It has also been revealed that people who stay in Mumbai consume two times more coffee than tea. In the capital, however, tea is the preferred drink. Apparently, the consumption of tea supersedes coffee by 31.43 per cent.
“We Indians love our caffeine-filled beverages all year round. Consumers today are opting to order in hot beverages such as tea and coffee knowing that it will be delivered to them within the comfort of their home or office, without them having to step out. Unlike a few years ago, there are a number of variants for both beverages and consumers are loving that these choices are available to them at the tap of a button,” says Deepak Reddy, Head of Central Operations, Uber Eats India.

It is followed by masala chai, ice tea, elaichi tea and then cutting chai. And in case you are wondering which flavour of coffee people prefer, well the clear winner is cold coffee followed by traditional filter coffee.
