New year, new…tea?!
Whether you’re looking to cut back on the caffeine, up your water game or just want to delve deeper into the wonderful world of tea to discover some new favourites, tea is a great place to start – and teapigs have just the range for you! This time of year is perfect to stock up on items that will help customers get their health and wellness fix so here’s some top picks to help give your customers a boost this January…and beyond!
kombucha
Launched last year, teapigs is the first recognised tea brand to make kombucha, with their very own range consisting of three flavours: original, ginger & lemongrass and peach & mango.
“Being in the tea world, kombucha is everywhere, and we couldn’t help but think there’s always been one thing missing from the hype – the tea! Rather than using syrups, juices of flavourings, we’ve got an award winning range of teas and fruit infusions so why not use those real brewed teas to make a delicious drink? We figured better tea, equals better booch,” says Louise Cheadle, teapigs co-founder and tea taster. “Kombucha is massively popular with those looking for healthier soft drinks or beverages that can be drunk as a grown up alcohol free alternative – there’s only so much squash you can drink, right? Kombucha really ticks all the boxes for those drinks occasions throughout the day making it a must stock item.”
cold brew
Specially designed to brew quickly in cold water, teapigs cold brew is the ideal range to retail with consumers increasingly looking for low calorie, healthy drinks and the trend for reaching water goals is on the rise.
“With lots of us still working from home at the moment – as well as getting through lots of cups of tea - people are trying to keep their water intake up. It can be a struggle to get your 2 litres a day and people quite often want to avoid flavoured or sugary drinks” says Louise. “Our cold brews are a fab alternative! All-natural flavours, no added sugar and less than 3 calories per 500ml serving… delicious!”
Available in six refreshing flavours, just pop one in your water bottle or glass and…well, that’s it!
matcha
teapigs’ 100% premium grade matcha powder is super versatile – enjoy it the traditional way whisked into hot water, or make yourself a warming matcha latte, blitz it up in a smoothie, use it in sweet & savoury cooking…the possibilities are endless.
Louise says, “Traditionally drunk as a regular green tea with water, the most likely format you’ll see it on UK menus is as a latte. Not only will the very Instagrammable matcha latte be a hit with those trying to focus on their health and wellbeing with a new year detox, you can price a matcha from £3 upwards making it the most cost effective tea on your menu!”
feel-good teas
A range of all-natural teas that have been specially blended with functional ingredients that do good and taste good: snooze, cleanse, up beet, trim, calm & happy – all six teas are packed full of benefits with no compromise on teapigs’ usual full-on flavour.
Louise says: “Consumers are looking for drinks that give them specific health benefits and demand for healthy green and herbal teas is growing. All our teas are healthy but we’ve put together this special range of “feel-good teas” with ingredients that will give consumers specific benefits. And we’ve made sure they taste amazing too.
