The Art and Charm of Coffee
The image of Chinese tea is peaceful and indifferent, which is called "tasting"; the image of American cola is passionate and unrestrained, which is called "drinking"; while coffee has both the meaning of tasting and drinking. During leisure time, a cup of coffee can bring out the myriad flavors of life; during busy times, a cup of coffee can reveal the rhythm and emotions of modern people. The French evaluation of coffee is: as dark as the devil, as hot as hell, as pure as an angel, and as sweet as love. Americans have a fast-paced lifestyle and are not too particular about drinking coffee. Although their consumption is the highest in the world, whether it's the brewing or drinking process, they don't pay much attention to details, and the taste of American coffee is relatively light. Arabian coffee is often served in small, exquisite copper cups, accompanied by incense burning for entertainment, which represents the charm of life in the desert. Japan, known for its tea ceremony, also has a special affection for coffee. However, Japan's coffee culture tends to develop into a set of rules and arts like flower arrangement and tea ceremony. Italians love a cup of high-concentration coffee without sugar or milk. Locals throw their money on the counter as soon as they enter the store, and a cup of Italian coffee is immediately served. They raise the cup, drink it all, and add one sentence: "Very good, I like it," then quietly leave.
