New research from Roy Morgan shows that over 15.2 million Australians now drink hot drinks in an average week, representing 74.1% of Australians aged 14+. The survey shows that 56.1% of Australians drink at least one cup of coffee in an average week, 47.6% drink tea and only 12.5% drink hot chocolate. Both hot tea and hot coffee are popular with older Australians, and Baby Boomers are the leading drinkers of both hot coffee (69.6%) and hot tea (61.1%) in an average week. The older Pre-Boomers are also big consumers of hot coffee (67.3%) and hot tea (59.9%), but less than a third of Generation Z drink either hot tea (32.3%) or hot coffee (30.5%) in an average week. Younger Australians are more likely to drink hot chocolate in an average week than their older counterparts, although the drink is in a clear third place for all age groups. Nearly a fifth of Generation Z (19.5%) drink hot chocolate in an average week, compared to only 7.3% of Pre-Boomers. Meanwhile, iced coffee is consumed by 1.1 million Australians (5.6%) in an average week, while just over 1 million Australians (5%) drink iced tea in an average week.

A Roy Morgan Single Source survey has found that 42 per cent of Australians aged 14+ bought tea of any kind in an average four-week period during the year to March 2015. In contrast, 45 per cent bought coffee in an average four weeks. The survey also shows that 35 per cent of Australians purchased regular tea, well ahead of green tea (11 per cent) and herbal/fruit tea (eight per cent). Analysis by age shows that just 15 per cent of Australians under the age of 25 buy regular tea in any given four weeks, compared with 54 per cent of those aged 65+. This trend is also evident for green and herbal/fruit varieties of tea.
