Some of the commonly available variants include white, black, herbal, green and oolong tea, which are primarily cultivated in the hilly regions of Assam, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Tripura, Arunachal Pradesh and other states.

It is usually stored and distributed in plastic containers, paper packaging, bags and aluminum tin boxes.

India Tea Market Trends:

Significant growth in the food and beverage industry is one of the key factors creating a positive outlook for the tea market in India. The country is among the largest producers and consumers of tea across the globe and tea has emerged as one of the most cost-effective and healthy beverages. Moreover, the increasing consumer preference for premium and packaged tea brands is providing a thrust to the market growth. Tea manufacturers are using multi-layered packaging to store and distribute tea and minimize the instances of adulteration, spoilage and maintaining the fragrance and freshness of the tea leaves. In line with this, growing consumer awareness regarding the health and medicinal benefits of organic and green tea variants is also contributing to the rising tea consumption in India. There is a shifting preference toward novel fruit, herbal and other specialty varieties that aid in relaxation, reducing anxiety and minimizing the risks of developing chronic medical ailments. Other factors, including rising expenditure capacities of the consumers, along with the proliferating online retail channels, are anticipated to drive the tea industry in India toward growth.
