The habit of making coffee early in the morning, sitting by the window enjoying the aroma of coffee, watching the pink color in the mist, and reading a few pages of a book in peace. There is nothing more enjoyable than coming across a good book.
Learning how to make tea from Nguyen Tuan, although not as elaborate as: "A cup of tea in the morning mist"; Visiting the land of coffee, reading the writings of Dang Le Nguyen Vu and contemplating the meaning of life, gently blending in the fragrant aroma of coffee.

Drinking tea without absorbing the delicious taste of tea, enjoying coffee without immersing in the lingering feeling of coffee aroma, how can you know the joy of tea ceremony.
Coffee must be drunk slowly, sip by sip, the taste permeates the lips, the bitterness and aroma are both the hallmarks of a sophisticated coffee.
Making coffee is the same. First, choose the type of coffee you like. Pour the coffee into the filter, press firmly, pour boiling water just enough to cover the press base, wait for the coffee to bloom before adding water. The coffee drips, the coffee aroma has a special coffee aroma.
When they first got married, life was difficult, so the couple opened a coffee shop to earn extra income. Every night, they would sit and wash the filter, make coffee, the aroma of coffee mixed with the wife's secret smile of love. Seeing her holding her child's hand and welcoming customers, my heart was filled with indescribable emotion.
Understanding the hardship of the little coffee shop owner, many regular customers came in and took their own cups of coffee with pre-brewed boiling water, mixed it according to their preferences, and praised: "The coffee you make is so fragrant!"
Now approaching sixty, I hide behind a cup of coffee, absorbing each page of a book. Coffee is like a close friend to me every early morning.
