The Coffee Revolution

C2

In the bustling streets of Kyoto, Yuki was a third-generation tea master who had never considered coffee more than a passing trend. But when a modern café opened next door to her family’s tea house, curiosity got the better of her. She visited the café and was struck by the complexity of coffee brewing techniques, from pour-over to cold brew. Yuki decided to experiment by combining traditional Japanese flavors with coffee. She infused cold brew with matcha, added yuzu zest to espresso, and even created a miso-caramel latte. Her creations were a hit, attracting both locals and tourists. The success of her coffee experiments saved her family’s struggling business and bridged the gap between old traditions and new trends. Yuki’s café-tea house hybrid became a symbol of innovation, blending the elegance of Japanese tea culture with the boldness of coffee.
