The coffee in these shops is simple and traditional, but there are no fewer than 20 varieties, plus more than a dozen western-style snacks, which is enough for you to match all kinds of "afternoon tea" packages. According to Adam, the business manager of Starbucks coffee shop, for normal people, they drink no more than 6 cups of coffee every day. When drinking coffee, adding food not only enriches the color of coffee, increases the fun of drinking coffee, but also tastes the coffee itself-each coffee has its own unique taste, and the proper combination of food will make the taste of coffee more intense. There is a basic principle in the collocation of coffee and food, that is, choose food with similar taste to set off the fragrance of coffee. In chain cafes, coffee is divided into two categories: single coffee and mixed coffee. The former tastes special, or fresh and soft, or mellow and smooth. Made from a single coffee bean from different origins, the cost is higher. The latter is a mixture of different coffee beans, such as cappuccino and caramel macchiato.

Planting and distribution of coffee trees in the world
Planting conditions of coffee trees
However, not all the land located in this area can cultivate excellent coffee trees. The ideal planting conditions of coffee trees are: the temperature is between 15-25℃, the annual rainfall must reach 1500-2000 mm, and the rainfall time should match the flowering cycle of coffee trees. Of course, in addition to the coordination of seasons and rainfall, there must be fertile soil. The most suitable soil for growing coffee is fertile soil with good drainage and volcanic ash.
In addition, although sunlight is an indispensable factor for the growth of coffee, too strong sunlight will affect the growth of coffee trees, so various producing areas usually cooperate to plant some shade trees, and generally plant more plants with higher trunks, such as bananas, mangoes and leguminous plants. The ideal altitude is 500-2000 meters. Therefore, Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee grown at an altitude of 800- 1200m has the best quality. It can be seen that the conditions for cultivating high-quality coffee are quite strict: sunshine, rainfall, soil, temperature, and the harvesting method and process of coffee beans will all affect the quality of coffee itself.
White flowers, red fruits
The first flowering period of coffee trees is about three years old. White five-petaled tubular flowers are scattered with faint jasmine fragrance, and the inflorescences are arranged in clusters. Flowers will wither after two or three days of flowering and begin to bear fruit in a few months. The fruit is drupe with a diameter of about 1.5 cm. First it was green, then it gradually turned yellow, and then it turned red when it matured. It is very similar to cherry, so it is called coffee cherry, and it can be picked at this time.
Coffee cherries contain two kinds of seeds, namely coffee beans. Two beans are connected face to face, one side of their plane. Every coffee bean has a common outer membrane called silver skin, and its outer layer is covered with a yellow skin called endocarp. The whole coffee bean is wrapped in viscous slurry to form coffee slurry, which is soft and sweet, and the outermost layer is the shell.
With the increase of time and processing procedures, the life of coffee will be shortened; Proper storage methods can prolong the shelf life of coffee.
