About some jokes caused by cultural differences

The first coffee house in Europe appeared in the mid-17th century. With the development of coffee trade, France's two ports - Le Havre and Bordeaux - have gradually become trading centers for imported coffee beans. For more than three hundred years, coffee has left more than just a legacy in Bordeaux.

Coffee beans are green, so they are also called "green coffee". Green coffee is roasted to become the common brown coffee beans. The roasted coffee beans are crushed and then brewed or boiled with boiling water to become fragrant and delicious coffee. There are many coffee roasters in Bordeaux, and although these shops are small, they do not lose out in the competition with the larger companies. There is a roastery called Marshall that processes up to 125 tons of coffee beans every year. Marshall Gris, the owner of the Marshall store, said that green coffee is full of aroma and even tastes a bit like wine after roasting, which is very tempting.

Another roastery called Sabori can provide 200 tons of coffee to coffee houses, restaurants and restaurants every year. In order to operate better, they must make adjustments at any time according to customer requirements. This is actually not an easy job. Henry Dales, the person in charge of the Sabery store, said that because the sources of coffee beans vary greatly, they must be mixed to ensure consistency to ensure the quality of the coffee. There is also a roastery called Moji, which is famous for its unique Bordeaux flavor. Christopher, the owner of the store, said that although there are more and more retail customers, their operations have been difficult due to the economic downturn and the impact of large domestic and foreign companies.

French coffee culture has a long history and is by no means as simple as eating, drinking and having fun. A cup of coffee paired with an afternoon of sunshine and time is a typical French coffee. The important thing is not the taste but the light attitude and style. The French pay attention to the environment and mood when drinking coffee. They read, write, talk and kill time at the small coffee table on the roadside. Since this century, coffeehouses have often become centers of social activities, clubs where intellectuals debate issues, and even become a typical symbol of French society and culture.
