摘要：

The global tea market is a large and diverse sector strongly embedded in the culture of many countries around the world. Small tea growers are a very important part of the tea industry. One of the most popular beverages worldwide and only second to water, tea is shared among many cultures and preferences. Robust black teas dominate the general trends in Europe and North America, while delicate green teas and oolongs are preferred in East Asia. The market interest has been growing in recent years due to increased awareness of the healthy properties of tea and the rising interest in diverse and better-quality tea products. Among them, there is a significant trend towards specialty teas. The benefits are the quality and unique flavors and, more often, the story of the small grower and the origin. Unlike mass-produced teas from large producers, specialty teas aim to focus on the authenticity and trackability of the leaf used, which include single-origin plants or those cared for with sustainable and organic farming.
