As the cold weather takes hold of the UK, we look at how resellers can make a profit from hot drinks.
Hot drinks are a firm favourite across the UK, mainly because of the cold and harsh weather conditions. The recent snow has seen many consumers staying indoors and consuming hot drinks – tea, coffee and hot chocolate are all popular.
Consumers all over the country purchase large amounts of coffee and tea bags are popular both at home and in the workplace. There are currently over 1,000 Costa coffee shops in the UK and the rise in popularity of coffee shops has seen a surge in spending on caffeine. Many consumers in the UK visit coffee shops to work and socialise and chains like Costa and Starbucks even sell products that consumers can take away to make their coffee at home taste authentic. There are a variety of flavours on the market including honey, toffee, caramel, vanilla and chocolate. These packages are sought after regularly and so for resellers, finding coffee wholesale suppliers could lead to an increase in sales.
Traditionally tea is the most popular hot beverage in the country and 96% of all tea brewed in the UK comes from tea bags (via UK Tea Council).
Many consumers look to online stores to purchase products and have their orders delivered and that includes groceries. For wholesale buyers selling tea, coffee and hot beverages online could lead to a boost in business.
