"Coffee seems to be an inherent city in Taishan. It is a graceful romance, and it is also a river that does not understand dry. At that time, Taishan, in the living room of the diaspora, in the western restaurants and cafes on the bustling streets. The fragrance of coffee is scattered. "The old house cafes opened by the Girl Martha and her Russian husband, Her Russian husband, Herros Toper, are the stories of many Jiangmen people pursuing the old house in the old house. beginning.

Behind the historical and cultural district of Taishan, behind that row of rows, there are two green brick houses, that is, the old house cafe. The "barbaric growth" climbing tiger covered the dark skin of the old house, hugged this old building, and had the beauty of "hugging the pipa half -cover". Pushing in the door, there is a strong fragrance of coffee in the old house. Here, there is an ordinary but not mediocre Sino -Russian couple, with love and light in my eyes; here, a relationship between coffee and overseas Chinese hometown is waiting for the excavation of people.

Entering the old house cafe, like a tunnel through time and space, can make you touch the traces of time passing, hearing the sound of years all the way.

"Newborns" in Old Old Buildings in Overseas Chinese Township

"This house has a history of 87 years." Martha recalled. Looking at the corner of the street, the old house did not have any abrupt modern decoration. It was inconspicuously located in the alley. It was elegant and simple, and successfully retained the cultural atmosphere of the overseas Chinese town building.

Pushing open the door, a unique strong aroma wrapped in the fragrance of coffee and hit the nasal cavity, accompanied by classical music, making people feel refreshing. "This is Indian spices -golden wood." Martha said.

Highly raised, oily doors and windows, elegant window screens, tables, coffee tables, cabinets, oil paintings, vases, table lamps, hook weaving cloths, coffee cups, and the large shawl on the sofa, as if the owner just just now Hurrying to leave, everything in front of me seemed to be messy, but with a carefully arranged ingenuity.

From those photos, sculptures, flowers, flowers, handkerchiefs, tea trays, various cups, and even the embroidery hanging on an old hanger in the past, you can feel the breath of time. Exquisite lifestyle, warm attitude attitude, romantic life style, dream -like Chinese and Western culture blend.

Among the main halls full of exotic style, the most notable is the oil paintings on the wall, depicting the natural scenery and iconic buildings of Russia and China. "These are the works of my husband's Father, the father of Russia," Martha said.

After the bar, Genia was skillfully preparing the new product in the store -coffee cocktail. This new drink that was born of coffee and wine because of the couple's two -style beverages have received praise from countless guests. Martha told reporters that most of the products in the store were hidden by the "unique recipes" jointly researched by the couple. There are more than 20 coffee beans in the store, from Ethiopia, Indonesia, Egypt, Panama, Brazil and other world coffee beans.

Different from other modern coffee shops, the old house coffee shop owner operates slowly. Each coffee is manually prepared by couples. Exquisite craftsmanship, carefully screening raw materials, serious and responsible and meticulous attitude towards coffee products, this is why the old house cafes "wine is not afraid of the alley".

Old house coffee shops are located in ancient buildings during the Republic of China. The Martha's husband and wife renovated the old house and decorated with a foreign style to complete the important step in the development of the cultural inheritance and coffee culture of the overseas Chinese township.

When the cafe meets old houses, oil paintings, music, these elements alone are enough to give people a beautiful and happy imagination. What needs to take time to sit down and feel.

Lover under cultural integration

"The starting point is love, love for coffee." When talking about why he abandoned trade work and joined the coffee industry, Martha's eyes were firm. "And we came to the old house at the beginning. In this room. At first glance, I thought about its future. "

In 2012, Martha met with Genia, who was studying in China at that time, met in trade docking, and then met and fell in love with each other.

Out of love for coffee, in 2018, Martha and her husband successfully rented the old house that had not been used for more than 30 years, and it took more than 3 months to transform. In July of that year, the main body of the old house was renovated and tried the business.

"I remember when I was a kid, my father grinded the coffee every day. Coffee has been with me since then, so I think coffee is not a foreign culture. Coffee is loved by Taishan people and Jiangmen people." In the eyes of Sha, to talk about the coffee atmosphere and people's understanding of coffee. Even compared with several major cities in Beishang, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, Jiangmen is not inferior to Jiangmen.

Jiangmen is the first overseas Chinese hometown in China. There are many overseas Chinese, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan compatriots. In the 1960s, overseas Chinese and Chinese people brought coffee culture to Jiangmen. The imported coffee utensils were often visible in the overseas Chinese houses of Taishan, and witnessed the rooting germination of coffee in the land of overseas Chinese township.

It is because of the attention and love for the culture of overseas Chinese, and the couple finally chose the old house as a shop, and planned to make a coffee shop a punching point that the young people of art.

The enthusiasm for coffee and art, the eyes of the Jiangmen overseas Chinese culture and coffee industry are hoped, and the couple carefully prepared each cup of hot and warm coffee. They have love in their hearts, light in their eyes, and hope in their hands. They are coffee culture in the new era, and they are the vivid embodiment of the integration of Jiangmen overseas Chinese culture and coffee culture. As a native of Taishan, Martha has really felt the changes in Taishan and Jiangmen in recent years: Jiangmen, as an important part of the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area. With the construction of high -speed rail stations, increasingly convenient transportation is not only It has facilitated personnel, and has also led to the collision of many industrial development and the collision of various cultural ideas, which greatly enhanced the attractiveness of Jiangmen and Taishan.

The government has also further promoted the "industrial revitalization", "Hong Kong and Macao integration" and "empowerment of overseas Chinese" projects, cultivated the development of the "overseas coffee" brand, continuously enhanced the level of "overseas coffee" throughout the industry chain, and promoted the coffee industry in our city to the health of health. Development fast lane. The current Jiangmen not only creates a good coffee cultural atmosphere, but also realizes the construction of one -stop services in the coffee industry, laying a solid foundation for attracting more high -quality coffee companies.

"In Jiangmen, as long as you love coffee and coffee, it only takes 3 months, Jiangmen has magic to train a 'little white' into a shop owner." Martha said. And Genia is also attracted to the environment of Jiangmen's livable and available environment, excellent coffee heritage and rich overseas Chinese culture, so that he decided to take root and become a new Taishan native.
