Spotlight | Tea Firms and Fans Share Financial Success

Tea stakeholders globally find it difficult to access capital via traditional financial networks. Institutional investors cite daunting obstacles, including persistently low prices, a fragmented supply chain, and low profit margins in commodity markets. The tea industry’s vulnerability to climate change heightens risk.

Since 2021, several tea companies have successfully turned to equity crowdfunding as an alternative to traditional loans and elusive venture capital. Tea Journey is doing the same.

Invest in our move to the tea lands.
