The Origin and implication of the dispute between Tea and Coffee

It is understood that when tea was introduced into Europe, during the period of King Gustav III of Sweden, there were different views on the function of tea in society. Some people thought that tea was oriental and beneficial, while others thought that tea was the same as coffee. Drinking tea and coffee for a long time can be addictive and harmful to your health. In order to verify the efficacy of tea and coffee, the king decided to use people to do the experiment, "directed" a dispute between tea and coffee.

Coincidentally, when a pair of twin brothers were locked up for a capital crime, the king used the twin brothers to make tea and coffee and ordered his brother to drink five cups of tea a day and his younger brother five cups of coffee a day until he died of illness, so as to avoid the immediate beheading. As a result, my brother lived to be 87 years old when he drank tea and his younger brother lived to be 83 years old when he drank coffee.

Since then, the popularity of tea drinking in Sweden has promoted the popularity of tea drinking customs in Europe. At the same time, Western coffee is also gradually appearing on the table of Easterners. Of course, it is not easy for coffee to enter the country of tea. On all sides, the contest between tea and coffee has never stopped.

Triggered by the view that Anji White Tea is the leading brand of Waiwai Mingyuan, China's tea industry is carrying out a vigorous "White Tea Marriage" campaign about tea and coffee, that is, the homonym of "white tea for coffee". White tea will replace coffee in the future.

In a sense, tea can represent China or Chinese culture. Coffee is a specialty produced under the leadership of Western civilization, and each has its own advantages and characteristics. At present, no one has the ability to replace each other. I believe that the contest between "meaning" things will not stop this time, but I hope that through the "close contact" of tea and coffee, so that consumers can better understand the deep meaning behind tea and coffee, understand the culture of the East and the West, strengthen exchanges, enhance friendship, and jointly build a harmonious world.
