Eric's Beijing Diary

Pure cane juice. This guy feeds the cane in from his end, and the crushed cane comes out the front, with the juice being collected in a container below. It's pretty good, actually. Not fancy, like the soft drinks modern young people have gotten so used to. but pure natural sugar in a natural base that is not overly sweet. It's nice once in awhile to taste sweetness that is actually good for you. No preservatives. No garbage. No artificial flavor. No artificial anything. Just pure cane juice. Not sophisticated; the taste is a little bland, actually. But I really like it. So much better for you than garbage soft drinks. And for 5 kuai, well, you just can't pass it up.
