Koreans love coffee very uniquely. They developed coffee mixes early on to appeal to people all over the world, and now they have become export items. Representative examples include Dongseo Foods and Namyang Dairy, and now decaffeinated mixed coffees are appearing, and along with iced coffee, all kinds of mixed coffees that consumers can think of are being released.
Meanwhile, for coffee that is roasted and brewed directly, there are domestic brands such as Caffe Bene and Starbucks, as well as overseas brands that have grown in each region, including Hasamdong, Tteul, and Bom Bom, and even individual cafes that sell low-priced coffee and places with good scenery, so it can be said that this is the Warring States Period of coffee.
Coffee is said to have originated in Ethiopia, and today, there are mainly Robusta and Arabica species, and the taste is slightly different depending on the species.
There is the world's number one producer, Brazil's Blue Mountain, and the number two, Vietnam's G7 coffee, and uniquely, there is Luwak coffee, a type of high-quality coffee made from civet feces.
The bitterness of coffee is actually determined by the temperature and time of roasting, and it is said to be different for each maker's standardization. Starbucks's burnt taste, etc. can be said to be a good distinguishing factor that determines and distinguishes brands.
The benefits and harms of caffeine are well known, and just as the thick smoke of a teahouse in the past was said to be like muddy water in a music listening room with a strong Americano, and cola was said to be like ink, it seems that romance, jeans, guitars, coffee, and even cigarettes have become established as youth culture.
It is said that in the old days, there were teahouses and tea rooms, and morning coffee with egg yolk floating on top was popular.
It is said that Emperor Gojong of the late Joseon Dynasty first tasted coffee made at a club meeting, and that space was known as a high-class social gathering place.
There doesn't seem to be many people in the world who love coffee as much as Koreans do.
Dongseo Foods once made coffee mixes, and now they are said to have made inroads into the world and are supplying them in stick form to leading foreign countries.
If we categorize coffee, it can be categorized into liquid and powder based on form, instant and factory-made based on source, and whole bean and mixed coffee based on contents. (This is my own categorization method, and there may be other categorization methods such as by variety and place of production.)
This kind of coffee is known as a food of preference, along with cigarettes, rather than a necessary necessity.
There don't seem to be many actions/behaviors in the world that require the words "must" and "must."
If you look at the hexagrams of the Book of Changes, there is no such thing as "must" in Chinese characters, which is an extreme expression.
A song I used to sing when I was a freshman in college 40 years ago, "I was born into this world for a purpose." He said, and now it's vague, but there were lyrics that said, 'I don't know why I was born into this world, break apart. Throw away your heart and shout out as if you're broken.'
However, being born into this world has a job to do, and you were born because you were called, so there's no such thing as just being.
