The Voice of Origin The Tea Biz Portal is a global resource for sharing commercial data and science-based insights. The portal combines weekly news that most impacts the tea industry from the Tea Biz Podcast and  Blog with Tea Journey, a magazine for tea enthusiasts filled with nuanced articles about the places and people who passionately live a life of tea.   Tea is a fascinating and intricate topic… far more complex than one person can master. Our expertise resides in professionals who know the tea lands from birth and speak the native tongue. We believe that transparency is grounded in authentic storytelling, which is why the Tea Biz Portal enlists 40 voices skilled in 12 languages to tell the story of tea. www.tea-biz.com

    Spotlight | A Global Tea Alliance

    Africa’s tea stakeholders believe that actions, more than words, are needed to address the global challenges facing the tea industry. East African Tea Trade Association (EATTA) Managing Director George Omuga said the 500 tea professionals attending the 6thAfrican Tea Convention understand the need to reduce production volume to improve quality and raise profitability, which is essential to financing climate resilience and achieving sustainable cultivation at origins worldwide. George joins us on Tea Biz to share key takeaways from the event, including details on establishing a global alliance to benefit tea-producing countries. BIO: George Omuga was named EATTA managing director in January 2024. He was welcomed as a seasoned professional “who brings a wealth of experience and a fresh perspective to lead our dynamic team. We are confident that his leadership will drive innovation, foster collaboration, and propel our association to new heights.” George is a graduate of Egerton University with an advanced degree in community studies and a Bachelor of Science in agriculture and human ecology.

    Spotlight | Amigos do Chá

    Brazil is a vast beverage market with a well-established tradition of tea and herbal infusions. Coffee and yerba mate dominate, but at-home tea is projected to generate $8 billion in sales this year, and restaurant, delivery, and takeaway tea sales will add $6 billion more. Growth is powered by evolving health and wellness trends that favor diverse and distant teas and blends. Conversations among young, urban consumers seeking healthier lifestyles now center on origins, styles, and functionality. Low-calorie, preservative-free beverages are associated with relaxation and well-being. This week, editor Aravinda Anantharaman interviews veteran importer and retailer Elizeth van der Vorst. Her business, Amigos do Chá (Friends of Tea), is located near São Paulo, the hub of specialty tea, a market she has served for 30 years. Bio: Elizeth van der Vorst has been a Brazilian tea importer since 1994. Her company, Amigos do Cha, embodies her love of tea and its power to bring people together. Elizeth has been our friend at Tea Journey for several years. Among other things, she feels a deep love for India, particularly Darjeeling. In 2022, Elizeth and her husband Gerard made their maiden trip to India, that was years in the planning. She has returned yearly and plans to lead a tour group from Brazil, South America, and Europe to India in 2025. Elizeth speaks about her love for India and why she can’t wait to bring tea lovers here.
