In the Song Dynasty, coffee latte art was known as ordering tea, dividing tea or tea hundred operas. So what is the difference between coffee latte art and Song Dynasty tea?
The two imaging principles are different. The raw materials for ordering tea are tea and water, and through special processing methods, the tea soup can form various patterns; coffee latte art is made of coffee and milk, two kinds of raw materials with different properties and insoluble, showing various patterns.
The two present different subjective feelings. Ordering tea gives a hazy image, which is very suitable for Chinese calligraphy and painting; coffee latte art uses the principle that milk is lighter than coffee, pours milk on espresso to create patterns, and pays more attention to the shape of patterns.
Whether the pattern is fixed. Because the tea ordering pattern is formed by the tea soup, after a period of time, the pattern will automatically disappear, and then a new pattern can be made; and the kafira flower cannot be changed once it is formed.
To sum up, although tea and latte look similar, they are very different in terms of imaging principle, the taste and durability. And the formation of coffee also requires the best machine for lattes at home.
