Unilever
saw strong underlying growth in its food business last quarter, helped by good
growth in its lines of Ready-to-Drink tea. As the overall tea market declines,
Unilever will need to place more emphasis on the growing sector of pre-prepared
tea, but fortunately drinking tea on-the-go seems to be taking off in a number
of countries. Brits drink the most tea on-the-go, nearly 300 million liters
between them this year. Meanwhile Unilever’s other home market, the Netherlands,
drinks the highest proportion of its tea on-the-go.
