What moves the price
For vending tea bags, the drivers are pack count, bag size, brew strength, wrapper type, blend type, commercial machine compatibility, material, thickness — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
Published US-facing wholesale listings show tea bags commonly pricing around $0.20 each at case-scale, while bulk tea-bag marketplace and supplier references put higher-volume packaged tea bags in the roughly $0.04-$0.12 per-bag band. For custom-manufactured vending tea bags, the biggest cost drivers are wrapper format, fill weight, and whether the bag is plain, individually wrapped, or custom-printed; compatibility with vending/catering machines and foodservice pack format also affects price. Realistic supply routes are private-label tea packers, foodservice tea distributors, and import/private-label manufacturers that can quote landed-equivalent pricing at 10k+ unit volumes
