Occulter has released a new lineup of goods you wouldn't expect to see from a company that idolizes black metal. Part of their new collection is a lineup that includes a [collection of teas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grim-reaper-tea) and even their signature black honey for sweetener. The tea is noted to be strong and tasteful, that any true tea drinker would enjoy. I never knew tea was a big think in the black metal music and arts community, but now I'm starting to think it is. After all those harsh vocals what better way to sooth your throat than with a cup of Occulter tea. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Black Metal-inspired Tea:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a line of teas inspired by niche music genres, appealing to a specific target audience and capitalizing on their interests. - **Cult-like Traditions in Fashion and Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a brand that merges unconventional subcultures with fashion and art, creating a unique and captivating aesthetic for consumers seeking edgy and alternative experiences. - **Unconventional Sweeteners:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore alternative sweeteners that align with specific niche markets, such as black honey for black metal enthusiasts, providing a differentiated product offering. ### Where This Applies - **Specialty Tea:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a tea brand targeting niche music communities, offering unique flavors and packaging that resonate with their interests. - **Alternative Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design a fashion brand that incorporates elements from subcultures like black metal, providing consumers with unconventional and distinct styles. - **Artistic Merchandise:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a brand that produces merchandise inspired by cult-like traditions and unconventional art forms, catering to an audience seeking unique and exclusive products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Haunting Cold Brew Coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grim-reaper-coffee-company.md) - [Boldly Flavored Hard Teas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hard-teas.md) - [Full-Flavored Hard Iced Teas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fullflavored-hard-iced-tea.md) - [Canned RTD Tea Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/owls-brew.md) - [Collaboration Tea-Infused Beers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teainfused-beers.md) - [Smoky Tea Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smoky-soul.md) - [Relaxing THC-Infused Iced Teas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blackberry-rooibos.md) - [Adaptogenic Cold-Brewed Teas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-equitea-co.md) - [Halloween-Inspired Tea Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloweenthemed-products.md)
