《English Translation》

刘娜: Junxi, drinking habits in China and Korea are quite different, right?
俊熙: Very different! Koreans really can't live without iced Americanos.
刘娜: Why does it have to be 'iced'? Do people still drink it in winter?
俊熙: Yes! Because it's convenient, refreshing, not sweet, and low in calories.
刘娜: In China, many people prefer hot tea because it feels warm and comforting for the stomach.
俊熙: I've noticed that you take tea drinking very seriously, and there are many kinds of tea.
刘娜: That's right. Drinking tea isn't just about taste; it's also a habit and a form of etiquette, like serving tea when meeting guests.
俊熙: Korea also has a strong café culture. People study, work, and chat in coffee shops.
刘娜: So when you come to China, do you miss iced Americanos?
俊熙: Yes! But I've also started to fall in love with hot tea. When filming videos, I even say: 'Time for some healthy living today!'
