In 2025, tea continues to be a beloved beverage that connects people worldwide, offers relaxation, and is celebrated for its health benefits. For us, as we stand for modern tea experiences and quality, staying updated on the latest tea trends is essential. Here are the key tea trends to watch out for this year:
1. Sustainable Tea Production
Consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the impact of their choices. In 2025, the demand for sustainably produced tea will grow further. This means that organic farming methods, fair trade, and eco-friendly packaging are no longer optional but a necessity. Lochá is responding by working with a direct trade partner in Sri Lanka, ensuring fair sourcing practices. Additionally, significant efforts are made to maintain soil quality in the tea gardens, supporting sustainable growth and rich flavors. Furthermore, our packaging is compostable and made from agricultural waste, aligning with our commitment to sustainability.
2. Functionality Above All
Tea as a health booster continues to gain popularity. Ingredients such as adaptogens (like ashwagandha), CBD, and superfoods like turmeric are increasingly being added to tea. These functional blends support wellness, reduce stress, and improve sleep quality.
3. Cold Infusions (Cold Brews)
While tea is traditionally consumed hot, the popularity of cold infusions is skyrocketing. Cold brew tea is perfect for warm days and offers a refreshing alternative without sugar or artificial additives. In 2025, unique flavor combinations such as hibiscus-lime and green tea-passion fruit will conquer the market.
4. Experimental Flavor Profiles
Adventurous consumers are seeking new and unexpected flavor combinations. Think of tea with a hint of chili, roasted nuts, or even savory notes like mushrooms. These innovative blends offer a whole new dimension to the tea experience and appeal to foodies looking for something special.
5. Tea as a Base for Cocktails and Mocktails
Tea is becoming a star ingredient in the world of mixology. From classic mocktails with green tea to complex cocktails with smoked black tea, the possibilities are endless. Lochá is working on recipes to inspire our Communitea with creative Mocktails where tea takes center stage.
