CupSoul CEO Iryna Broslavtseva emphasized the brand’s readiness to compete in foreign markets.

"The quality of our tea has been recognized not only by Ukrainian consumers but also by numerous awards, including international ones. This proves that we are creating a European-quality product in Ukraine that can be competitive in foreign markets," Broslavtseva was quoted as saying by the press service.

CupSoul, which is responsible for the tea segment within the structure of the corporation, added that exports of Graff tea to Spain began at the end of 2025.

The tea assortment currently includes 124 items. Over the past year, the brand received a number of professional awards, including the Red Dot Award for packaging design and bronze awards at the Effie Awards Ukraine.
