When the night gradually fell, Lin Shuichi's friends also rushed to the lively Sakura-no-Sato coffee shop, the first to arrive here was the official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Kono Shohei, as the only acquaintance who knew Sakurako's past besides Lin Shuichi, although Kono rarely had time to visit Sakura-no-Sato because of work, but he had always been concerned about Sakurako's situation, which is why he would bring back a bag of coffee from abroad when he came back from a business trip.

Seeing Kono's arrival, Sakurako hurriedly and enthusiastically brought him to the location where Lin Xiuyi and Miko were, and then gave everyone some non-coffee drinks to kill time, and at this moment, Lin Xiuyi's mobile phone also vibrated again.

"Moses?"

"Eh, Xiu Yijun, that ...... I'm already outside the Sakura-no-Sato coffee shop, may I ask...... Are you here now?"

"Hey......! Wait a minute, I'll pick you up!"

As soon as Lin Xiu said that, he said goodbye to Sakurako and the others, and then walked straight in the direction of the store.

A few minutes later, when Lin Shuyi came back with a beautiful woman who looked quite temperamental, both Sakurako and Miko, as well as Kono, couldn't help but be a little surprised!

"When we first met, I was a classmate of Lin Shuichi when he was at Mingshan High School, my name is Riho Kirishima, that ...... Thank you for your kind attention!"

"Uh...... Take care of it!"

Seeing that everyone was a little restrained, Li Fan could only respond with a smile. But...... As the hostess of the place, Sakurako quickly showed her warm side, politely introducing herself to Riho, and then sending her handbag and coat to the storage place for her.

When everyone sat down, the waiter in the shop first brought a cup of hot tea to Lifan, and then asked Sakurako, the owner here:

"Excuse me...... Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Leave it to me, you just take care of the other guests!"

Sakurako smiled and said to her employees, and then said to everyone present:

"That...... I've carefully selected all the coffees that Mr. Kono brought before, and I tried to roast some of them myself before you came, so why don't we taste the espresso made from these beans first?"

Lin Shuichi and Kono Shohei nodded first in their approval of Sakurako, and then Lin Shuichi and Sakurako looked at Miko and Satoho, Miko couldn't help but shake her head in disgust when she heard that she was going to taste the bitter Espresso, and Sakura smiled and thanked Sakurako.

"Miko-chan, everyone is here tonight to taste those coffees, you can't run away from it!"

Sakurako pretended to be angry and lectured Miko.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry? I don't know why anyone likes to drink something so bitter, so ...... I'll be just like everyone else!"

……

After everyone agreed with Sakurako's proposal, Sakurako returned to the back of the counter and took out the batch of coffee beans she had made earlier, and then beat it into a powder with a flour machine.

Ten minutes later, when Sakurako and an assistant returned to their seats with coffee and some coffee beans for tasting, everyone immediately smelled a special aroma.

"Huh...... I didn't expect it to smell so good, I just don't know how it tastes......

Shohei Kono said with some pretense of understanding. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Sakurako pick up eight small boxes from the tray and place them on the table where everyone was sitting in turn. So Kono Shohei couldn't help but ask Sakurako with some curiosity:

"Sakurako-san, these are ......"

"These are semi-finished products roasted from the coffee beans you brought back with you, Mr. Kono, and there are a total of eight different roasting styles from LIGHTRoast to CITYRoast to ItalianRoast......

Seeing these coffee beans on the table, Lin Xiuyi first picked up a few small plates and put them under his nose to smell the smell, and then pointed to one of the darkest ones and asked:

"This one is the Italian roasted coffee beans that Espresso chooses!"

"Hey, then...... Let's try it first!"

At Sakurako's signal, everyone picked up a small cup of coffee in front of them, and then took a small sip gently, when the first sip of coffee was entered, everyone's expressions couldn't help but show considerable surprise, Miko couldn't help frowning and sticking out his tongue, Kono Shohei's eyebrows also showed an indescribable look, only Li Fan, although he also frowned slightly, but still praised it.

"It tastes really good!"

"Indeed, there is a very strong cinnamon aroma, but on top of that, I can taste a slightly berry sour and a burnt bitterness that makes you feel aftertaste!"

Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but be a little surprised to say the above evaluation after tasting it, and at the same time, he also looked at Sakura with some puzzlement. And Sakurako was also very surprised by the cup of coffee in her hand at this time, because ...... She had never tasted such a special Geisha coffee.

"This ...... What the hell is Geisha, and how can it be...... How can there be such a good taste......"

"If you have this...... The World Barista Championship is assured!"

Lin Xiuyi couldn't put it down, picked up the coffee cup and took another sip, and then asked Sakurako with some excitement.

"Hmm...... It's not about being sure, it's sure to win...... I haven't roasted the Typpica from La Mesa that Maruyama Coffee used in the last competition, but I've tasted the Teppica coffee, and I'm sure I won't lose out on these beans, but ...... Why do these beans look like low-quality industrial coffee ingredients......? Mr. Kono, can you tell me which farm produced these beans?"

"Huh...... Are these coffees really that good......? I remember the Japanese volunteer who gave me these coffee beans telling me that they were collected by local women from undeveloped virgin forests, mainly to earn some pocket money to support the family, and as for the rest, I really don't know!"

"Really......? Can you help me practice that school? I'd like to go to Ethiopia and see it myself!"

"This ...... If Sakurako-sama needs it, I can get in touch with you, but ...... Ethiopia is one of the least economically developed countries in the world, and it is far more backward than you think, may I ask...... Are you really going to go to that kind of hair?"

"Hey, please help me get in touch with each other, I'll fly over as soon as possible!"
