Market analyses for 2026 point to a few clear directions in global tea consumption. The first is real fruit tea: more and more blends include pieces of dried or freeze-dried fruit instead of artificial flavourings. The second is cold brew tea, popular above all in the United States, where slow cold steeping produces a sweeter, less bitter drink.
The third direction is functional teas, formulated for specific moments or needs — relaxation, digestion, energy or hydration. In parallel, sustainable packaging and ethical sourcing are becoming purchase criteria for a growing share of European consumers. The North American ready-to-drink tea and coffee market is projected to grow at an annual rate of nearly 9% through 2033.
