Are you still going to Starbucks for coffee?

The word coffee did not exist before the late Qing Dynasty. The Chinese first called this kind of thing drunk by foreigners as black wine, and during the Tongzhi period, there was a book on making foreign rice, which taught Chinese cooks how to cook western food and called it fattening.

Since then, drinking coffee has become a very foreign thing.
