March Birth Coffee
Birth Coffee
Cappuccino
Cappuccino is a traditional coffee drink said to be named after the brown robes of Capuchin monks in Italy, characterized by its three-layer structure of espresso, steamed milk, and foam milk. This three-layer harmony beautifully expresses the multilayered meaning of March—gratitude for the past, present farewells, and hope for the future. The foam milk on the surface gradually disappears over time, and this transience teaches us the value of brief yet beautiful moments, like cherry blossoms at graduation ceremonies. Cappuccino, often drunk in the morning, serves as a beverage that celebrates the beginning of a new day, holding symbolism befitting the new departures that graduates face. In Italy, there's a culture of 'not drinking cappuccino after 11 AM,' which demonstrates the importance of choosing appropriate times and places, suggesting the significance of proper behavior at life's turning points. As the name Yayoi indicates a season when trees and grass sprout, cappuccino's warmth and the lightness of its foam provide strength to support the transition to a hopeful new life.
