The Silk Road of Tea and Coffee
Short Fiction茶与咖啡的丝绸之路
Waste Waste Fresh
Cheng Yanqing, a descendant of a Suzhou tea art family, went to Italy with a box of Longjing tea recipes from the Qianlong period. However, in a cafe on the verge of closure in Venice, he discovered that the great-grandfather of the shop owner, Marco, was actually a barista who came to China to study in the 19th century. The manuscript recorded "Coffee Experiments by the West Lake." When Cheng Yanqing used a purple clay pot to brew Ethiopian Yirgacheffe, and when Marco used an Italian Moka pot to cook Shifeng Longjing, the two young people lost in their respective cultures decided to restart the forgotten "tea and coffee ancient road" - from the blue and white porcelain cups in Jingdezhen to the tin-glazed pottery pots in Florence, from the "frugality" in the "Tea Book" to the "café enlightenment" in European salons. They gradually understood that some cultures must be in collision to see the true nature.
