Keywords: Coffee Culture, Third Place, Enjoying Tea

Hi, everyone.
Spring is coming, and it’s a great time to enjoy a cup of coffee or tea while having a good discussion! We’re excited to invite you to our next session, where we’ll talk about coffee culture and the idea of a “third place,” inspired by a video on Starbucks. Let’s share how we personally enjoy tea or coffee and explore how we relax in our daily lives.

Discussion Questions:
Q1: How do you enjoy coffee or tea?
Share how you like to drink it—whether it’s part of your daily routine, a social activity, or a way to relax. Do you have a favorite place for it? How is tea or coffee enjoyed in your culture?

Q2: Do We Need a 'Third Place'?
Starbucks was built on the idea of a “third place” outside of work and home. Do you have a third place? If not, would you want one? It doesn’t have to be a café—it could be a bar, a park, or any space where people gather. What kind of place is ideal for you?

We look forward to seeing you online on March 16th, Saturday, at 20:00 (JST). Hope you can join us for another enjoyable conversation!
