1. Nordic per capita coffee consumption leads the world

According to the 2013 per capita annual coffee consumption data of the international coffee organization ICO, the coffee consumption of Japan 3.36kg, UK 2.8kg, US 4.3kg, Finland 12kg, Norway 8.7kg, Denmark 8.6kg, Sweden 7.31kg, Nordic countries showed an overwhelming trend.

In northern Europe, many people drink coffee every day because they like it, even if they don't have the relevant knowledge. For them, coffee is indispensable and drank every day, which has nothing to do with caffeine intake. They started drinking coffee when they were students, and frequently "have a cup of coffee and take a break" at school and at work. Coffee can be seen on any occasion.

Another feature of northern Europe is that there are many comfortable coffee shops. Where the winter is cold and long, drinking a cup of hot coffee indoors plays an important role in people's lives.

two。 The way you enjoy coffee varies from country to country.

There is a culture in Sweden called "Fika", which refers to spending some time with close people over tea or coffee or snacks.

Mons Anderson, a Swede, set up a school to introduce coffee beans in the Norwegian capital Oslo after working as a barista at Tim Wendelboe, a famous Norwegian coffee shop. He taught people in the Nordic countries that when they advised others to drink tea, the Swedes said, "Let's Fika together," the Norwegian said, "have a cup of coffee," and the Danes said, "have a snack." Speaking of snacks, Swedes generally eat the most common cinnamon rolls, while Norwegian eat special bread and waffles, Mons said. Danes like a kind of snack called Danish pastry.

3. Norwegian people can't do without coffee even if they are in nature.

Among the Nordic countries, Norwegian people are especially close to nature. They often go hiking, fishing and hiking on weekends, even then they can't do without coffee. Their hiking bags are often filled with water boilers and coffee. In the fresh air on the top of the mountain, tasting the coffee made from the clear river water, it is really a special taste. In addition, people in northern Sweden also have this habit.

4. High quality coffee beans, light roasting, sour taste

People familiar with Nordic coffee like the sour taste of high-quality coffee beans that are slightly roasted, which is very different from the bitterness of deep-roasted Japanese coffee.

There have been many world barista champions in northern Europe, and small coffee shops are promoting the development of Nordic coffee. The five Nordic countries have friendly relations, sharing not only information, but also knowledge and philosophy.

In addition, Nordic attaches importance to equality between men and women, and many women join the coffee industry. The manager of a Norwegian coffee shop with a branch in Japan says half of all baristas in Norway are women. In northern Europe, there are many women in coffee shop managers and management positions.

Coffee is also indispensable in the daily life of Nordic people. Friends who are planning a trip to northern Europe might as well go to the coffee shop there on the sidelines.
