Considering the data from previous years up to 2023, this positive trend indicates a stable demand trajectory for smaller packages of black tea in the UK market.

Future trends to watch for include:

Shifts in consumer preferences towards specialty or flavored tea variants.
Impact of potential trade agreements or tariffs on import volumes.
Role of sustainability practices in influencing packaging and sourcing decisions.
