Wholesale freeze-dried kumquat passion fruit tea delivers a shelf-stable, clean-label instant beverage format designed for cafés, retail brands, and hospitality buyers who want a refreshing tropical SKU without cold-chain complexity. Made from real kumquat, passionfruit and lemon pieces, these compact cubes dissolve fast for hot or cold service and keep the bright citrus–tropical flavor profile that consumers expect.
Use cases: single-serve retail sachets for supermarket shelves, café single-serve pitchers, or premium corporate gifting packs. The cubes work equally well as a ready drink or as an ingredient (mocktails, iced tea blends, RTD prototypes). This format reduces on-premise prep time while increasing SKU appeal for health-and-wellness shoppers.

Buyer tip: Request a 1–2 sample blends (cold and hot brew) to validate sweetness level and aroma intensity for your target market before finalizing label claims.
Q1 — Can we order private-label blends and change sweetness or fiber content?
Yes. OEM/private-label services include formula tweaks (sweetness, honey vs. sugar, fruit ratio), cube size, and label/packaging customization to meet target shelf positioning.
Q2 — Do you provide samples and how are sample costs handled?
Samples are available on request; buyers typically cover express freight. Sample fees are commonly credited against the first bulk order. Lead time for samples depends on stock and customization but is usually within 7–15 days.
Q3 — What export documents and certifications come with shipments?
Shipments include COA, packing list, commercial invoice and origin docs. The factory holds HACCP, ISO22000, and can supply FDA, Halal and Kosher documentation for targeted markets.
Q4 — Which trade terms (FOB / CIF) and shipping methods are supported?
MerryTime supports FOB and CIF, plus airfreight for urgent orders. For launches, mixed-SKU LCL is available to reduce initial inventory risk.
Q5 — What are typical microbiological limits and heavy-metal compliance?
Micro limits are maintained to export norms (e.g., TPC and Salmonella absent). Heavy-metals comply with EU & FDA thresholds; COAs are available per batch.
Q6 — How should resellers present this SKU to consumers?
Emphasize “real fruit,” “no preservatives,” vitamin C content, and versatility (hot or iced). Suggest cross-sell with cold brew kits and café limited-time summer menus to drive trial.
MerryTime offers end-to-end support for beverage launches: in-house R&D to tune fruit ratios and aroma intensity, flexible packaging engineering (sachets, pouches, gift tins), multilingual labeling and full export documentation to ease customs clearance. Because the factory carries global certifications and maintains consistent production moisture and solubility specs, buyers get dependable quality at scale — ideal for rapid category entry or seasonal promotions.
