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. Discover the key shifts in these trends below ⬇️ #ThisIsFinlays #Tea #BeverageSolutions

What does the future of coffee taste like? Earlier this month we were honoured to sample three hybrid coffees from World Coffee Research’s F1 Hybrid Trials program. World Coffee Research created these coffees by crossing two different parent varieties, giving them a higher genetic potential, which makes them more likely to be adaptable across a wide range of environments. Scientific research such as this is imperative to the long-term future of the coffee industry which is facing huge challenges such as climate change, price volatility and decreasing land available for coffee cultivation. That’s why we need to create new varietals that are resistant to changes in climate, that yield more, that are better quality. This will help farmers create profitable businesses, supporting the long-term sustainability of coffee production. Fresh from the tasting session, Finlays’ Global Head of Coffee, Tom Blackwall, unpacks the importance of these trials in supporting the long-term sustainability of the coffee industry. Watch below for an overview and read the full article from Tom here: https://lnkd.in/eaw-x_Sr You can also find out more about the latest on the F1 Hybrids trial here https://lnkd.in/gcwcdyRS #ThisIsFinlays #Sustainability #Coffee #BeverageSolutions
