China holds international coffee competition German media: there are few local players

It is reported that such a world-class coffee competition is held in China, a big tea-drinking country. About 15 years ago, even in a metropolis like Shanghai, many people drank only instant coffee. But nowadays all kinds of cafes can be found in the streets of Shanghai.

Shi Chunyan, who works as a Chinese agent for an Italian coffee maker, said: many Chinese people now have the experience of living overseas, and they know that freshly brewed coffee tastes better. We can feel it from the sales performance.

Mateusz Petlinski, a coffee expert from D ü sseldorf, said: China will definitely become a very competitive coffee kingdom. After tasting coffee made from coffee beans from Yunnan, China, he commented: these coffees are not complete enough. It is not up to the standard of making some special coffee. In addition, China's coffee bean roaster is still in the experimental stage, so now we can only see what kind of coffee can be made using existing materials.

Gerlach finished 19th in the latte race. Competitors from Australia, Japan, South Korea and New Zealand are all strong. One thing that is somewhat surprising is the limited number of contestants from host China. Shen Yingjun, 30, says he is a coffee addict. He said he specially came to cheer for the Chinese contestants, but he didn't even see one. I'm disappointed, but that will change soon. I saw a lot of promotion points set up by the barista school here today. Chinese people are good at learning and diligent. A world-class coffee competition has kicked off in Shanghai, according to German media. When each contestant appeared on the stage, the audience cheered and cheered, and the atmosphere was as warm as the Olympic Games.

Daniel Gerlach, 27, is from W ü rzburg, Germany. He was a little annoyed at his performance: I felt a little angry because I didn't perform very well as a latte artist. My hands are shaking. If my hands are shaking when I take the cup, it will be dangerous.

According to the report, latte art is a very special coffee art form. The contestants painted all kinds of patterns on the coffee with the foam made by milk.

Gerlach said he drew two swans on the cup and once a dragonfly. In the process of making, I turned the cup slowly and shook it gently to make it more difficult to draw.
