Turkey is the first nation to secularize coffee drinks.

If you walk through the streets of Milan in the evening, you will find a faint aroma of coffee floating in the air in the quiet alleys. At the end of the alley is a warm cafe where you can relax and have afternoon tea, like home. Accompanied by jazz music and coffee fragrance, soul warm interaction, here, coffee is not just coffee, time can also be very slow.

As for the origin of cafes, Tahatoros, an author who published a history of Turkish coffee, pointed out that although coffee was first introduced from Yemen, Turkey was the first nation to secularize coffee drinks. More than 300 years ago, Turkish Ottoman soldiers were defeated in the siege of Vienna and left several sacks of coffee when retreating. Europeans originally thought it was camel feed. Later, they found that these small beans were refreshing agents for Turkish soldiers and soldiers, and they tasted good. A clever businessman bought coffee beans left behind by the Turks when they retreated and opened Vienna's first cafe. Western countries have thus become addicted to coffee, and Turkey can be called the coffee teacher of Europeans.

Venetian merchants first brought coffee to Europe in 1615. Two other hot drinks began to emerge quietly in Europe around this time. The first was hot chocolate, which was brought to Spain from America by the Spanish in 1528; the other was tea, which was first sold in Europe in 1610. Coffee was originally sold primarily by lemonade vendors and is therefore believed to have medicinal properties.

The first European cafes appeared in Venice in 1683, the most famous of which was the Café Florien in Piazza San Marco, which opened in 1720 and is still open for business today. The world's largest insurance company, Lloyd's of London, started as a cafe, founded by Edward Lloyd opened it in 1688, preparing lists of insured ships for his customers.

The origins of coffee or coffee shops are always presented to us at the same time as literature, music and painting. It is true that coffee shops are not educational institutions, but they have nurtured generations of great artists and thinkers. Coffee houses shake off vulgarity and awaken the extraordinary. What he achieved was not a soulless professional home, but a cultured man.
