Freshdi Market Insight
Make smarter Iced Tea sourcing decisions with real market data
Germany and the United States each hold 15.4% of the 13 Iced Tea suppliers, with Australia at 7.7%, so sourcing options are concentrated in a few high-volume regions. The typical range is USD 1,196 - 3,950 per metric ton FOB, centered at a USD 2,303 median. Buyers request FOB more often than suppliers offer it — a 15.2 percentage point gap — so buyers must explicitly ask for FOB pricing to avoid misalignment.

11origins
Freshdi Iced Tea suppliers come from 11 countries, led by Germany at 15.4%, as of 31 October 2026.
Only 13 suppliers are currently active in the Iced Tea category, and just 2 of them updated their listings in the last 30 days — though 4 did in the past 90. This means the supply is stable but not dynamic, so buyers should treat each supplier as a one-off opportunity rather than a long-term option. With few suppliers updating, it's likely that inventory or pricing changes are slow to reflect, so buyers should verify current terms directly. There are 40 active listings for Iced Tea, offering a range of flavors, pack sizes, and formulations. While not a massive catalog, it’s enough to find a close match for most standard needs without needing to start from scratch with a custom request. The presence of this many listings suggests suppliers are maintaining a consistent flow of inventory, even if updates are infrequent. Suppliers come from 11 different countries, with Germany making up just 15.4% of the total. This broad geographic spread means buyers aren’t limited to one region’s supply chain — they can explore alternatives based on cost, certification, or specific flavor profiles. For those seeking flexibility in sourcing, the diversity of origins provides a solid foundation to compare options.

How stable is this supply base?
Three separate questions, answered in order: is the product fresh, is the market busy, and can the sellers be trusted.
Is there much new product?
Is the market busy?
2 of the 13 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, a mix of long-standing and new suppliers. The pool includes sellers with established listing records and a smaller group of newer entries. That means buyers have access to both familiar names and fresh options, but the newer ones have less history to evaluate. Check listing history before reaching out to a new supplier.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Iced Tea listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 25 October 2026 - 40 active listings, 2 buyer requests, 73 source documents, and 530 supply observations from the last 90 days. External export benchmarks are cited separately and never mixed into Freshdi figures.
Price and MOQ ranges are the interquartile range - the middle half of quotes, a quarter below and a quarter above - with the median reported alongside. A Iced Tea type is priced only once it holds at least 5% of supply price quotes and 3 priced listings with a real range; below that it is not listed. Buyer prices are compared only once there are at least 5 of them.
All prices are FOB, in USD per metric ton; quotes on other Incoterms are converted to a FOB equivalent. Freshdi does not hold a CIF price series for Iced Tea, so no landed-cost comparison is possible from this data.
Demand-versus-supply differences in trade and payment term shares are stated in percentage points, and origin rows add buyer requests per listing. Each figure carries its market scope - global - beside the number rather than in a footnote.
Product freshness counts listings created or updated. Supplier activity counts sellers by their last update. The two are different measurements and will not agree.
