Ready to take your hot tea offer to the next level? ☕ We’ve traced the evolution of the humble cup of tea to highlight the unique opportunities within this category. Over the past two decades, a number of health-related claims have risen to prominence, shaping the way brands develop and communicate their tea offer. In 1999, each hot tea & infusion launched carried an average 0.2 number of health claims, by 2022 this has increased to 0.45 claims per product – demonstrating the importance of the health and wellbeing trend in the category. ‘Organic’ claims in hot tea have been consistently favoured, highlighting the power of organic tea with consumers. In comparison, teas which are ‘functional’ have seen greater movement, rising/falling in response to changing consumer demands across the last three decades. For example, teas with a ‘functional stress and sleep’ claim have seen significant growth, particularly in the last few years, accelerated by the global pandemic as consumers sought products to help them relax.
