January-April black tea imports 6,235 tons, up 32% year-on-year

Sri Lankan tea accounts for 64% of tea imports

On July 14th, the Chunichi Shimbun's evening paper (page 14) published an article titled "Evening Tea Report," which announced the amount of black tea imported from January to April this year.

According to the report, the import amount increased by 32% from the previous year to 6235 tons, and the import value also increased by 19%, resulting in a significant increase in consumption in the black tea market.

Against this background, the production volume of black tea beverages increased by 6.5% from last year, surpassing oolong tea to rank second among tea beverages. . .

In an interview about more detailed trends, the popularity of tea with fast food is increasing (hamburgers and tea, donuts and tea, etc.) . thing.

In addition, it seems that the increase in popularity is due to the fact that new teas with aromas have been created by freely blending black teas, herbs, spices, etc., and are gradually gaining popularity. . .

I am very happy, and I think that using black tea as an ingredient from a new perspective is the evolution of the future.

"Tea to master from drinking tea"

I hope that everyone's ideas and productions will be incorporated into it.
