Why do people in China like tea and foreigners like coffee?
People in China like to make tea with tea, because many friends who know how to keep in good health now know that green tea is anti-radiation and anti-aging, and black tea nourishes and nourishes blood. Although the ancients didn't know these tricks, the refreshing effect of tea is indeed possible. For example, a dream of red mansions mentioned drinking tea and gargling. Therefore, because tea tree is unique in China or Asia, in ancient times, people discovered its various magical functions, such as refreshing the brain, removing fishy smell, and Li Qingzhao mentioned drinking group tea for health preservation when she was sick. Therefore, tea entered the palace from the folk because people discovered its magical function and because of its complicated production process, it was exclusive to the nobles for a long time until the Silk Road. Foreigners like to drink coffee because coffee trees and cocoa trees in Africa are very lush, and the slave trade in Africa was very developed in ancient times. Of course, the trade in goods is also very developed, so refreshing coffee and cocoa powder flow into Europe and become drinks for nobles.
