Shanghai Coffee Culture Insights

About Shanghai's Coffee Culture My business trip to China was a really important input for me. I couldn't really learn about Shanghai's coffee culture from Instagram and such. It was only when I actually went and tried the coffee that I found out what was popular. In China, in addition to filter coffee and regular coffee, signature drinks like coffee cocktails were evolving. Melbourne also has signature drinks, but I never thought the culture had progressed this far. I've been to Japan and Korea recently, and I was surprised at how high-level the offerings were at each shop. o.p.s, which all my Chinese friends rave about, is a signature shop particularly worth waiting for. I was impressed by the delicate craftsmanship of each ingredient. I felt that this culture is something I want to introduce to Melbourne. For filter coffee, I got the impression that Ethiopian Alo and Panama were common. It might depend on the season, but there are beans that can be imported and those that can't. China is full of mysteries, but both the food and coffee were of a higher standard than the price suggested!
