Green Tea in Pakistan- State of Play!
Green tea is a Rs.1.7 billion segment with 3,898 tons in volume. In 2016, after two years of low volumes, the
category has picked up and is now growing at 14%. Although in terms of the total tea market, green tea has
a minuscule share, yet Pakistan is considered to be the 4th potential market for green tea consumption. This
indicates a huge opportunity for growth in this segment.
