Coffee time in Africa

The best thing Africa has left me is learning to sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee at any time, anywhere.

Java and Friday Coffee

The most popular cafe in Nairobi, Kenya, is Java Cafe. At first I thought the name was taken from that computer language, but later I turned to the dictionary and realized that Java meant coffee in American slang. A large cup of coffee of the day costs 70 shillings, or 7 yuan, cappuccino served in a bowl-like cup costs 150 shillings, and Machiato coffee is my favorite. The taste of coffee, only people who have drunk African coffee can really understand.

JAVA nearest to us is on Engang Road, 10 minutes by car and less than half an hour by walk. If you go to Java at noon, you must queue up. Sometimes, while standing at the bar watching them make coffee, I would buy a small packet of freshly ground coffee beans so that I could get a free cup of coffee of the day.

Java charm in addition to pure coffee, there are British snacks and services. Waiters wear their own T-shirts to shuttle through the crowd, with African maps and JAVA logos on them. In Africa, waiters are happy people who greet guests cheerfully from time to time. Some humorous guys always make guests laugh. They love their work.

Many afternoons are spent in Java, reading an English novel, or sitting on a bench with fruit, sometimes going to a small shop selling beads next door and chatting with beautiful girl Jane. Jane had spent four years in China as an attache to the Kenyan Embassy in China. She spoke simple Chinese and excellent English. Her job was to help an Indian designer look at this DIY jewelry store. In her spare time, she would pick up beads and make a bracelet herself. Jane is happy, loves her job and dreams of owning her own store.

JAVA has a branch in the city and near Friday Market, both of which are doing the same business. Friday Market, also known as Marseilles Market, is a free market for Marseilles tribal goods that opens only on weekends. Interestingly, later I fell in love with the coffee taste of a coffee shop on the edge of the market. I thought it almost exceeded JAVA and was the best coffee in Nairobi. Unfortunately, I didn't remember the name of the shop and always used "Friday Coffee" instead.

Dreams in the roaring thorns watching the sunset

The suburbs of Nairobi have many beautiful coffee gardens. These gardens have beautiful names: Karen Coffee Garden, Rustynail, Kentmary, Whistle Thorn, Windsor Club, etc. Each garden has a unique view and good coffee. Only the discerning person can appreciate the lasting charm of the country coffee garden.

Karen Gardens is the home of Karen, a Danish woman and author of Out of Africa. Karen left a large area of her residence and coffee garden to her black housekeeper after leaving Africa. After several changes, an American female architect bought Karen's house and transformed it into Karen Coffee Garden in six months.

Today Karen Gardens is a white hangout in Nairobi. Nairobi's best local bands, trendy parties, and many tourists forsake the city's upscale hotels for lodges in the gardens. These individual cabins are scattered deep in the garden. At night, the waiter lit a fire in the fireplace of the room, sprinkled flowers on the white sheets, and sent seasonal fruits. The fireplace in the corner of the terrace in the coffee shop also burned up.

Windsor Club

Open grass is the best place to enjoy coffee. Drinking coffee in the sun is more soul-pleasing than any sipping under the eaves. Sometimes, people walk barefoot like children on the grass to pick up a napkin with an elephant footprint or turn to a small grocery store to pick up some delicate African objects. Susan, the waitress, and Aulia, the grocery clerk, became friends with me, and some days when I wasn't there, they would marvel at how long my hair had grown and how beautiful my new clothes looked.

Rusty Nail's proprietress is a rich English woman, tall, curly and explosive hair, and a hearty laugh that makes her look and sound full of energy. Enjoying her cheerful greetings is our happy dessert at Rusty Nail. Rusty nails provide all kinds of "Rusty Nail Special Drink," such as "Green Nail,""Nail Sunset" and "Nail Memory," which often make the fruit who is not good at drinking drunk and drunk.

Compared with the open and bright Karen, Rusty Nail is small and delicate. The cafe is built on a high place, with scattered vegetation, neatly trimmed "Jiuchangge" flower trees, and a large horse field beyond the fence. Sometimes a huge tent was erected in the garden and cheers erupted from it as a group of men gathered to watch this season's soccer match.

One of our "stolen" edens is kate marie, a private club in the mountains near tea plantations that also offers accommodation. The lily of the valley planted at the door covered the roof, and golden flowers hung down in the wind. Looking down the small hillside, a shallow stream naturally separated the coffee garden from the tea garden and corn field outside. A swing was placed in the garden, which became a collection place for many children's laughter.

The whistling thorn coffee garden is a pearl scattered on the grassland. Looking out, there are vast grasslands and thorn trees scattered on the plateau. Lucky people have seen giraffes walking slowly in the distance. Half the time of the year, the grassland is golden yellow and half the time it is green. At the end of the grassland was the rolling Engang Mountains, as if five fingers were open to caress the excellent scenery in the center of the city. In the roaring thorns to see the sunset on the grassland, is my dream and fruit.

Meet the world's oldest coffee etiquette

Ethiopia is the home of coffee. He returned home in 2004 and flew to Ethiopia first with Guo 'er, staying in Addis Ababa for a long time. Addis Ababa means "City of Flowers" in Chinese, and the guidebook reads: "This city allows you to enjoy 13 months of sunshine a year. "Breakfast in Asia is fascinating. I have never had the habit of eating breakfast lazy, every day as soon as I was awakened by the dazzling sun, pull fruit to a small cafe opposite the hotel for breakfast. The Italians colonized the city and left their mark on this cafe, which has a very European name, fresh squeezed juices, freshly baked croissants and unparalleled coffee. The café was full all morning. After two visits, beautiful Ethiopian young people greeted us with smiles like acquaintances. Enjoy a quiet long Branch(lunch) here, which became half the theme of our life in Asia.
