Ice Blog Sour Cabbage Latte, Sour Cabbage·Fish·Coffee Jelly, Opening Sour and Refreshing Iced Americano, Wasabi Shrimp Cappuccino, Beat Your Ex Ice Jelly Cold Brew, Boneless Chicken Feet Macchiato... Looking at these specialty coffee names, my stomach suddenly started to feel a vague pain!

A few days ago, Tai Er (yes, that's the restaurant brand that makes sour cabbage fish) posted "Sour cabbage fish coffee, have you tried it?" which went viral in coffee groups!

Tai Er announced: Tai Er Coffee Company opens today! The world's first sour cabbage fish version of coffee! Using a completely new sour and refreshing approach, incorporating coffee into sour cabbage fish cooking techniques to create signature specialty coffees: "Ice Blog Sour Cabbage Latte" & "Sour Cabbage·Fish·Coffee Jelly"!

Since they claim to incorporate sour cabbage fish cooking techniques, how could it just be adding sour cabbage! The "grinding" of coffee beans must also use the technique of chopping ingredients, holding double blades, starting chop chop chop chop chop...! (Honestly! This technique requires some real skill, otherwise you really can't chop it well!)

After watching this, the writer tried this "bean grinding" technique at home, and then... was caught by my old father! And he stared at me while I cleaned up the coffee beans and coffee particles that flew into the stove, under the stove, in the dishwashing rack, and on the floor... The persistent writer also tried the cucumber slapping technique... Pretty good! Quite evenly crushed! Everyone else shouldn't try it! Really!

The scene at that time was probably like this! The small dots are coffee grounds, the big dots are coffee beans... Everyone can use their imagination!

Chrysanthemum Petals and Spicy Innovations

Another characteristic of this brand's sour cabbage fish is adding chrysanthemum petals, which supposedly helps clear heat and reduce internal inflammation... So paired with coffee, it should have the same effect (probably)... Thus, even Americano coffee couldn't escape the chrysanthemum petal curse, paired with whole chili peppers... "Opening Sour and Refreshing Iced Americano" looks very appetizing!

Coffee and Snack Fusion

Herbal tea shops have tea eggs, coffee shops have fried onion rings, how could a sour cabbage fish brand's coffee shop not have snacks! And they even combine coffee and snacks into one, creating "Wasabi Shrimp Cappuccino," "Beat Your Ex Ice Jelly Cold Brew," and "Boneless Chicken Feet Macchiato"!

It doesn't matter if you can't finish the coffee! The leftover coffee can be made into drip coffee bags, drink while walking, stylish! Just be careful that the straw might poke through the bag... (from past lessons at convenience stores when packing sodas, drinking and spilling all over myself!)

April Fool's Day Surprise

Of course, these specialty coffees are not actually for sale! (But I think the drip coffee bags could be a thing smiley face ) This was just an April Fool's Day joke with everyone! Why not put them on sale? Because "we don't want you to suffer"!

Hahaha! Although it was a joke, I think the drip coffee bags could actually work! And the netizens' ability to play along is really strong! You act, I cooperate, nobody calls anyone out smiley face

The Aftermath and Reality Check

Although Tai Er was just joking this time, it inspired many coffee enthusiasts who were eager to try it! So, the sour cabbage sellers happily shipped their products smiley face

As for how it tastes? Probably just as one netizen in the comments section said: After drinking it, I had an epiphany, suddenly understood everything! It makes you want to recommend it to everyone!

Just kidding! Sour cabbage and milk cannot be consumed together! Because milk is an alkaline food, while sour cabbage is an acidic food, eating them together might cause lao (belly) sai (diarrhea)! If you really want to try it, the drip coffee bags are actually pretty good! This packaging method is very! SCIEN-TIFIC!
