What is NESTEA?

It competes with Unilever/PepsiCo's Lipton Iced Tea (the main competitor).
It provides a variety of tea products, in regular and diet forms, including liquid and powdered tea concentrates, refrigeratable teas, and ready-to-drink bottles.
RTD Tea market picture in Egypt:
RTD tea (noncarbonated beverage) in the market remained limited in Egypt with only a small consumer base of affluent households. Despite this narrow consumer profile, the category achieved total volume growth of 4% in 2012, a stronger performance than the review period C AGR of 3%. This growth was in line with the increase in the size of its consumer base rather than any increase in per capita consumption.
