A few days ago, when I was browsing the Little Red Book, I saw a lot of people making coffee by hand in the company's pantry. I wonder, why does no one set up a tea set to make tea in the tea room?

According to reason, tea is a culture that we have inherited for more than a thousand years, but why are we all invested in coffee in our generation?

Before we solve this problem, we need to understand why coffee is so effective for workers.

First, let's take a look at a set of data:

Caffeine content is about 1.3% per 100 grams of coffee beans.

The caffeine content in every 100 grams of green tea is about 2% Mel 5%.

An 8-ounce cup of coffee generally contains more caffeine than 100mg (one cup of hand-brewed coffee (225ml/15g beans) contains about 60-90mg; an espresso (30ml/15g beans) contains about 85mg. In a cup of tea (the same amount), the caffeine content is generally between 10-50mg (depending on the type).

So in other words, the caffeine content in a cup of coffee is about five times that of tea. Why is there such a big difference? Because the way of brewing is different.

After all, no one will put the coffee beans directly into the cup, but the tea needs to be fully soaked before it can be soaked. Although there are ground and powdered tea on the market, the prices are relatively high.

For office workers, large amounts of caffeine can make them feel better at work, while drinking tea requires at least 1.1 liters of tea if it is to have the same effect.

Because of this, people also prefer to drink coffee rather than tea at work. And now that the economy is developing rapidly, our work is like clockwork, and coffee will be more in line with this fast-paced pattern.

Against this fast-paced urban civilization, tea seems out of place in the office environment. For example, if you work overtime and drink coffee, the boss will think that you work hard, but if you work overtime and drink tea, the boss will think that you have come to retire.

Now, a cup of coffee has also become a social part of the young people's office, daily communication with colleagues in different departments, cooperation negotiations between colleagues in different departments, have a cup of coffee, quite relaxed atmosphere can more easily complete communication.

Coffee, as a representative of petty bourgeoisie life, will be more in line with their urban white-collar status in the eyes of office workers.

Setting up a set of hand-brewing equipment in the tea room can make the tea room have a more coffee atmosphere, and brewing coffee in it. The sound of coffee bean wear and tear, coupled with the aroma of coffee, will make everyone feel more ceremonial, and now most tea bags are used to make tea. Preparing a set of tea sets in the tea room does not feel quite in line with the working atmosphere of the office, so it is not as attractive as coffee.

And when you are tired from work, when you go on drinking coffee, you can also go outside a little bit to get some air and relieve the fatigue of work. Even the shoemaker in the "Love Myth" has his own coffee time. Today's young people must also prefer the freedom of coffee.
