Processing and Packaging
Finally, all tea must be dried to remove any residual moisture and create a shelf-stable leaf. Again, the method of heating can dramatically change the flavor of the tea.
By contrast, the drying process can also be very gentle, to avoid imparting any flavor changes. After it’s dried, the tea is ready to be packaged and shipped all over the world.
Distribution
The tea market has been segmented based on type, packaging, distribution channel, application, and Region. By type, the market is divided into green tea, black tea, oolong tea, fruit/herbal tea, and others. On the basis of packaging, it is fragmented into plastic containers, loose tea (packets & pouches), paperboards, aluminum tins, and tea bags. By distribution channel, it is categorized into supermarkets/hypermarkets, specialty stores, convenience stores, online stores, and others.
