Your wholesale loose leaf tea supplier that's non-GMO certified, offers up to 150mg of natural caffeine per cup, and a seven-blend full-leaf range your customers won't find at the supermarket.
Most tea loose leaf wholesale programs sell the same loose tea the supermarket carries. We offer the retail-grade blend at a wholesale margin, which means your customers get the product they came in for and your P&L gets the markup that keeps the shelf stocked. Six caffeinated blends plus one caffeine-free sleep tea, product photography, marketing collateral, and menu integration support for every account that carries the range.
Seven blends worth stocking, ranked by wholesale reorder velocity. Six caffeinated pyramid-worthy loose leaf teas and one caffeine-free sleep tea, all shipped in loose leaf bulk tea format sized for cafe service, retail resale, or office stocking.
The runaway lead across retail and wholesale accounts. Orange Pekoe black tea layered with hibiscus, cornflower petals, orange peel, and natural passionfruit, orange, and lemon flavors. Eye-catching on shelf, memorable in cup, 150mg of natural caffeine, the kind of blend that anchors a tea program and pulls customers back to the counter.
The green tea slot that pulls its weight for cafes running an iced tea program. Peppermint, pomegranate, lime, and 135mg of natural caffeine. Cold brews well overnight, which turns a hot-tea SKU into a summer menu item without adding another product to the invoice.
The green tea choice if you want a fruit-forward option on the menu. Açai, strawberry, wild berry, passionfruit, and safflower petals, 135mg of natural caffeine. The pick that converts first-time green tea buyers into repeat customers, which is where wholesale reorders start compounding.
A classic that anchors the menu for cafes and restaurants where familiarity moves volume. Black tea and natural bergamot, no filler, 150mg of natural caffeine that puts Zest's version above the standard supermarket alternative. Reorders come in steady rather than seasonal, which is what most buyers actually want on the schedule.
The fall and winter anchor for cafes running a seasonal menu program. Real cinnamon chips and apple pieces on a premium black tea base, 150mg of natural caffeine. Reads as dessert-adjacent on a menu, which is exactly the pairing that lifts baked-good attach rate at the counter.
The chai pick that anchors oat-milk service and latte menu items. Cardamom seeds, ginger root, cinnamon chips, cloves, and a black tea base delivering 150mg of natural caffeine. Handles milk and heat without losing character, which makes it a workhorse for any cafe carrying a chai latte at premium pricing.
A caffeine-free option in the range, positioned to round out an evening menu or late-day retail category without duplicating an existing SKU. Organic chamomile and lavender with melatonin and L-Theanine. Fits dinner service, restaurant beverage menus, and retail wellness sets.
Cafes that serve tea consistently grow tea sales fastest. Four brewing standards to bake into staff training, menu design, and the pour-over station:
Black blends want water just off the boil, roughly 200 to 210°F. Green blends prefer a shorter cool-down to 175 to 185°F. Standardize the temperature by tea type and every cup lands consistent across shifts.
Set the timer based on the base tea, not the flavor. Black blends peak at four to five minutes, greens at three to four. Under-steeping is the most common wholesale complaint, and the fix is a two-dollar timer.
Every blend in the wholesale range works cold-brewed. Portion the leaves into cold water, refrigerate overnight, strain in the morning. Pomegranate Mojito and Superberry Samba lead this category for cafes running a summer program.
Spicy Masala Chai holds up in oat, whole, and non-dairy milks equally well, thanks to the black tea base. Steep at full strength, then combine with steamed milk at a two-to-one ratio for a proper chai latte. Cinnamon Apple works the same way for a dessert-forward option.
Because your wholesale loose leaf tea has to sell through your shelf, not just look good on the sell sheet.
135-150mg of natural caffeine per cup is a story customers respond to immediately. Wholesale accounts consistently report Zest teas convert coffee drinkers who didn't think tea could deliver on energy.
Best New Product at the World Tea Expo in 2015, top 10 seller on Amazon in the category, and a base of thousands of five-star reviews on the retail side. The credibility carries into wholesale conversations.
Non-GMO certified across the range, plant-powered, no artificial flavors, no synthetic caffeine. The ingredient list is short by design, which matters for retailers whose customers read labels.
Wholesale accounts get access to product photography, marketing collateral, and staff training materials on request. The support is designed to make the tea easier to sell, not just easier to stock.
Standing accounts ship on predictable cadences from a domestic warehouse. Reorder lead times are dialed in for the categories Zest serves.
Every wholesale loose leaf blend is also available in retail-format pyramid tea bags for accounts wanting to run both. Same ingredients, same ratios, buyer choice on format.
