4 little-known facts about coffee: Latte is not coffee

Although coffee has become more and more popular in people's lives, only a small number of people in China currently drink it. However, there are still many interesting little facts about coffee that people don't know. Today, we will review some "little knowledge" about coffee to deepen your understanding of coffee in all aspects.

1. Latte is not coffee

In fact, Latte means "milk" in Italian. If you order a cup of "Latte", the waiter will only give you a cup of milk. Caffè Latte refers to milk coffee. Now many cold drink shops will launch their own "Latte" series, such as "Black Tea Latte" and "Matcha Latte", which are actually milk tea without coffee.

2. Coffee is a “fruit”

What we generally call "coffee" is actually the two seeds of the coffee plant. As a plant, coffee's fruit is actually the first kind of fruit, which is red and called "coffee cherry". I heard that coffee cherry is sweet and tastes a bit like watermelon. Coffee cherry is also a fruit with a high content of antioxidants.

3. One in four Americans drinks more than 13 cups of coffee per week.

This data is enough to show how much the American people love to drink coffee. One in four people drinks more than two cups of coffee a day; if we exclude children, pregnant women, patients, etc. who cannot drink coffee, this data should be even more exaggerated. As a country with the highest annual coffee consumption, the United States currently accounts for more than 20% of the world's annual coffee consumption. The degree of its love for coffee is self-evident.

4. You can use coffee to "refresh your nose" while smelling perfume

We can often see some coffee beans on the perfume counter. Why is that? It turns out that the human sense of smell can only smell three or less scents at a time without training, and the many different perfumes on the perfume counter will numb the sense of smell, so-called "entering a room full of orchids, one will not smell the fragrance for a long time". Coffee has no chemical ingredients and emits a fresh fragrance, so it is often used to wake up the nose. When consumers buy perfume, they use the way of smelling coffee beans to divert the excitement of the nerve center to the perfume smell and turn to another point of excitement.

I didn’t expect these little-known facts about coffee are so interesting. Do you know any other “gossip” about coffee? Let’s talk about it!
