Running a tea blog or website and curious about the best tea affiliate programs to make money with?
This post has 12 of them to get started with. I picked these programs by analyzing what other tea blogs were referring to their readers, what other bloggers collectively recommended as the best and by checking details such as commission amount, cookie duration and affiliate resources available.
Tea is one of the most popular drinks worldwide, along with coffee and wine. In the truest sense of the word, tea is any beverage made from the leaves of the Camellia shrub, whether in tea bag or loose leaf form. Herbal tea isn’t included since none of the ingredients are actually tea.
In 2023, this market amounts to $120 billion industry with the most revenue (roughly 40% of that figure) being generated in China alone. The United States is far behind on spending but is still a huge market. The opportunity is huge for bloggers and influencers to share and profit from through online content.
Tea bloggers can rest assured that many health-conscious persons are turning to tea as a healthier alternative to sugary drinks like soda and juice, hoping to take advantage of its many health benefits.
In this post, you’ll find 12 of the best tea affiliate programs that I could find. They all bring something different to the space and hopefully your readers will love discovering products they can enjoy.
