It is a well-established fact that, after water, tea is the most consumed beverage in the world, with a significant growth rate over the last years and consistently better product quality being available. Even so, consumers’ choice of out-of-home beverage is not tea, but coffee.

Poor experience from badly prepared, flat, or flavourless brews have left consumers disillusioned, while the wonderful teas and botanicals are grossly misrepresented. 

The European Speciality Tea Association  believe (and we agreed 100%) that the consumer needs to be inspired from the moment they enjoy the aroma, liquor and taste of the tea and can celebrate in the plant’s personality, the origin of the tea, the care that has been taken in the processing and brewing of it; this being a speciality moment.
