Thinking about the trend around the world, it seems to be a
bright prospects for TEAVANA in Japan，but it won't be easy. According to ITO
EN Co.Ltd, the 2015 beverage sales in Japan is as follows;
*Coffee: 942
billion yen
*Black tea: 458
billion yen
*Green tea: 415
billion yen
Against the world trend, Japan
is a coffee giant!
Starbucks have
growing rapidly for last 20 years and now ubiquitous in Japan. Comparing tea and coffee may be like "apples and oranges". But.... can its new brand,
TEAVANA, let some fresh air into the coffee country?? We’ll see.....I want to see it:-)
