IMAGINE A WORLD divided, not by nations or beliefs, but by the humble cup of tea versus the mighty mug of coffee. Tea drinkers, with their delicate sips and measured tones, claim superiority, while coffee aficionados, with their caffeine-induced enthusiasm, argue for the bold and invigorating power of their beverage.
Now for some numbers, which are assumptions, but show that in India, tea drinkers outnumber those that drink coffee. On an average India consumes 837 million cups of tea every day, while the number of cups of coffee drunk are much lower at 200 million cups.
But, that slowly and surely, is changing.
Coffee chains which were thought to be exclusive to the metro cities, like Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Kolkata, and Pune, are slowly but surely making their way to Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities. The aroma of coffee is thus slowly weaving its way into the fabric of Bharat, where Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities are awakening to the rich, bold embrace of this once-urban brew. No longer confined to the bustling cafes of metropolitan India, the allure of coffee is spilling over into smaller towns, stirring a new culture of sips and conversations.
As the steam rises from freshly brewed cups, these cities are discovering the comfort of a morning espresso, the warmth of an afternoon latte, and the charm of an evening cappuccino. Coffee is planting its roots deep in the soil of Bharat, nurturing a growing community of enthusiasts who are embracing its flavours, one cup at a time.
