We will always have tea

Known to contain antioxidants that are beneficial to health and well-liked because of its taste, tea is also considered to have strong business potential.

e all have a soft spot for tea. It could be the strong black tea we choose instead of coffee to help us wake up and complete our breakfast, for instance. Apart from its antioxidant properties, black tea – which has a stronger flavor as well - contains more caffeine than other teas, but still less than coffee.

It could also be the green tea that we like to sip after a sinful lunch, because this type of tea is said to be linked to weight loss. According to Healthline, green tea is loaded with antioxidants including epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which can improve metabolism by boosting the effects of some fat-burning hormones including norepinephrine.  

And then, enter Taiwanese bubble tea, which has caused long lines at bubble tea stalls and even led to “boba festivals”. But as the times have abruptly changed, we see no more lines for bubble tea, let alone people gathering over a cup of tea in a tea room or café.

People, therefore, enjoy tea at home, whether they prepare it themselves or have it delivered. And while almost all coffee shops offer coffee-based beverages in 1-liter bottles, they also offer tea-based drinks in 1-liter bottles simply because not everyone drinks coffee but those who drink coffee usually like tea as well.

Nabila, a graphic designer in her early thirties, said she liked to buy tea as well as coffee in 1-liter bottles.

“Sometimes I buy Earl Grey milk tea from Dua Coffee, peach mint milk tea from Toodz House or royal tea from Blue Korintji,” says Nabila, adding that she also liked Earl Grey milk tea from Pancious, and she usually drinks it after lunch or late in the afternoon.

She feels it is important to have 1-liter bottles of tea and coffee at home, especially when working from home, because it is practical as you only need to pour and add some ice cubes to a glass, and the whole bottle can last 3 to 4 days.
