How did latte come about? Who invented it?

You may have had latte in a coffee shop, or you can make it yourself, or you may not like the milky taste of latte, but this does not affect the fact that you may not know the origin of latte...

Most people's knowledge of coffee latte may come from tasting it in a coffee shop. But the real reason why coffee latte became popular is Peter Altenberg's famous saying "I'm either in a coffee shop or on the way to a coffee shop." In Vienna, coffee seems to be just a drink like tea, not petty or noble. Coffee shops are just like Chinese milk tea shops, with a large number of them and affordable prices.

Latte

Latte = Espresso + milk + a small amount of milk foam?

However, latte may not have been like this at first!

• The origin of the legendary latte coffee:

In 1683, the Turkish army attacked Vienna for the second time. At that time, Emperor Obold I of Vienna had an offensive and defensive alliance with King Augustus II of Poland. As long as the Poles learned of this news, reinforcements would arrive quickly.

The emperor went to war and nothing grew

The question was, who would be willing to seemingly break through the Turkish siege to deliver a letter to the Poles? Kochilski, a Viennese who had traveled to Turkey, volunteered to deceive the Turkish army besieging the city with his fluent Turkish, crossed the Danube, and brought in the Polish army.

The wind is whistling, the Yi River is cold, the warrior leaves and never returns

Under the attack of the Polish army and the Viennese army, the Ottoman army, though brave and good at fighting, still retreated in a hurry, leaving behind a large number of military supplies outside the city, including 500 bags of coffee beans - these were coffee beans that the Muslim world had controlled for centuries and refused to export! In this way, they easily fell into the hands of the Viennese.

Or maybe the warrior is so powerful that it only takes a few minutes to defeat the emperor.

But the problem arises again: the people of Vienna don't know what it is or how to use it .

This is clearly a genius ADC

Only Kochitsky knew that this was a magical drink . So he asked for the 500 bags of coffee beans as a reward for breaking out and asking for help, and used these spoils to open Vienna's first coffee house - Blue Bottle Coffee.

At the beginning, the coffee shop's business was not good. The reason was that people in the Christian world did not like to drink coffee grounds like Muslims; in addition, they were not used to this strong, dark and bitter drink. So the clever Kochisky changed the recipe, filtered out the coffee grounds and added a lot of milk - this is the original version of the "latte" coffee commonly seen in coffee shops today.

It's just a story, believe it or not

Really? I don't believe it.

Of course, the reason why a legend is called a legend is because it cannot be verified. Just treat it as a simple story and don't delve into it too deeply.

So, do you believe it or not?
