Ekaterra to stop Russian sales, production of Lipton, Brooke Bond

MOSCOW, Aug 1 (PRIME) -- Tea brands Lipton, Saito and Brooke Bond will no longer be produced in Russia after 2023, because their owner Ekaterra has decided to stop production and distribution here, a spokesperson told PRIME on Monday.

"International tea company Ekaterra has decided to stop its activities on the territory of the Russian Federation, because the current situation does not allow the company to develop the business sustainably,” the company said.

“This means that tea brands Lipton, Saito and Brooke Bond will stop to be produced in Russia by the end of 2022, and soon after that, company Ekaterra will stop their sales and distribution."
