Herbal Tea: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $3.20 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $1.50 at volume. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.

What moves the price
For herbal tea, the drivers are solubility, sweetened or unsweetened, flavor, powder granulation, caffeine level, pack size, raw vs ripe, compression format — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Wholesale tea pricing is driven primarily by tea form and quality grade: loose leaf and single-origin teas are priced higher than blended or lower-grade bulk tea, while organic certification and specialty ingredients such as flowers or fruit inclusions raise cost further. Real supplier routes that fit this market include U.S.-facing bulk tea distributors and herbal wholesalers for smaller tiers, and import/Alibaba-style factory offers for larger MOQs where landed-equivalent pricing is usually lowest. Custom printing usually adds packaging cost on top of the tea itself, so the quoted unit prices are best treated as tea-content benchmarks rather than fully finished retail packs.
