South Korea has the strongest coffee culture in East Asia, with nearly 50,000 cafes as of 2015 and 17,000 cafes in Seoul, an average of 17 cafes per 10,000 people, a figure higher than Seattle and San Francisco. BARISTA RULES is a ready-to-drink coffee brand under the Korean Mainichi Dairy, which was founded in 1969 and is currently one of the largest dairy companies in Korea.
 
THE PRICE OF BARISTA RULES IS ABOUT 15 YUAN, WHICH IS CLOSE TO THE PRICE OF STARBUCKS' FRAPPUCCINO, AND COMES WITH A STRAW, WHICH IS VERY CONVENIENT TO DRINK. BARISTA RULES HAS A SHELF LIFE OF THREE MONTHS, WHICH IS LONGER THAN BENAWSON, WHICH ALSO REQUIRES REFRIGERATION, AND BOTH TASTE BETTER THAN REGULAR READY-TO-DRINK COFFEE, AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO FRESHLY GROUND COFFEE. All of the brand's coffees are made with 1A grade milk produced by Mainichi Dairy, which is smooth, creamy and has a taste that creamer cannot replace. BARISTA RULES COMES IN FIVE FLAVORS, INCLUDING MOCHA AND LATTE, CARAMEL COFFEE, SUGAR-REDUCED LATTE, AND CHARCOAL-GRILLED LATTE.
 
BARISTA RULES' READY-TO-DRINK COFFEES ARE MADE FROM SINGLE-ORIGIN COFFEE, WHICH ARE SOME OF THE ARABICA VARIETIES COMMONLY FOUND IN TODAY'S SPECIALTY COFFEE WORLD. Both the latte and charcoal latte are made from Indonesian Mandheling, which is characterized by low acidity, bitterness and fullness. Among them, the charcoal-grilled latte is roasted in the whole city, which is darker than the city roast of the latte, with a more obvious body and a smoky feeling; The Mocha Latte uses Costa Rican SHB coffee beans, with cocoa and hazelnut aromas, with chocolate and cocoa powder, which is richer than ordinary mocha, and the bitterness of the chocolate neutralizes part of the sweetness, and the taste is richer; The reduced-sugar latte uses Kenyan AA coffee beans, which are moderately roasted and have a bright acidic feel; The Caramel Coffee is made from Guatemala's Antigua variety, which is the most balanced in all aspects.
 
IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT ALTHOUGH BARISTA RULES' REDUCED-SUGAR LATTE HAS 30% LESS SUGAR THAN LATTE, ITS FAT AND ENERGY ARE NOT MUCH DIFFERENT FROM OTHER LATTES, SO IT IS STILL NOT RECOMMENDED TO DRINK MORE UNRESTRAINED BECAUSE OF ITS "SUGAR REDUCTION".
