Peppermint & Chamomile — Key Ingredients for RTD Tea Startups

How peppermint and chamomile drive the U.S. ready-to-drink tea market.

Peppermint and chamomile are cornerstone ingredients in the U.S. RTD tea market. Peppermint delivers a refreshing menthol profile, while chamomile provides calming floral notes that consumers recognize.

Startups entering the functional tea space require consistent cut sizes, aroma stability, and COA-verified safety. Egypt is a global leader in both peppermint and chamomile cultivation, making it a reliable source for beverage innovators.

Planet Earth Treasures provides importer-managed supply with flexible minimum order quantities (25–100 kg bulk, semi-bulk coming soon), enabling startups to launch and scale with confidence.
