Blue Tea Market Size, Share And Trends Analysis Report, 2030

Blue Tea Market Growth & Trends

The global blue tea market size is expected to reach USD 180.2 million by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 5.9% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is propelled by the growing awareness of health and wellness benefits linked to butterfly pea tea. Rich in antioxidants like anthocyanins, blue tea helps combat oxidative stress and inflammation, making it a popular choice for health-conscious consumers. The potential cognitive benefits, including improved memory and reduced anxiety, further enhance its appeal. As the emphasis on health and functional beverages continues to rise, the demand for blue tea is expected to follow suit.

Consumer interest in natural and visually striking products is another key driver. The vibrant blue color of butterfly pea tea, which can turn purple with the addition of acidic substances such as lemon, makes it a unique and appealing option in the beverage market. This characteristic not only attracts consumers looking for Instagram-worthy drinks but also those seeking innovative and exotic flavors. The versatility of blue tea in culinary applications, from cocktails to desserts, adds to its growing popularity.

The trend toward sustainability and organic products also supports the blue tea market. Many consumers prefer products that are organically grown and free from synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. Organic blue tea fits well within this trend, appealing to eco-conscious buyers. Additionally, certifications like USDA Organic and Fair Trade further bolster consumer trust and drive demand.

Innovation in product formulations and applications is a significant trend in the market. Manufacturers are exploring new ways to incorporate blue tea into various products, including ready-to-drink beverages, herbal blends, and dietary supplements. The use of blue tea in mixology and culinary arts is also gaining traction, with chefs and bartenders creating visually stunning and flavorful dishes and drinks.

The rise of e-commerce and digital platforms has expanded the accessibility of blue tea products. Online retail channels allow consumers to easily purchase and explore a wide range of blue tea offerings. This trend is particularly important for niche products like butterfly pea tea, as it enables small and specialty brands to reach a global audience.

Another trend is the growing popularity of wellness and mindfulness practices, which align with the consumption of blue tea. Consumers are increasingly looking for beverages that offer more than just refreshment, seeking products that contribute to their overall well-being. Blue tea, with its calming properties and health benefits, fits well within this trend, making it a favored choice among those pursuing holistic health.

Collaborations and partnerships are also shaping the blue tea market. Brands are teaming up with influencers, chefs, and health experts to promote blue tea through various channels. These collaborations help increase awareness and credibility, driving consumer interest and market growth.

This convenience makes it particularly appealing to busy consumers and those seeking quick wellness solutions

weirdly knows when you’re not sleeping. he’ll text you on a day where you’ve never implied you were going to stay up, so when you get a text from beomgyu its like he knows you so well “GO TO SLEEP???” “EHY DO U HSVE CAMERAS ON ME”

his hands brush over yours way more than a normal friend should. maybe it's from being so used to clinging onto his arm or something, it's like magnetised. his arm is like... ALUUUUUURRING.

SO MANY 0.5S AND TIKTOKS. always filming something cute and trendy, a dance, sentimental trend. like yeonjun is always hyping you up in posts or stories, commenting liking favouriting EVERYTHING!!!

wrote the date you guys met on his controller. very small, on the right corner of his switch, in white paint pen with a smiley face next to it (he's so sweet i will cry on you)

[cogcltrcorn]

there is so much fucking Lore about kendall in the first few eps (coming Purely from everything we know about rava and from his attempts as ceo) that I feel get. dismissed most of the time. or maybe I am an insane man reading tea-leaves like "wow this is actually incredible kendall characterisation"

like. he isn't positioned as being "blue", but. he is, isn't he. his marriage with rava was probably almost entirely based on the promise of "well, let's wait it (logan's bullshit) out for a bit and then when I take over it's gonna be butterflies and rainbows". they adopt a brown child. they are clearly raising iverson with a level of awareness of his asd that signifies a level of involvement in progressive politics (with the important caveat of them both being hyper-priveleged one percenters). kenrava were out there thinking they were brangelina.

and! ken may not fucking say that he hates waystar, but. he fucking does, doesn't he??? he sees the company as old and feeble and near absolete and, well, logan is right to be scared that kendall will fucking sell the company from under him because kendall KIND OF WANTS TO. because if you are a capitalist that sees an old haunted house you fucking demolish it to build a parking lot. like, he talks about waystar being bloated and ancient and unadaptive and well. BRINGING IN STEWY IS NOT ONLY A MATTER OF NEEDING MONEY AND BEING DICKMATIZED. kendall would "force a boardseat on him for the optics" and what Are the optics of bringing a private equity shark onto the board of a company you have described as the fucking TITANIC??? s1 kendall may be fucking delusional about his ability to revitalize waystar (which. Is a sinking ship. from the pure market perspective), but he isn't incompetent. he has a good understanding of the problems the company has, he has a good understanding of the trends of the market, in the same way he sees the issues logan has, both as a father and as a businessman. and he feels like it is his sacred right to inherit the waystar and make it a hyper digital diversified company of the new age (tm), which would be against logan's will, but that's unimportant, because kendall is the second coming of christ and the inheritor of everything good about logan and the sacred flame that gets rid of everything bad about logan. there is this level of insane capitalist myth making going on in his head that makes him believe that making waystar more Progressive will make it more Profitable and vice versa, so they are basically the Same Thing, right? in his mind racism is bad because it's outdated and unappealing to younger demos. if shiv thinks that she can through her enlightened understanding of politics make waystar work for Her Ideals, bringing about a better world of girlbossing and moderate republican nominees, kendall dreams of a perfect centrist company existing in a perfect centrist utopia, where they make a bajillion dollars globally without committing politically or financially to anything other than being Liked. kendall is a neolib, at his core.

Character Spotlight: Worf

By Ames

It’s an honorable week here on A Star to Steer Her By because we’re shining our character spotlight on the show’s first Klingon main character, Worf, Son of Mogh! He’s also the first specifically main cast member to span two different series (sorry, O’Brien), so we’ve got glimpses from both The Next Generation and its films and also Deep Space Nine to cover. Worf might get the most time of any character to truly develop, growing from the guy who gets thrown across the room by the baddie of the week into the complex warrior who, for just a moment, wears the robes of the Chancellor of the Klingon High Council. Go Worf!

So put on your baldric, grab your bat’leth, and top off your mug of bloodwine as we give Worf all the honor he deserves (which every so often, isn’t very much, but other times is a lot!). Read on for the commendable battles below and listen to our death yells over on this week’s podcast (fight your way to 55:39). Today is a good day to die.

[Images © CBS/Paramount]

Best moments

Bloodwine is red / Andorians are blue… While we gave Dr. Pulaski lots of props for whipping up an antidote so she could participate in Worf’s version of a tea party, it’s also just lovely that Worf honors her by performing the ceremony in the first place in “Up the Long Ladder.” Deep down under the head ridges and scowl, Worf is just a poetry-reading, tea-sipping teddy bear and we love it.

Klingon paper dolls Star Trek characters jump at any opportunity to play dress up, and we get a good instance of that in “The Emissary” when Worf and K’Ehleyr put on their warrior garb to trick a crew of Klingons in cryostasis into thinking they represent the Klingon Empire. As always, this episode gets some extra points for featuring K’Ehleyr, and it turns out Worf’s pretty good at improvisation too.

We have bonded and our families are stronger While we’re certainly going to give Worf some shit for how badly he parents his biological son, his connection with Jeremy Aster in “The Bonding” is actually quite beautiful for the both of them. Each an orphan, they are able to form a familial-type relationship together, and it’s really touching when Worf invites Jeremy to join him in the R'uustai that will bond them as brothers.

He has claimed the right of vengeance A trend emerged in our Best Worf Moments when they tended to fall into the “killing the fuck out of some jerk who deserves it” category, and the first to really deserve it is Duras in “Reunion.” Duras has been begging to get murdered since we first heard his contemptible name, but when he killed Worf’s mate in cold blood, Worf knew exactly what he had to do with his bat'leth.

You may now give birth Despite the fact that it resulted in adding a baby to the cast (blech), we have to give some credit to Worf for delivering the O’Brien baby in “Disaster” in a way that only he could. We’d need a whole additional blogpost for all the great Worf one-liners throughout the two series, as Michael Dorn’s delivery is always gold, but “Push, Keiko, push” has got to be pretty high up there.

Doesn’t gik’tal mean to the death? Worf sees so much potential in Sito Jaxa in “Lower Decks” and spends most of the episode arguing on her behalf for a promotion. So when we see Worf testing her with the made-up gik’tal martial arts to teach her to stick up for herself, we can’t help but see in her just what Worf sees. Ya know, until Picard totally gets her killed.

Assimilate this! Sure, it’s a soundbite-y line designed to be marketable in the trailer, but when Worf survives getting his EV suit punctured by tying it off with some Borg bits and then blows up the interplexing beacon in First Contact, it just feels right. Maybe it’s that Michael Dorn can get away with cheesy lines like “Assimilate this!” or maybe we just love watching Borg explode.

If you were any other man, I would kill you where you stand While the movies are mostly showcases for Picard and Data, First Contact gives some great moments to the other castmembers. Worf’s standoff with Picard is nothing short of chilling. Borg are overrunning the ship and Picard orders Worf and his security team to what is almost certain to be their deaths. Lucky for us, Worf doesn’t actually mutiny, just threatens to a little bit.

And in this corner… While we spent most of The Next Generation watching Worf getting knocked around as shorthand for “the alien threat is strong,” by Deep Space Nine, we don’t really get that anymore and instead he actually gets to kick some ass! In “By Inferno's Light,” Worf is forced to battle Jem’Hadar after Jem’Hadar in the fighting ring, and he refuses to quit even when he has every right to.

Help me fight again, Worf You’ll see in a second that sometimes when Worf tries to help another Klingon die with honor, things can get complicated, but when Kor asks for help going out in the warrior fashion, Worf is totally a good guy about it. He gets the old legend a place on Martok’s ship in “Once More Unto the Breach” even though it’s not Martok’s favorite thing, but in the end, Sto’Vo’kor gains a new warrior.

Seven down, one to go We still have more “killing the fuck out of some jerk who deserves it” mentions to bring up! What list would be complete without the murder of at least one Weyoun on it? In this case, Worf straight up snaps the neck of Weyoun 7 in “Strange Bedfellows” when he has the opportunity and it is a thing of such beauty that it gains Damar’s respect.

What I have done was for the Empire Finally, our last jerk who needed to get killed the fuck out of is that bastard Gowron in “Tacking into the Wind.” Gowron was going around making terrible decisions, rewriting the history books, and trying to get Martok killed in various ways, and Worf finally has enough and kills him in honorable combat. He gets the cloak of the Chancellor for it but selflessly passes it to Martok, like an absolute boss.

—

Worst moments

I would rather die than pollute my body with Klingon filth While Geordi is putting racism aside to be able to coexist with his new BFF Bochra in “The Enemy,” Worf takes the opposite path. By refusing to let Crusher give his blood to Patahk, Worf condemns the injured Romulan to death just because of his race. And then the show takes some of the guilt off Worf by having Patahk refuse treatment anyway, leaving Worf’s hands clean, I guess.

This is not unlike a drumhead trial Worf is also quick to fall in line with Admiral Satie’s Red Scare of a trial against crewman Tarses in “The Drumhead.” He gets so infatuated with dispensing justice that he jumps past “innocent until proven guilty” and determines that Tarses is guilty of treason because he’d lied about his alien heritage, when the two things aren’t even related.

Would you further dishonor our family with your disobedience? It’s a running joke in the Star Trek community that Worf is a terrible father and… well, he is. To his defense, he did have Alexander sprung on him when K’Ehleyr died in “Reunion,” and he did try to pawn the little brat off on the Rozhenkos, but that was a terrible move too. So when we watch how clueless he is trying to parent in “New Ground,” we cringe hard at how Worf just doesn’t get it.

Donkey Kong: 1. Worf: 0. A lot of Worf’s decisions about how to deal with his paraplegia in “Ethics” are complicated and problematic, but the way he ended up in such a state is what we’re really here to roast him on. My dude got bitched by a big blue plastic barrel in the cargo bay, and that is downright dishonorable for a Klingon warrior. Battle, sure. Explosion, fine. Spat with Spot, of course. But not blue barrel!

How could your mother mate with a Romulan? Worf’s prejudice against Romulans comes out again in “Birthright” when he learns that Ba’el is half Romulan and he starts spouting racist accusations at her when he’s already seen what kind of a person she is, and even what kind of person her father is. Since his father’s death at Khitomer, it’s a long road for Worf to accept that all Romulans are not that same, and it’s unclear if he ever gets there.

Tell him he is a pretty cat and a good cat All your hosts here at A Star to Steer Her By are ride-or-die cat people, so when Worf refuses to tell Spot he’s a good cat and a pretty cat in “Phantasms” when Data asks him to look after the feline, we take it super personally. Frankly, Data should have looked elsewhere for someone to catsit because what’s supposed to be a humorous moment in the show just makes us angry at Worf. Hiss!

I believe the Ferengi bartender is plotting something By the time Worf joins Deep Space Nine, his racism against Romulans doesn’t come up, but his racism against the Ferengi sure does. Ever since “Hippocratic Oath,” Worf refuses to call Quark by name, instead calling him “The Ferengi bartender.” We joke sometimes on the podcast that the only race it’s okay to be racist against is the Ferengi, but you know what? It’s really not okay.

My life is in your hands Sure, we can argue that Kurn coming to Worf for the Klingon rite of Mauk-to’Vor in “Sons of Mogh” is messed up and puts Worf in a tough position, but Worf manages to pick an even worse outcome for his brother. Instead of killing him and sending Kurn to Sto’Vo’kor with his honor intact, Worf does the least honorable thing and has Bashir wipe Kurn’s memory. Without Kurn’s consent! Eeesh.

Everything you do reflects on me There were a bunch of times during DS9 that we really thought Jadzia could do better than having Worf as her mate, and “Let He Who Is Without Sin” is the chief offender. Worf starts the episode arguing about Jadzia consorting with other men even though she’s with him now, gets jealous of the Dax’s previous relationships, and generally poopoo’s Jadzia’s streak of individuality like a toxic boyfriend.

Have you accepted Kahless as your lord and savior? And that’s not even the worst thing Worf does in the abysmal episode “Let He Who Is Without Sin.” He spends the rest of their vacation on Risa palling around with the New Essentialists who’ve decided that people enjoying things is bad form, which is just Worf being petty. So when he goes out of his way to help them literally rain on everyone’s parade, it’s super damaging to his character.

I do not know you, nor do I wish to know you After Jadzia’s death, Worf utterly fails as grieving in a healthy, productive way and instead opts to take it out on Ezri during “Afterimage.” Just because she’s not Jadzia, Worf treats the poor Trill with disdain, ignoring the fact that she too is living through the trauma of being joined to the symbiont. None of this is her fault! Don’t yell at the innocent cupcake!

If it looks like a Dax and it quacks like a Dax… Worf and Jadzia had chemistry like whoa and we were here for it. Worf and Ezri… just don’t. So when they bump uglies in “Penumbra,” we just find it kinda gross and distasteful. My dude, that is not your wife anymore, and she’s in a very vulnerable state having had the Dax symbiont thrust upon her, so it strikes us as kind of problematic that they go to the bone zone (and I don’t mean Worf’s calisthenics program).

Qapla’! Now that we’ve got our honor back, take the R'uustai with us and subscribe so that you can see our next batch of character spotlights as we segue smoothly into our crewmates from Deep Space Nine! On the flip side, you can listen along to our dishonorable rewatch of Enterprise over on SoundCloud or wherever you podcast, challenge us to a bat’leth fight on Facebook and Twitter, and join us for some good tea in a nice house.

A Lame Donkey and a Rattlesnake

A Marxist-Leninist Critique of Lifestyle Brand Politics

A previous piece (“Why Democrats Lose”) examined the Democrats’ individual error as an electoralist party, now however we should analyze the broader conditions of federal American politics which produced such an astonishing failure. The American state, as well as its federal parties (both the Republicans and Democrats among other minor parties later discussed), have been hollowed out by Monopoly Capital in their administrative and functional capacities and have been replaced by a system of political “lifestyle brands” profiteering to offset the decline of the rate of profit. A lifestyle brand commoditizes in unison the self-concept and group identity, reifying the self-concept and phantasmal group identity though aggregate accumulation of branded commodities and public displays of affiliation with the brand. The halest of bourgeois states become feeble and pale from epidemic Capital’s consumption; lifestyle brands are the white lead makeup and cinnebar rouge on the corpse.

A key milestone was in the early 2000s when David and Charles Koch, antiques of Monopoly Capital and lords of oil and logging (and owners of one of the largest private companies in the U.S.), had set up the NGO “Americans for Prosperity” which in the spring of 2009 seized on a viral clip of CNBC reporter Rick Santelli calling for a “Chicago Tea Party” and created a “Tea Party” Facebook page and begin organizing “Tea Party” events. Quickly after its “founding” the Tea Party would transform into one of the most identifiable brands in political marketing, despite the formation having no clear political ideology let alone an identifiable goal. Yellow rattlesnake stickers, “1776”-emblazoned apparel and yard signs requesting to see Obama’s birth certificate could be purchased and were often seen equipped by many middle-class Republicans.

The Tea Party was not the first lifestyle brand in American federal politics but it was one of the most dynamic, second only to the self-identified “Leftists” who later coalesced around Sanders prior to the first Trump election. Both Sanders’ 2016 and Obama’s 2008 campaigns had developed as low form lifestyle brands, but such brands are tied to the persona of a single politician and have a limited shelf life. (The “Trump” brand has a limited life expectancy for the same reason.) As such, the opportunists saw a model in the Tea Party and similar consumer identities and spawned the “Leftist” “Movement”, a consumer identity serving as an umbrella identity for a myriad of smaller “Leftist” consumer identities. The “Leftist” consumer identity predominantly exists in benign contradiction with the mainline Democratic brand identity, the “Blue�� Democrats, and with revolving-door fascist trends, both of which “Leftism” depends on for engagement and promotional material.

Certainly, the Democratic Party has long been the American institution for the disorganization and isolation of movements with potential for historic progress, but in the Tea Party model they saw a new opportunity to monetize that process. The result has created the most prominent form of opportunism the Communist movement has suffered. In 2016, our movement was not equipped to deal with this development, causing the mass dispersal of advanced proletarians throughout the Democrats or other, smaller dead-end “Leftist” organizations (DSA, CPUSA, PSL, etc.). This sort of organization (or formation in many cases) is characterized by being dues or donations based without expecting or requiring members to engage in regular and frequent common activity, or exercise discretion or political discipline. Instead, they encourage members to self-identify with the party on social media and buy and display branded merchandise to show off in their regular social life, fully enmeshing the ego with the organization’s (or “tendencies”) lifestyle brand. This invariably leads members to primarily engage with reactionaries (liberals, social opportunists, fascists and all variations of the middle-class) to the exclusion of engaging with and fostering comradeship with the progressively potent masses. In this way, those with potential are transmuted into opportunist functionaries.

The political lifestyle brands not only impact social movements but also enter into a prolonged dialectical relationship with the state. This has lead to social media influencers replacing career elected officials and bureaucrats and banditizing the assets of the state. (It has always been true that liberal republics are staffed by careerists and opportunists seeking to enrich themselves, but the recent development has meant a transition from tolerable parasitism to total autolysis.) Apart from individual advantage for the opportunists, this development benefits the syndicates of Monopoly Capital (far beyond just Koch Industries) by reducing administrative burdens and regulation, and opening up new business opportunities in the form of lucrative contracts to supplement the lost functions of the state.

Because “influencer politics” impaired the functions of the legislative branch most severely early on, it has also accelerated the centralization of authority in the executive branch. Which means, for the American State, the presidential administration has increasingly more sway over a government with increasingly less effect over its functions and territory, decreasing the overall stability of both ­– the American state has become obsolete, now the weak link in the global system of Imperial-Capitalism. It is now propped up largely by investments from American national capital, and China, motivated by America's residual entanglement in the current world-economic system as a hub for aggregating international extraction of imperialism, and the distribution of commodities across North America (highways and freight).

With the executive branch becoming the axis of the entire federal system, what the remaining administrative Republican faction had done was to identify and pursue key points in the electoral chain of the current system (state governorships, the House of Representatives, and the Supreme Court). If Trump had failed to secure enough electoral votes, Republican governors of states that went for Harris could have withheld their electors until the deadline passed and the Republican controlled House would have to appoint the President, and the Republican-controlled Supreme Court was poised to legitimize the proceedings. With much of the American state being too hollowed out to avert this, the Democrats were given a choice: protest this play and break the phantasm of a functioning American state, or throw the election.

So, for 2024 we must consider the real possibility that beyond the usual tactic of electoral ransom and brinksmanship discussed in the previous piece, the Democrats intentionally tried to loose. That goes a long way to explaining why the Harris campaign (against the unanimous advice of its marketing consultants) went so far to “tank the brand” for her existing market segment, with public actions like bragging openly about inviting the Republican Party into her administration and putting forward the hated Liz Cheney. Since a lifestyle brand depends on alignment with its market segment’s self-concept, demobilizing that population by flouting the self-concept is as easy as mobilizing them by playing to its comfort. The absence in late 2024 of the once-formidable “KHive” is telling.

The way things worked out for the Democratic party was to delay the internal contradictions of America’s severe instability from becoming antagonistic contradictions while the Democrats were in office, to be left to be resolved during Trump’s term. In many ways, this would seem to be a familiar strategy from Democratic leadership, as when they have held power in the American state they have consistently managed to ensure its loss rather than be forced to use it (the most infamous example being when the Democrats “lost” congress after Obama’s 2008 election). This has a straightforward explanation: exercising political power for their “campaign issues” would attract a constituency with real expectations and less tolerance for being scammed.

This contradiction around the exercise of power was particularly acute in 2024 because the Supreme Court had just handed the executive near absolute power with their decision that a President cannot be prosecuted for acts performed in their official capacity. Had the contradictions following a contested election come to a head at the tail end of Biden’s administration, or during a subsequent Harris presidency, the Democratic President would be expected to use that power to deal with the compounding political and economic crises. As it was, Democrats got to spend their billion in donations and walk away as the underdog while delivering nothing. Their final act of incoherently blaming trans people, first nations, etc. was simply a smoke screen to distract from what they had just done in plain view and cover their escape from the responsibility of the Presidency.

With the Democrats’ social liberal exit scam completed, Republicans are now left holding the bag of destroying the remaining administrative capacity of the state so that they themselves are freed from delivering actual benefits for their own base. Only the newly ascendant national syndicates of Monopoly Capital benefit, but even there the benefit is short-lived, as this un-making of the administrative state will allow international hyper-extraction of the U.S. until either Russia (ha) or, more likely, the E.U. takes its place as the new legion for Imperial-Capitalism. (Some liberal and “Leftist” commentators suggest China is a contender in succeeding the U.S. as imperial hegemon, but if the People's Republic wanted to they would have years ago given their owning of a substantial share of America's debt!) The Republicans are now doomed to play resentful hospice nurse to a dying American Empire, holding onto the delusional hope of somehow raising an ascendant America from its cremated ashes (equal in absurdity to British nationalist hopes for a resurgent British Empire after Brexit).

The nature of the past twelve years in American federal politics has been foot dragging, trying to stave off change while extracting as much from constituents as possible. But, history progresses if the reactionaries like it or not; as they lined their pockets, decay rotted out the system from underneath them. Now all factions must be transmuted by the times: the Republicans to become more the party of Trump, the Democrats to a new form of opportunism (one should believe them when they speak of pivoting to appeal more to “moderate” Republicans), and we Communists must leave behind the opportunism of “Leftism” and the dead end husks of federalism, Americanism and electoralism. Opportunist parties (CPUSA, DSA, PSL, etc.) are the Gucci vs Versace of the rouge chic aspirational middle class; at this stage in development, trying to form a national party is wholly posturing, utter pretense, and ends in the same in lifestyle brand politics that leaves the international Communist movement in the East uninterested in our work. In the place of federal “Leftism” we must work exclusively with the proletariat in local and regional politics unconstrained by the boundaries of America’s provincial system. Each district one by one, each person bolt by bolt, shining metal machined together into the golden roaring locomotive of history – the vanguard party – racing down the tracks of today into tomorrow.

I do agree the genre was never dead, but it's strange when someone's like "actually there's a lot of this around" and it's always like ten shows over the course of the last ten years and some of them aren't actually magical girl shows (Shy had magical girl vibes but it's very firmly presenting and marketing iitself as a Western-style-superhero show. and is one).

I do think it's GREAT that you spread awareness about that these anime, though!

When people are talking about the subgenre Madoka is in, they're also generally thinking magical girl warriors, not majokko series like Little Witch. And I think it's also okay to be mad there isn't a lot of anime when that's the medium that's most talked about online, even if there is more manga. When people complain about this kind of thing, I don't think they should have to put a million asterisks.

But again, I do agree it was never dead, and things have been changing positively lately! Demon Girl Next Door is great and we got an absolute WAVE of great magical girl anime this season. We haven't see a Madoka-rip off anime in quite a while so I think that trend is dying, so maybe the next big dark magical girl thing we get won't be mindlessly hyping a trend and actually have something to say.

Recs not mentioned in the OP: If magical girl adjacent stuff like SHY counts, I'd say give Healer Girl a look, it's very cute. Also for another majokko series, The Stories of the Girls Who Couldn't Become Magicians is airing this season and Witch Hat Atelier is upcoming. Some past mg stuff OP didn't mention that I haven't seen yet is Blue Reflection Ray and Girl in Twilight, might be not on here bc they might be darker but didn't seem like Madoka-alikes. They're on my list.

Anyway, thanks for the list, reblogging it for followers. I'm gonna note which of the list I think is good and I think is bad since I imagine a lot of followers share my taste

Great: Demon Girl Next Door, Flip Flappers (warning for some disquieting fanservice stuff infrequently), Little Witch Academia, Acro Trip so far, Magilumiere

Good/interesting: Artistwitch. Definitely variable and weird but it's interesting and experimental and worth a watch.

Bad: Urahara (SO boring), The Magical Girl and Lieutenant (no disrespect to the recently passed mangaka, but the mg was too moe-ified, and I heard there was a lot of SA jokes after I dropped it, NOT my thing, but it does look pretty)

Not Seen But Not interested: I've Had Enough of Being a Magical Girl makes me viscerally uncomfortable just from the image, looks like pedo bait, Six Hearts Princess also has a pedo bait design for one of them to the point it had to be censored on someone's Youtube and apparently produced only 7 eps in six years, Magia Wars...doesn't seem to exist anymore? google isn't finding it...I think I might have watched that one and it was too boring to keep up with though..Fantasista Doll...oh they're LITERALLY dolls...robots...they have masters...no.

Interested and Might check out:

Kuromajo- jeez we really are going back ten years...it's a 7 minute ep one. more of a witch show but I might check it out.

Somehow never heard of Matoi the Sacred Slayer! Potentially work checking out,

Magical Girl Kurumi: we really are scraping the barrel here budget wise, this is barely animated, not great proof the genre was thriving but yeah looks fine might check it out.

Mewkledreamy: ah it's a sanrio thing. Looks cute but probably not my cup of tea. Worth checking out

Magical Girl Aiko: it's a short, that's why nobody picked it up. The R+ rating is slightly alarming but I am curious now.

I should note the reason many of these series weren't talked about is they were never picked up for liscencing, which isn't any audience's fault.

and I didn't even include magical boy anime (which isn't as rare as some people think)

look. a subgenre going in a direction you don't like for a while doesn't make it "dead". reboots, sequels, prequels, and stuff like that are the trend in all sorts of media, not just magical girl anime.

also, there are all sorts of cool magical girl works that aren't anime, and i don't just mean manga and light novels. there's live-action stuff, VNs, webcomics, written works, cartoons from countries other than japan...

and guess what? i'm not against dark magical girl stuff by any means. madoka magica was what got me into magical girl stuff in the first place! i love all sorts of magical girl media, both light and dark, though i don't claim to be an expert by any means. there's still so much stuff i haven't watched/read/played...

anyway, the anime listed here include Artiswitch, Kuromajo-san ga Tooru, Little Witch Academia, Fantasista Doll, Magia Wars, SHY, Hina Logi: From Luck and Logic, Matoi the Sacred Slayer, I've Had Enough of Being a Magical Girl, Urahara, Flip Flappers, Six Hearts Princess, Magical Girl Kurumi, The Demon Girl Next Door, and Mewkledreamy. The upcoming ones are Magical Girl Aiko, Princess Session Orchestra, Acro Trip, Magilumiere, The Magical Girl and the Evil Lieutenant Used to be Enemies, and an unnamed magical girl anime from Studio Pierrot

Day Trip to Shenzhen 2024

Lying next to our city just across a river, Shenzhen has recently become a new place of interest for quite a few Hong Kong people looking for leisure and entertainment. It seems to be a trend that more and more local residents are willing to spend time and money to visit this bustling city in southeastern China. For many Hong Kong citizens, having a half-day trip across the border to this neighbor city has become a way to escape from their fast-paced life or an excuse to get together with their friends and relatives.

As two cities gradually integrate into a single market, the travelling time has been reduced by half on specific routes. It is really convenient to travel to Shenzhen from Hong Kong by either trains or buses. With the help of the automated immigration clearance system, the border crossing procedures are simpler and faster than before. Most passengers can complete all customs and border clearance procedures within half an hour. When you pass the border and enter Shenzhen, there is a metro station connecting visitors to the rest of the city. 

On a sunny Sunday in late September, I organized a day trip to Shenzhen with two friends of mine. Jervis is a social worker employed by a public hospital authority. He mainly works in Hong Kong, so he only comes to Shenzhen once in a blue moon; Working for a local private auditing firm as an accountant, Lung hardly ever has the chance to go to mainland China except for work reasons. Both of them would like to do some shopping and have fine dining together with learning more about the current consumer market development in China. For that reason, we decided to spend a half-day to explore two mega shopping plazas in Shenzhen.

Over the past several years, high-end shopping malls in Shenzhen have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Among the many shopping centres found in the city, Shenzhen Uniwalk is undeniably the biggest and the most popular one. Upon our arrival, we started looking for something to eat since we were way too starving. Tao Tao Ju is a traditional Chinese restaurant serving a wide variety of mouthwatering authentic Canton delicacies. We ordered two main courses and two dim sums for our lunch. As I am not used to eating spicy food, fat beef in sour soup was too tangy for me to eat in large amounts. I only tasted a little bit and left the rest for my friends. Seafood fish fans in clay pot was not that special compared to similar cuisine that we can find in most restaurants in Hong Kong. Both garlic chives dumplings and prawn rice noodle rolls were delectable and visually stunning.

Although the quality of the food was acceptable, air conditioning facility was far from satisfactory. We were sweating throughout the meal, especially when we were eating spicy food. A young waitress was considerate enough to offer each of us a free plastic fan along with free iced lemon tea. The service of this tea house was way too better than that of many other diners in Hong Kong. Additionally, this restaurant provided excellent value for money, making it an affordable option for those on a budget. 

After having lunch, we paid a visit to a large bookstore in the mall. Crowned the most beautiful bookstore of the year 2017, Reading Mi is a must-go spot for book lovers if you visit this shopping mall. Besides reading materials, you can find an array of exquisite products, including stationery, trinkets and even children's toys. It is not so much a bookshop as it is a small department store. It is absolutely an unmissable site for book enthusiasts.

Since Shenzhen Uniwalk is mainly targeted on female shoppers and youngsters, my friends and I were surely not interested in hanging around the rest of the mall. After buying some cold drinks in the food court on the ground floor, we took the metro heading to our next destination.

Late in the afternoon, we reached another great place for shopping and dining. Conveniently located above the metro station Xiasha, KK One is a prestigious shopping arcade with the theme of young and fashionable trends. With a construction area of approximately 100,000 square metres and five floors, this modern complex is full of well-known international brands as well as unique local chain stores. What caught my attention the most was not the high-end boutiques, but an elegant bookstore with a decoration style of vintage London. Once stepping into the bookstore, you felt like entering a magical world resembling to the story of Harry Potter. Sisyphe is a locale where readers can enjoy a cup of tasty coffee while reading their favorite books under a comfortable environment. Among the many shops in the mall, I think this bookstore is worth a drop in. 

Just before nightfall, my friends suggested to have an early dinner since we would not want to come back home too late. Upon reaching the top floor of the mall, a restaurant decorated in traditional palace style immediately came into our view. It was a newly renovated barbecue eatery serving variety of authentic Korean grilled meat. The interior of the diner was furbished in customary Korean style with a main color tone of brick red. Some gorgeous lifelike pink cherry blossom trees adorned the restaurant, creating an atmosphere of warmth and intimacy.

A young pretty waitress in apron directed us to a booth with a barbecue grill in the middle of our table. Our waitress patiently introduced all the popular dishes on the menu and guided us to make the payment through cell phone app. The most surprising thing was that we did not need to roast the meat ourselves because the waitress would serve the grilled food with side dishes right at our table. The restaurant also provided an assortment of dipping sauces and condiments to enhance the flavor of the grilled meat. Try wrapping the grilled meat in fresh lettuce leaves with side dishes which creates a fulfilling and satisfying bite. The thinly sliced marinated beef was succulent and tender, marinated very well with barbecue flavor. It was like a culinary masterpiece that left me craving more.

Not only did the Korean BBQ restaurant offer me a flavorsome meal but also a unique dining experience. Equipped with well-functioning air conditioning, customers can enjoy palatable food in a cozy setting even on dog days. The meal was good value for money and the service was fabulous. It is a fantastic place to spend quality time with friends and families. I will without a doubt return to this restaurant if I get another opportunity to visit Shenzhen again in the future.

To sum up, the trip to Shenzhen this autumn was fruitful and memorable. Both of the shopping complexes mentioned above offer an ideal fusion of dining, shopping and cultural experiences, leaving a lasting impression on all visitors. The city’s accessibility, affordability and authenticity make it an attractive destination for Hong Kong residents seeking to relax themselves during weekends and holidays.

Malt Beverages Market Size To Reach $1,300.60 Billion By 2030

The global malt beverages market size is expected to reach USD 1,300.60 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.9% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Since the 1990s, flavored malt beverages (FMBs) have evolved significantly from pioneers like Mike's Hard Lemonade and Zima, which introduced the concept of neutral malt base (NMB) to create a sweeter and more approachable alternative to traditional beer and spirits. This innovation has led to the growth of a dynamic and diverse category that continues to captivate consumers. The category now includes various types of malt beverages such as traditional beer, hard seltzers, hard teas, hard sodas, and ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktails, each offering unique flavor profiles that cater to a wide range of preferences. This variety has played a crucial role in maintaining the relevance and popularity of FMBs among a broad audience.

One of the key trends propelling the demand for FMBs  is the growing consumer preference for healthier ingredients and lower-calorie options. Hard seltzers, for instance, have gained immense popularity by marketing themselves as "Better For You" products, often highlighting their lower calorie and carbohydrate content compared to traditional beers. This shift towards healthier alternatives is reflective of broader health and wellness trends influencing the beverage industry. Additionally, the convenience factor of RTD cocktails and other FMBs aligns well with the modern consumer's fast-paced lifestyle, offering a quick and easy way to enjoy a flavorful alcoholic beverage without the need for extensive preparation.

The global beer market is experiencing robust growth, with a significant surge in the popularity of craft beer, driven by millennials and Gen Z. Independent breweries are leading innovation, offering diverse flavors and styles. This trend bodes well for malt beverages, as the demand for unique, high-quality, and locally crafted options rises. Large beer manufacturers are expanding their portfolios through strategic acquisitions, catering to evolving consumer preferences. The craft beer movement's emphasis on variety and quality is expected to bolster the overall demand for malt beverages in the coming years.

The rising popularity of non-alcoholic beer presents a significant growth opportunity for the malt beverages market. As more consumers embrace healthier lifestyles and the "sober curious" movement, both craft and macro-breweries are expanding their non-alcoholic offerings. This shift reflects an increasing demand for diverse, high-quality malt beverages that cater to those seeking the social experience of beer without alcohol. The growing popularity of non-alcoholic beer is opening new opportunities in the malt beverages market. Prominent players like Molson Coors with Blue Moon, Diageo with Guinness, Constellation Brands with Corona, Heineken, and AB InBev with Bud Zero are entering this segment , showcasing a strong market shift. The category in the U.S. now has around 150 non-alcoholic U.S. brands, reflecting its solid footing and expansion.

In July 2024, Athletic Brewing Company, a notable non-alcoholic brewery in the U.S., secured USD 50 million in an equity financing round spearheaded by General Atlantic, a top global growth investor, along with several existing investors. Athletic intends to utilize the new funds to foster sustained long-term growth, which includes acquiring a third brewing facility in the U.S. and expanding its non-alcoholic beer presence in retailers worldwide.

Malt Beverages Market Report Highlights

Alcoholic malt beverages accounted for a significant share of the market in 2023. These are in demand due to the consistent trend of premiumization within the beer industry, where consumers are willing to trade up for higher-end, limited-release products. This willingness to invest in premium offerings, combined with a shift back towards affordable light beers from RTD consumers, is bolstering the popularity of malt beverages.

Demand for non-alcoholic malt beverages is expected to grow rapidly from 2024 to 2030 as more breweries introduce premium no-alcohol options. Growing consumer interest in these beverages, particularly at higher price points, drives this trend.

The market for hard seltzer is expected to rise rapidly from 2024 to 2030. This is due to its appeal to health-conscious consumers seeking low-calorie, refreshing beverages with a lower alcohol content. Additionally, the product's broad, gender-neutral marketing strategy and alignment with wellness trends and lifestyle experiences drive its popularity.

Sales of malt beverages through on-trade channels accounted for the majority of the market share in 2023.This channel, which includes pubs, bars, and restaurants, is significant because it provides a social environment where consumers can enjoy drinks responsibly, fostering a sense of community and enhancing the cultural experience of beer consumption.

The Asia Pacific malt beverages market is expected to grow rapidly from 2024 to 2030. This is due to the growing popularity of premium and imported beers, especially among younger consumers. This trend is driven by an increasing interest in diverse and niche flavors, with global brewers expanding their presence to capitalize on the region's evolving tastes.

The Influence of K-Beauty on Hair Trends

The world of beauty is constantly evolving, with trends emerging from different corners of the globe. One of the most significant influences in recent years has been the rise of K-Beauty, which encompasses skincare, makeup, and hair trends originating from South Korea. K-Beauty has captured the attention of beauty enthusiasts worldwide, and its impact on hair trends is particularly noteworthy. Let's explore how K-Beauty is shaping the way we style our hair in 2024.

1. Glass Hair: The Ultimate Sleek Look

One of the most iconic hair trends to emerge from K-Beauty is glass hair. This style is characterized by its incredibly smooth, shiny, and reflective finish, resembling the surface of glass. Achieving this look involves meticulous hair care, including the use of high-quality hair serums, straighteners, and regular trims to maintain the hair's health. Glass hair is a testament to the K-Beauty philosophy of striving for perfection and attention to detail.

2. Blunt Bobs and Lobs

Blunt bobs and long bobs (lobs) have become increasingly popular, thanks to their chic and modern appeal. These styles offer a versatile look that can be tailored to suit different face shapes and personal styles. Influenced by K-Beauty, these cuts often feature sleek lines and minimal layering, creating a polished and sophisticated appearance. Blunt bobs and lobs are perfect for those who want a low-maintenance yet stylish haircut.

3. Soft Waves and Natural Texture

While sleek and straight hair is a staple in K-Beauty, there's also a strong emphasis on embracing natural texture. Soft waves and loosely curled hair are favored for their effortless and feminine look. Achieving these styles often involves minimal heat styling and the use of lightweight products that enhance the hair's natural movement. This trend aligns with the K-Beauty principle of enhancing one's natural beauty rather than completely transforming it.

4. Pastel and Vibrant Hair Colors

K-Beauty is known for its bold and playful approach to color, and this extends to hair trends as well. Pastel shades like lavender, pink, and mint green, as well as vibrant hues like electric blue and fiery red, have gained popularity. These eye-catching colors are often achieved through innovative dyeing techniques and high-quality, nourishing hair products that minimize damage. The result is hair that not only looks stunning but also feels healthy and strong.

5. Curtain Bangs and Face-Framing Layers

Curtain bangs, which gently frame the face and part down the middle, have become a favorite among K-Beauty enthusiasts. Paired with face-framing layers, this style adds dimension and softness to the hair. It's a versatile look that works well with both straight and wavy hair, making it accessible to a wide range of individuals. The popularity of curtain bangs reflects the K-Beauty emphasis on creating flattering, natural looks that enhance one's features.

6. Hair Accessories Galore

K-Beauty is also known for its love of accessories, and this trend has made its way into hair styling. Hairpins, barrettes, headbands, and scrunchies are used to add a touch of personality and flair to everyday hairstyles. These accessories are often adorned with pearls, crystals, and other embellishments, transforming simple hairstyles into eye-catching looks. The use of accessories allows for creative expression and adds a playful element to hair styling.

7. Innovative Hair Care Products

Behind every great hairstyle is a solid hair care routine, and K-Beauty has introduced a plethora of innovative products to the market. From scalp treatments and hair masks to leave-in conditioners and serums, these products focus on maintaining the health and vitality of the hair. Ingredients like fermented rice water, green tea, and camellia oil are commonly used for their nourishing and strengthening properties. The emphasis on hair care reflects the holistic approach of K-Beauty, where healthy hair is the foundation of beautiful styling.

8. Music Festival Hairstyles

Music festivals have become a platform for showcasing bold and creative hairstyles, and K-Beauty trends have a significant influence in this arena. From space buns adorned with glitter to intricate braids interwoven with colorful threads, festival-goers are embracing the playful and experimental spirit of K-Beauty. These hairstyles not only make a statement but also allow individuals to express their unique style and creativity in a vibrant and energetic setting.

Conclusion

The influence of K-Beauty on hair trends is undeniable, offering a blend of sleek, sophisticated styles and playful, experimental looks. Whether it's the polished finish of glass hair, the natural texture of soft waves, or the vibrant hues of pastel colors, K-Beauty continues to inspire and shape the way we approach hair styling. As we move through 2024, these trends remind us that beauty is not just about following the latest fads but also about embracing individuality and enhancing our natural features.

From fairy-tale weddings to festive birthday bashes, these dresses bring joy and sparkle to every occasion. For retailers and boutique owners in the UK, the demand for high-quality, stylish party dresses for girls is ever-increasing. This is where the concept of wholesale purchasing becomes a game-changer. Let's delve into why sourcing girls' party dresses wholesale in the UK is a brilliant business move and explore the latest trends dominating the market.

The Advantages of Wholesale Purchasing

Cost-Effectiveness

One of the primary benefits of buying girls' party dresses wholesale is the significant cost savings. Wholesale suppliers offer bulk prices that are considerably lower than retail rates. This allows retailers to mark up prices competitively while maintaining healthy profit margins. For businesses looking to expand their inventory without breaking the bank, wholesale purchasing is an ideal solution.

Wide Selection

Wholesale suppliers typically offer a broad array of designs, sizes, and colors. This variety ensures that retailers can cater to diverse customer preferences, from classic and elegant gowns to modern and playful frocks. The ability to stock a wide range of styles helps attract a broader customer base, boosting sales and customer loyalty.

Consistent Quality

Reputable wholesale suppliers in the UK maintain high standards of quality. This consistency is crucial for building a trusted brand. By partnering with reliable wholesalers, retailers can ensure that every dress they sell meets their customers' expectations for both style and durability. This reliability fosters repeat business and positive word-of-mouth referrals.

Trends in Girls Party Dresses

Fashion is ever-evolving, and staying abreast of current trends is vital for any retailer. Here are some of the latest trends in girls' party dresses that are captivating the UK market:

Sustainable Fashion

Sustainability has become a significant focus in the fashion industry, including children's wear. Parents are increasingly seeking eco-friendly options for their children. Dresses made from organic cotton, recycled materials, and other sustainable fabrics are in high demand. Retailers that stock eco-conscious party dresses not only cater to this growing market but also enhance their brand's reputation as socially responsible.

Pastel Perfection

Pastel colors are a perennial favorite for girls' party dresses. Soft hues like blush pink, lavender, mint green, and baby blue create an ethereal and charming look. These colors are versatile and suitable for various occasions, from weddings to tea parties. Dresses in these shades often feature delicate embellishments like lace, tulle, and floral appliqués, adding to their appeal.

Sparkle and Shine

Nothing says "party" quite like a touch of sparkle. Sequins, glitter, and metallic fabrics are trending in girls' party dresses. These elements add a festive flair and are perfect for special occasions. Whether it's a fully sequined bodice or a subtle shimmer in the skirt, dresses that shine are sure to make any little girl feel like a princess.

Vintage-Inspired Designs

Nostalgia is a powerful trend in fashion, and vintage-inspired girls' party dresses are making a comeback. Think 1950s swing dresses, Victorian lace details, and flapper-style fringe. These timeless designs evoke a sense of classic elegance and are popular among parents looking for unique and sophisticated options for their children.

Finding the Right Wholesale Supplier

Choosing the right wholesale supplier is crucial for ensuring a successful retail operation. Here are some tips for finding reliable suppliers of girls' party dresses in the UK:

Research and Reviews

Conduct thorough research to find reputable wholesalers. Look for reviews and testimonials from other retailers to gauge the quality and reliability of the supplier. Positive feedback from satisfied customers is a good indicator of a trustworthy wholesaler.

Sample Orders

Before committing to a large order, request samples from potential suppliers. This allows you to assess the quality of the dresses firsthand. Pay attention to the fabric, stitching, and overall finish to ensure they meet your standards.

Competitive Pricing

Compare prices from different wholesalers to ensure you're getting the best deal. However, be wary of prices that seem too good to be true, as they may indicate lower quality. Striking a balance between cost and quality is key.

Customer Service

Good customer service is essential in any business relationship. Choose suppliers who are responsive, transparent, and willing to address any concerns or issues promptly. Excellent communication can make the difference between a smooth transaction and a frustrating experience.

Conclusion

Investing in girls' party dresses wholesale in UK is a savvy move for retailers looking to capitalize on this thriving market. The advantages of cost-effectiveness, variety, and consistent quality make wholesale purchasing an attractive option. By staying updated with the latest fashion trends and selecting reliable suppliers, retailers can ensure they offer beautiful, high-quality dresses that delight both children and parents. As the demand for charming and stylish party dresses continues to grow, wholesale purchasing positions retailers to meet this demand effectively and profitably.
