BREAKING: In a move sure to make both economists and Starbucks aficionados spit out their lattes, China has rolled out the red carpet, extra foam, AND biscotti for 183 Brazilian coffee sellers after the U.S. imposed stiff new tariffs on Brazil’s beloved java.
Officials report the Brazilian coffee merchants arrived at Beijing’s main airport accompanied only by their finest beans, snazzy branded mugs, and an uncanny ability to pronounce “macchiato” with style. Chinese authorities kindly ignored the airport’s strict “No Grinding in Terminal” policy, as diplomats solemnly agreed that international relations trump floor cleanliness—especially when caffeine is involved.
A Chinese Ministry of Commerce spokesperson, sipping from a mug labeled “Woke Up Like This,” stated: “It’s a simple trade: You give us your coffee, we give you…well, basically anything you want that isn’t illegal. Welcome to the People’s Republic of Productivity!”
U.S. officials expressed concern that China’s sudden embrace of Brazil’s coffee could lead to a devastating shortage of tiny heart-shaped cappuccino froth designs at brunch spots across America, stating “We never wanted a full-blown trade war… especially not before we’ve had our morning cup.”
Meanwhile, in a turn of events that has the Brazilian Coffee Exporters Association sweating more than a barista on Black Friday, Chinese TikTokers have taken to posting videos trying to pronounce “café com leite” and ranking their favorite beans by how quickly they make you reconsider quitting your office job.
Diplomatic sources confirm next week’s scheduled “Espresso Summit” will include an all-nighter, a latte art contest, and, for the brave, uninhibited access to an industrial espresso machine.
As for US coffee lovers, experts recommend bracing for lattes with a hint of international regret and, perhaps, picking up a taste for herbal tea. Just don’t ask what kind.
