GATS data on US imports of tea was recently published for January 2026. China Customs export data was not available at time of publication due reporting delays created by the Chinese New Year holiday.
January 2026 US tea imports, when properly contextualized against the front-loaded January 2025 baseline, do not indicate a market in decline. World total imports are 11.0% above January 2024 levels. China green tea is 5.9% above January 2024. China organic is 56.6% above January 2024. The only category showing a genuine structural challenge independent of base effects is China conventional black tea, which is approximately 25% below January 2024 levels.
