Coffee culture in Greece

Since many European countries introduced the policy of house purchase immigration, Greece has always been a very popular destination country for investment immigrants in the European market because of its low investment threshold, charming living environment and relaxed living requirements. The most impressive thing about Greece is the beautiful scenery, but few people know about Greek coffee. A booming industry

Although the Greek economy was hit hard by the economic recession in 2008, their coffee industry is still booming-what happened at the Athens Coffee Festival proved this. It is estimated that the output value of Greek coffee industry is close to 990 million euros. In 20 15, Greeks consumed nearly 66,000 tons of coffee.

Talk about caffeine! To put it simply, people in this country like their coffee very much and usually enjoy it in the morning, noon and evening.

Iced coffee lovers

Making coffee by cold brewing may be one of the biggest trends in 20 16, but iced coffee has existed for a long time, and Greece is not the first country to try iced coffee-this honor should be attributed to Algeria, the first country to try iced coffee, and more importantly, to Frappe's unexpected invention in 1957.

The Greeks did not stop there. They invented iced cappuccino and iced espresso in 1993. But seriously, it's not surprising-have you been to Greece in summer? This is a paradise on earth: but there is too much sunshine, beauty and heat for a hot drink.

More and more world champions

Although the population of Greece is only about 1 1 10,000, they have produced 10 world champions since 2005. They performed particularly well in the World Bartender Competition and the World Turkish Coffee Competition.

This also shows their traditional culture and love of happy time-but we also think they are still potential rookies in the barista championship. In fact, a judge of the Athens Coffee Festival told us that the Greeks? I'm glad to see giants fighting with my own eyes? .

Compassionate consumers

In difficult economic times, you may expect people to save more money. But in Greece, people are eager to help others at any time-and what about them? Temporary action? (Keep moving) is a major expression.

In cafes, grocery stores, or other places, customers will voluntarily buy more things than they need-and temporarily store the extra parts in the store, which will be temporarily stored in the store, and then those who can't afford these goods can come to the store to collect them for free. This method is convenient, simple and ingenious.
