India opens its first post office coffee! In addition to regular coffee, they also sell packaged Ganges water.

Recently, Indian local media "India KuaiBao" (The Indian Express) reported that India's post office actually opened its first coffee shop in Calcutta, India's third largest city.

People's impression of the post is that it is a place for express delivery, or a place for banking business. Some time ago, there was a heated discussion about the opening of a cafe by the Post. Some netizens commented that "the main business began to engage in a cross-border sideline without understanding", while some netizens asked the post online "when will it be opened to my door".

Now, even the Indian post office has started a coffee business, it seems that the coffee industry has spread to India. The Indian post office coffee shop, which is located in the General Post Office of Calcutta, near Kolkata House Square, is named "Siuli" (from India (Sanskrit), meaning "a flower". The area was once restricted to local Indians in the small town of Bayern in British Calcutta.

In an interview with the media, Niraj Kumar, the postmaster of Calcutta, said that the purpose of setting up a coffee shop in the place where parcels are delivered is to attract the younger generation to the post office, thereby promoting parcel business at the post office. Kumar, a clerk at the coffee shop, said that the "parcel cafe" also has an area selling gifts and antique treasures, from philatelic albums to silver ornaments, and even Ganges water packaged by Gangotry.

Most of the furniture used in India's first post office coffee shop is old furniture, with brightly colored wooden furniture and sofa seats. Do not underestimate these old furniture, these old furniture is even nearly 200 years old, each item has its own unique use and special story.

A 1850s table for parcel sorting became part of the decoration of the The Parcel Cafe, which was once used to sort letters in small areas and is now both a decoration and a meal.

And a number of ancient spears were placed on the wall. You may not understand the story of spears. In British India, postal workers carried parcels and valuables everywhere, which made them the targets of outlaws. Spears are the protective weapon of these British Indian postal personnel.

In ancient times, when you sent a letter to home, you need to experience the time in which the month is the unit of time. The characteristic of "time goes by and romance never dies" continues to this day. However, how many can escape the key question of profit and non-profit. Since the rapid development of online shopping, more and more express brands have emerged in the postal industry.

In India, the mail service of some private brands is even better than that of state-owned enterprises, and the number of mail received by mail service has declined even if the post office network set up by the state is more and more extensive. The volume is serious in various industries. Today, this new product will be released, and tomorrow another will have a popular style.

In order to expand the market as much as possible, cross-border has become the choice. The domestic coffee track is so hot that the previous Xi Tea Group, which took a stake in SEESAW COFFEE;, Tianjin GouBuLi Group, has become the only brand user of the Gloria brand in China, and China Post has opened an offline coffee shop. Coffee is no longer a high-profile form, but more like western soya-bean milk for daily consumption.

If there is no epidemic, would you want to go to the post office cafe in Wonderland?
