Tea Blend: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $8.00 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $2.80 at volume, on a typical 14-day lead time. 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 tea blend, 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.
Published wholesale tea pricing spans roughly $6-$30/lb at specialty wholesalers, with some bulk loose-leaf teas around $24-$35/lb and flavored/chai blends near the lower end or mid-range depending on blend complexity. For private-label or custom-printed tea blends, the biggest cost drivers are blend formulation, ingredient grade/origin, and packaging/printing; tea-bag or sachet formats and higher-end origin teas push pricing up, while commodity black/green base blends and larger pack runs push it down. The most realistic supplier routes are specialty tea wholesalers, private-label tea manufacturers, and B2B marketplaces/distributors that already sell loose-leaf or blended tea in bulk.
