Called tea-loving coffee, there is a "tea-loving" DNA flowing naturally in the blood. The packaging of this tea-loving coffee is now the hottest national trend. LOGO cup covers are dressed in timeless red, white and blue, with a little nostalgia for the ancient wind of the Hong Kong ice room. Inspiration of coffee, are you the milk foam in the latte? milk? Or coffee?

Is it serious that Xi Xi tea sells coffee?

Different from traditional coffee, the new tea-loving coffee products make use of their advantages in tea drinks to add "innovative elements" including black sugar pearl, milk jelly, milk cap and so on. This kind of collocation is rare in today's coffee brands, but it is similar to the milk cover coffee and fruit coffee of CoCo and Nai Xue tea: while skillfully using the combination of their original materials to match the fresh taste, it greatly reduces the inventory and purchasing pressure of raw materials, and can also apply the original production process, at the same time, it more or less brings the shadow of its own signature products. Deepen consumers' expectations and first impressions of new products.

Of course, from the observation point of view of the coffee industry, the research and development ideas of tea brands such as Xi Tea can be described as "the sword goes too far" and the complete "wild road": all over the world, lovers of fine coffee do not promote the pursuit of the original flavor of coffee, pay attention to the origin of coffee beans, baking temperature and brewing parameters. Extremists even think that coffee with sugar and milk is an evil way that "doesn't understand coffee".

At present, it remains to be seen how the coffee products launched by tea brands such as Xi Tea sell and whether they are popular with consumers, but there is a gesture worthy of reference for many people in the coffee industry: coffee is no different from tea, coffee is not delicate, and tea is not cheap. Rather than pay attention to cooking parameters, raw bean stories, delicious products, consumers are willing to accept is the king of commercial brands. What do you say?

From milk tea with pearls to ice cream, to tea + wine, to yogurt cups some time ago, and the latest tea-loving coffee, this tea brand, which originated in an alley in Jiangmen, Guangdong, has grown into the leading new tea brand in China, and has been labeled as "Standard Starbucks" by the media since its rise. In recent years, as other tea brands such as CoCo Duke and Nai Xue's tea have entered the coffee industry, it is only a matter of time before tea is involved in the coffee industry.

But is "tea-loving coffee" a test of coffee products for tea, or is it aimed directly at the domestic coffee consumption market, which has been growing rapidly in recent years, and wants to join the many competitors to share a piece of cake? Whether these innovations can help tea brands get a piece of the coffee market remains to be seen.

At present, on the eve of the outbreak of the Chinese coffee market, the Chinese market is still not completely saturated and has not entered a highly competitive market. The Chinese market is also very large and can accommodate different levels of brands to coexist. Whoever comes in to do a good job can enjoy this round of dividends. Whether it is a coffee brand or a tea brand, boutique coffee has the value of boutique coffee, commercial coffee also has the demand for commercial coffee, the core of the need to land is always the competitiveness of products, and how to seize the hearts of consumers. After all, capital has never been the core of catering, and consumers are always willing to pay for good products.
