Have you heard of such a story? In one of the cafes in one of the cities, it is said that a chair can make you travel back in time. After you sit in that chair and take a sip of your coffee, it can take you to a time you want in the past. But only when you sit in that particular chair can you make this journey. And you can only stay there, in the past, until your coffee gets cool. Like I said, it's an urban legend. According to a novelist named Toshikazu Kawaguchi, this cafe is in one of Tokyo's narrow back alleys. Moreover, the author has set some rules for time travel with coffee in his novel. Rule 1: No matter what you did in the past, you cannot change the present. Rule 2: When you return to the past, you cannot leave the cafe. Rule 3: You can only stay in the past until your coffee gets cold.
One day, one of the customers who come to that cafe wants to travel back in time to a full week ago. Remember, she can only do this by sitting on a certain chair in the cafe. However, this woman who comes to the cafe has to wait until the evening hours because she will not force her to get up when there is another person there. And when the chair is finally empty, she immediately orders a coffee. Time stands still as coffee is served with a ritual. The vapour rising from the cup goes up all the way to the ceiling. The woman closes her eyes. The drops flowing from the ceiling begin to flow backwards in time. So what is the secret of this coffee? What kind of drink is this that is enough to open even the most secret doors of a person's brain and imagination. When you drink this, yes, although you may not be able to physically go to the past, you release yourself into the river of memories. Let's talk a little bit about these things until our coffee gets cold. In this video, you can watch the history of coffee starting from Ethiopia, how it reached Europe through our geography, and how it influenced modern culture, especially through Vienna coffee houses.
