Herbal Tea: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $1.35 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.58 at volume, on a typical 21-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point, not a binding quote. Your spec and quantity set the final price.
Median price by order quantity

|---|---|
| 500–999 units | $1.35 |
| 1,000–4,999 units | $1.12 |

| 10,000–24,999 units | $0.80 |
| 25,000–99,999 units | $0.69 |
| 100,000+ units | $0.58 |
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 spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
Published wholesale tea prices from US-facing bulk suppliers vary widely by spice, cut size, organic status, and whether the product is a simple dried botanical or a blended/flavored tea; Frontier Co-op and spice Co. show bulk loose-spice pricing that commonly lands around the low-double-digit USD per pound range for commodity botanicals, while higher-value botanicals can be materially higher. For custom-manufactured private-label or custom-printed industrial-safety configurations, the biggest price drivers are recipe complexity, powdering/granulation, sweetening, caffeine-free/botanical ingredient choice, and pack format; the closest realistic supplier routes are domestic bulk spice wholesalers, tea blenders/co-packers, and marketplace wholesalers like Faire for smaller MOQ entry points. The unit-cost bands above are an inferred wholesale-equivalent ladder based on those published bulk signals plus typical manufacturing economies of scale, so confidence is limited rather than exact-quote grade
