Thanks to the use of this packaging solution, the brand's teas are also protected from air and light, which actually gives the [preservative-free teas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/just-ice-tea-lewies-lemon) a shelf life of up to 24 months. The flavorful and fresh gluten-free organic green tea beverages from Saint James Tea can be found in varieties like Pineapple & Mango Tea, Passionfruit & Peach Tea and Blueberry & Raspberry Tea. To support a world of good, the brand encourages consumers to give back via its empowering #WhoIsYourSaintJames initiative. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Sustainable Packaging:** Opportunity for companies to incorporate eco-friendly and sustainable packaging, such as Tetra Paks made of low carbon materials and paper from responsibly managed forests. - **Preservative-free Products:** Opportunity for companies to create and market preservative-free products, thanks to innovative packaging solutions that protect them from air and light. - **Healthy and Flavorful Beverages:** Opportunity for companies to offer consumers a wide variety of healthy and flavorful beverages, such as organic green tea with natural fruit flavors. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food and Beverage:** Incorporating sustainable packaging and innovative preservation solutions can set food and beverage companies apart in a competitive market by appealing to increasingly eco-conscious consumers. - **Packaging:** Packaging companies can meet the growing demand for eco-friendly and sustainable solutions by developing innovative packaging solutions that protect and extend the shelf life of products. - **Environmental Advocacy:** Brands that emphasize environmental consciousness, such as Saint James Tea's #WhoIsYourSaintJames initiative, can inspire consumers to participate in movements that promote sustainability and conservation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sustainable Drink Packaging Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recyclable-aluminum-bottles.md) - [Sustainable Hotel Teas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ennismore.md) - [Y2K-Inspired Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juicy-peach-flavor.md) - [Functional Green Tea Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-green-teas.md) - [Cigarette-Style Tea Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/und.md) - [Ethical Tea Commercial Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clipper-teas-2.md) - [Cold Brewed Canned Teas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beachball.md) - [Rebranded Fizzy Tea Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teakoe.md) - [Fiber-Based Recyclable Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mother-parkers.md)
