Coffee parlours flock to India

Coffee parlours flock to India:

"Next week, Coffee World, a gourmet coffee chain launched by Global Franchise Architects (the promoter of Pizza Corner India) in Thailand, will open its first outlet in Bangalore.

In April next year, the Rs 600-crore (Rs 6 billion) Ravi Jaipuria group will bring in the Costa coffee brand through a franchisee tie-up with the � 1.8 billion Whitbread PLC of the UK."

I found to reference to this on the Scotsman.com. I am shocked!! Scandalised! I thought the Indians were tea drinkers and connoisseurs! How could they? What will this do the wonderful tea culture and tea products from India? See what happens when we go global? I am certain you can drink tea with wifis, mp3 players and paninis. Tsk. Tsk. What is the world coming to?
