Indonesia has been known as one of the countries producing tea, ranking 7th largest in the world. Moreover, Indonesian tea is renowned for its significantly high antioxidant content compared to teas from other countries.

However, despite being among the top 7 tea-producing nations, tea consumption in Indonesia remains relatively low. Indonesians tend to prefer coffee over tea.

The reason behind Indonesia being one of the world's largest tea producers can be attributed to its climate. Unlike other tea-producing countries that have their main production season in May, Indonesia's tea production is not seasonally limited. Tea producers in Indonesia can harvest tea throughout the year, whenever the tea is ready for picking.

Furthermore, Indonesian tea indeed contains a much higher level of antioxidants compared to teas from other countries. This statement is supported by Dr. Rohayati Suprihatini, the Chief Researcher of PT Riset Perkebunan Nusantara, who directly conveyed that Indonesian teas have at least 13% higher antioxidant content than teas from other countries, which typically only reach 6-10%. Indonesian teas also contain polyphenols up to 31.80% and catechins reaching 18.90%.

As a result, it can be inferred that Indonesian tea is proven to be highly nutritious and comes with a multitude of health benefits. PTPN (Perkebunan Teh Nusantara), in this regard, has introduced several new retail products available in the market. A few years back, PTPN launched the brand NUSAKITA as one of its subsidiaries.

As a subsidiary, all the main ingredients produced by NUSAKITA are directly sourced from PTPN's plantations. It is guaranteed that NUSAKITA's products offer numerous advantages over teas from other countries, particularly in terms of health benefits.

Consuming tea from NUSAKITA is highly beneficial for the body, such as preventing cancer, reducing the risk of stroke and heart diseases, as well as boosting the immune system. Apart from its many advantages, NUSAKITA tea also boasts a delightful taste and a distinctive aroma.
