The global consumption of tea was 6.7 billion kilograms in 2022, making it the second most popular drink worldwide- after water. Statistics show that tea consumption will increase further in the next three years, reaching approximately 7.4 billion kg by 2025. That’s huge.

Therefore, if you want to start your tea business online in 2024 and capture a good market share of this growing industry, now is the best time. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you succeed:

Begin with an Idea- Take Time to Plan

Before you start, answer the questions listed below so that you can move forward successfully and don’t go haywire during the execution process. These include the following:

What types of tea do I want to sell? (Flavored blends, organic, hot or cold)
What’s my purpose in selling tea? (Health or flavor)
What will be the name of my company? (Name impacts how the customers perceive your tea brand)

Create a Blueprint- Business Plan

The next step is the execution plan. You need a proper business plan in 2024 to ensure you have a roadmap for your tea online business. It’s also needed to attract investors and arrange funding sources to raise business capital.
