The global food industry is experiencing a significant shift towards clean and nutritious eating habits. This trend is driven by an increasing number of health-conscious consumers who are prioritizing foods labeled as 'organic' and 'preservative-free.' As awareness about the benefits of organic food and beverages grows, more people are adopting healthier lifestyles, leading to a paradigm shift in eating habits.

Local cultivators and tea producers are capitalizing on this demand by introducing their own organic tea brands.
