difficult to tell which book uses the word "coffee". However, what is printed in type is the China University Dictionary. It can be seen that coffee shops attached to cafes or hotels and guesthouses generally appeared in major cities in the Republic of China.

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 and modern life. Coffee houses everywhere have become good places for people to talk, listen to music and rest, and coffee has 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 savor this intoxication: espresso, cappuccino, Latay, flavored coffee; they offer a variety of options for people who regularly patronize coffee shops in Beijing, Shangjiu 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 an important 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 have China's own unique coffee culture.
