This year, the "mix and match" trend of beverages aims at healthy tea drinks Nowadays, people pay more and more attention to health Many people are worried that long-term consumption of carbonated drinks may lead to obesity, bone calcium loss, tooth damage, etc., while tea drinks advocating the concept of healthy diet naturally become the new favorite of consumers In this year's tea beverage market, there has been a "mix and match" trend Many beverage enterprises have launched "mix and match" tea drinks: Sprite and tea "combine into one", as well as honey green tea from Daliyuan, jasmine tea from Master Kang, etc In the supermarket, there are more than 30 or 40 kinds of tea drinks, from the original taste to the original leaves, from honey to lemon, whether it's fruit juice or carbonated soda, whether it's sweet or sour, can be taken care of one by one However, according to the investigation, most tea drinks do not indicate the tea ingredients, etc among these tea flavor drinks, what is the percentage of tea ingredients? In the face of the tea beverage market of "random flowers are becoming more and more attractive", how will consumers choose? Market visit: this year's beverage "mix and match" is popular Recently, reporters visited supermarkets and convenience stores in provincial cities and found that among all kinds of new products, tea drinks have a strong trend The combination of soda and tea is nothing new Many new beverage products have vigorously launched tea drinks, such as Daliyuan's new honey green tea, Nestle's original leaf green tea, original leaf iced black tea, etc In addition, there are also many mixed drinks, such as carbonated drinks, tea drinks and other different kinds of drinks There are dozens of "mixed" tea drinks on the shelves of supermarket beverage area, including jasmine tea, iced tea Sprite, blueberry iced tea, honey green tea, beer tea Shuang, etc Beer tea is a kind of tea drink mixed with beer flavor Coca Cola, which has always been focusing on carbonated drinks, also launched the "Sprite ICE + tea flavor" soda by the end of March The latest blueberry iced black tea launched by Wahaha, in which blueberry juice is specially added, not only makes the iced black tea more delicious, but also has high nutritional value, especially the taste demand of female consumers The trend of mixing two or more things that are not originally related to each other into mixed drinks is growing "A few days ago, the new product" Sprite ICE + tea flavored soda "was sold out as soon as it appeared in the supermarket We are replenishing it." Meitehao supermarket related people said According to the salesmen of many supermarkets, "hybrid" beverage "face" is fresh and has a unique taste, which is very suitable for young people's individual needs Drinks like "iced tea flavor" soda, a cross-border mix, will be listed one after another before May Day According to a survey conducted by the National Bureau of statistics on the Internet, as more and more consumers tend to choose healthy drinks, the popularity of carbonated drinks is gradually decreasing, so the popularity of tea drinks continues to rise For this reason, carbonated drinks have to seek new directions, and tea, which has always been considered as a healthy drink, has been looked at Consumers of the post-90s are paying more and more attention to cross-border "mix and match" drinks So, who pays the most for mixed drinks? "Because it's a new product, there are a lot of children and young people who buy it," said a salesman from Beijing Hualian Wal Mart supermarket sales staff told reporters that 40% of the drinks sold in a day are mixed flavors For new cross-border drinks, if the price is not expensive, the vast majority of consumers are willing to try In the eyes of supermarket staff, the post-90s young consumers should be the main force of consumption, and mixed drinks meet the needs of these young consumers These mixed tea drinks have caught the eyes of young people According to the reporter in the sales scene also observed that these mixed tea drinks are mostly purchased by young people under the age of 30, especially students in school Xiaozhang, a newspaper reporter who is less than 30 years old, said: "I always like to drink green tea I've tried Master Kang, uni president and other brands of green tea drinks This Sprite, which combines air drink and tea taste, looks crystal clear, feels OK, and is very refreshing." "It's time for sprite to change its taste It's disgusting to drink it again This time, it's a good idea It's very exciting!" The survey shows that most of the tea content doesn't indicate that some parents don't resist their children's choice of carbonated drinks because of the added tea flavor in carbonated drinks Huang, a 6-year-old daughter, said: "my daughter always likes to drink carbonated drinks with steam, which I always object to, but sometimes she quarrels so much that she buys a bottle to coax her Recently, I saw a tea flavored sprite When she asked for it, I would buy it for her Although we know it's carbonated drinks, it's just tea drinks It should be healthier than ordinary carbonated drinks " So, are tea drinks really as healthy as Ms Huang thinks? With questions, the reporter came to the supermarket again, and found that many tea drinks were marked with the words "low sugar, no sugar", and many tea drinks were only vaguely marked with green tea or black tea, without clearly marking the specific ingredients, and the words "tea polyphenols" could not be found on the list of ingredients of tea drinks There are only clear marks on the package are the mixed drinks with honeysuckle, chrysanthemum, lotus leaf, barley and other ingredients It is understood that according to the new national standard, tea drinks include tea drinks, seasoned tea drinks and compound (mixed) tea drinks For tea drinks, the content of tea polyphenols shall be ≥ 300mg / kg, of which, the content of green tea polyphenols shall be ≥ 500mg / kg For carbonated tea drinks, only tea polyphenols shall be ≥ 100mg / kg If the content of tea polyphenol is not up to the standard, it can only be classified as tea flavor beverage In addition, the sugar content of "low sugar" products should not be more than 4.5g per 100ml, and that of "no sugar" products should be less than 0.5% In view of the fact that most of the tea drinks on the market are not labeled with tea polyphenols, it is difficult for consumers to determine how much of the tea flavour comes from tea and how much of it comes from flavors and additives According to experts, real tea drinks are made from tea extract or its concentrate or instant tea There are many consumers think that green tea weight loss, often drink bottled green tea, but did not notice the sugar content of bottled green tea When purchasing, consumers should carefully check the product label and choose the product that suits them Most of the consumers are still at the stage of ignorance They all say they don't know that they need to pay attention to the content of tea polyphenols when buying tea drinks Instead, they will pay more attention to the design and taste of the bottle Experts say that adding tea doesn't mean adding health Some consumers will ask, "is carbonated drinks healthier than ordinary carbonated drinks when tea is added?"? Don't worry about long-term consumption of carbonated drinks, which may lead to obesity, bone calcium loss, tooth damage, etc.? " In response, a dietitian said that it added only tea extracts to the flavoring column from the flavour of carbonated drinks However, there is no clear indication of what the so-called tea extract is, or even the fact that it is tea polyphenols Therefore, it is not clear how much tea polyphenols are, nor can it be derived from raw tea or tea flavors Even if it is really tea polyphenol, then the content is relatively small, it can be said that it does not have the general effect of lowering cholesterol, diuresis, detoxification and so on At best, it changes the taste At the same time, look at the other components of its composition table, there are relatively more additives, and it's better to drink in proper amount at ordinary times.
