Recently, Xi tea launched warm winter activities, three limited packages on the shelves and around the theme, attracting many fans to buy. Interestingly, in addition to limiting the perimeter of this event, offline stores will also launch egg activities, and users will get a random favorite powder when they buy designated activity drinks through their own channels.

This free egg activity is interesting and special to many fans, and many people specially place orders and go to stores to pick up their own drinks. When they received a limited pattern of drinks from the shop assistant, they could not control their hands to take pictures, and immediately shared their joy on the social platform.

However, not everyone can get a complete limited pattern as expected.

A consumer who bought a drink specially to like spreading powder posted the drink he had just got. Although there was tea powder on the snow-white milk lid, the user said that when picking up the meal, he found that the clerk did not powder the milk cap as required by the order, and did not add it until he reminded him.

For users, the pattern on the top of the milk lid is like a flower on a latte, which does not have much effect on the overall taste of the drink, but it is the icing on the cake. It is not only pleasing to the eye, but also provides emotional value to fans, making people want to record the beauty of the moment.

But when the drink they got not only did not show the long-awaited pattern as expected, but also became an indistinguishable piece of powder, it was hard to avoid feeling that "the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment." it also makes some consumers laugh at whether the shop clerk is complaining about this free customized service, so as to vent their grievances at work.

In this regard, some Xicha employees called the injustice. They say that the reason why customers get such a pattern is not that they are perfunctory, but that it really tests their pollination skills.

From the point of view of the employee powder scene photographed by netizens, the whole operation process is not complicated. The shop assistant placed a piece of powder on the liquid surface of the drink, gently shaken off a little matcha powder and removed it, and a custom pattern sketched with matcha powder will appear on the flat milk lid.

Although sprinkling matcha powder is seen by onlookers as "you can do it with hands," the workers say that in practice, the distance between the powder tablet and the liquid surface, the angle at which the powder is being sprinkled, and the amount of powder produced will affect the final pattern state.

In addition, some employees said that the pet pattern compared with the conventional happy word powder, some are not good shape, the possibility of turning over is higher. Therefore, if the shop assistant in charge of dispersing powder is not experienced enough, or if he accidentally shakes his hand during operation, the pattern on the milk lid will most likely be pasted into an indistinguishable matcha powder.

Some tea clerks said that in fact, they can understand the thoughts and feelings of users who specially buy drinks for the purpose of spreading powder patterns, and will strive for perfect patterns when they produce them, so that consumers can return home with satisfaction, but "there are mistakes in people and slips in the horse." A few mistakes in operation may lead to unsatisfactory results.
