At least the Barista will make their hair stand on end and probably makes half decent coffee too.

When I toured Yunnan for a couple of weeks last year, we found one “coffee” shop, and the “coffee” was expensive and revolting. The Chinese love tea, and are seldom without a little glass jarful by their side. They expect you to do the same, including straining the tea leaves with your teeth.

I wonder if the barista’s taking her own machine?

OK
And your point is ? ? ? ? ?

She’s an awar winning barrista, and if you’ve ever been to China you’ll know that you HAVE to take your coffee with you - even instant - if that’s your drink of choice!
