Why is latte so popular in China?

Latte coffee is the transliteration of mainland China, so it is very popular in China. Latte coffee should be the most variety of Starbucks coffee, and there is a reason why I say this. If you stand at a Starbucks counter and look at the menu board behind the counter, you'll realize this. "Vanilla Latte", "Hazelnut Latte", "Matcha Latte", "Black Tea Latte", "Espresso Latte", not to mention the regular "Latte".

You see, the other two kinds of "Cappuccino" and "Mocha" belong to the "Starbucks three-piece set" and do not have so many clones. Normally, after ordering coffee, you would notice a queue at the coffee counter. Most orders are latte. Many people will wonder, "What's the origin of latte?" "Why does Starbucks have so many lattes?" It starts with its name.

Latte, the meaning of the name

Latte is the transliteration of mainland China. In its native Italy, latte's name is Caffe Late, or it can also be called Caffelatte and Caffelatte. Because of this "latte", some jokes were also made. A friend of mine went to Italy the year before last. He wanted to experience the Italian coffee culture and went to a local coffee shop. When he told the waiter he wanted a latte, he didn't expect the waiter to bring him a glass of fresh milk. My friend was stunned and didn't know what was happening. Later, when the tour guide came to explain, he learned that in Italy, if you want to drink a latte, you must say its full name "Caffe Latte" (Caffe Latte). Just saying "latte" can lead Italians to think you want a glass of fresh milk, which can be misleading.

However, the root of this misunderstanding still lies with Americans. Who knows, Americans always call latte "Latte" and never call latte coffee by its full name, so people all over the world also call it "latte". Still from Hong Kong and Macau, they got the right name. They call the latte "coffee with milk." This name is very insightful, and it also points out the recipe for latte coffee.
