Later, when asked, I learned that the manager thought it was a "Mongolian medicine" in folklore, fearing that drinking it would miss the villagers' great events. There is no way to prove whether it really happened. However, we think the leaders know nothing about drinking coffee.

Precautions for drinking coffee

Coffee as a means of business social interaction, in formal occasions, we should pay special attention to drinking too much, and pay attention to the following three points when drinking coffee:

The first point: the requirement of alcohol consumption.

Drinking coffee on formal occasions is not so much a drink as a foil for leisure or communication. So many people say that drinking coffee is "the meaning of drunkenness is not in wine, but also between mountains and rivers." One cup of coffee is usually enough, no more than three cups at most. In addition, when drinking coffee, you usually have to drink it for about ten minutes and taste it in about ten bites, so that it can be elegant.

The second point: the requirements of coffee ingredients

The addition of ingredients varies according to personal drinking habits, and it is best to add them independently. Of course, if someone else added it to himself, I would also like to express my gratitude.

The third point: coffee cooling requirements.

The freshly brewed coffee is too hot. You can gently stir it in the cup with a coffee spoon to cool it down, or wait until it cools naturally before drinking. It is very impolite to try to blow coffee cold with your mouth.
