Key Findings

•Countries can rank high for RTD (iced tea proxy) without being top hot-tea consumers (e.g., China/USA show strong RTD relative to their dry-tea per-capita).
•Traditional tea-heavy countries (e.g., Turkey, Ireland, Iran, Morocco) tend to score strongly on the dry-tea component even if RTD is moderate.
•Several large markets (Germany, Japan, UK) show meaningful presence in both RTD and dry-tea, producing balanced composite scores.
•Cross-country comparisons require unit awareness: liters of RTD and kg of dry tea represent different product categories and consumption contexts.

About This Statistic

Direct, like-for-like country statistics comparing iced tea consumption to hot tea consumption are rarely published in a single unit. Market research typically tracks iced tea as Ready-to-Drink (RTD) tea in liters, while hot tea is best proxied by total tea leaf consumption in kilograms of dry tea.

This map-ready dataset uses RTD tea per-capita consumption (liters/person/year, 2021) as an iced-tea proxy and total tea per-capita consumption (kg dry tea/person/year, 2022) as a hot-tea proxy. Because these are different units and categories, they should be visualized as separate layers or compared via a conversion assumption (e.g., kg dry tea to liters brewed), with appropriate caveats.

Methodology

To satisfy a single map layer while preserving the 'iced vs hot tea' intent, values are encoded as a COMPOSITE INDEX per country: (RTD_L_per_capita_2021 / 12.8) * 50 + (DryTea_kg_per_capita_2022 / 3.16) * 50. This yields a 0–100 style index where 100 corresponds to the highest RTD value observed in the provided RTD list (China 12.8 L) AND the highest dry-tea value observed in the provided dry-tea list (Turkey 3.16 kg). For countries missing one component, the missing component is imputed using a simple regional-pattern estimate anchored to the closest available markets (e.g., Western Europe neighbors for Europe; Gulf average for GCC; etc.) so that every country plotted has a non-empty value. This is an estimation step and is flagged in caveats.
