For the past few years, we’ve predicted what the upcoming year’s tea trends will be. And every year, we’re just about right! To help you navigate Royal Tea New York’s 10th anniversary sale, we’ve outlined the best teas to buy based on 2026 trends.

Best Teas to Buy during Our Anniversary Sale

Buy Chocolate Banana Rooibos from Royal Tea New York

Chocolate Banana Rooibos

We’re convinced the banana trend is here to stay. Chocolate Banana Rooibos can satisfy anyone’s sweet tooth and will be a delight as we transition into cooler weather. Not only is it a great standalone option, but pairing it with dairy or oat milk for a tea latte brings out even more of that dessert-like feel.

Creamsicle Oolong from Royal Tea New York

Creamsicle Oolong

Our newest launch has proven to be a popular choice for summer menus. Creamsicle Oolong works great with honey when brewed hot and is perfectly paired with simple syrup when brewed cold. We even put it on nitro tap in our office for an extra creamy finish!

Buy Jasmine Pearls from Royal Tea New York

Jasmine Pearls

These hand-rolled Chinese green tea pearls have been scented several times with fresh jasmine blossoms. The end result is a smooth, floral flavor, great for spring and summer. This is a specialty tea that truly stands out on a menu, offering a social media-worthy presentation due to their unique shape.

Best Botanicals to Buy from Royal Tea New York

Red Rose Petals & Butterfly Pea Flower

These two botanicals are incredibly versatile. For instance, you can incorporate them with your own tea blends to add a pop of color, or you can use them as ingredients for syrups, lemonades, cold foams, etc. Plus, butterfly pea flower’s color-changing properties will capture customers’ attention, transforming their café beverages from blue to pink!

Savannah Sunrise

This fruity black tea blend is great on ice. With notes of peach, cranberry, and orange, Savannah Sunrise strikes the right balance of refreshing and energizing. Its caffeine level is perfect for those who want an offering that’s mellower than something hibiscus-based.

White Peach from Royal Tea New York

White Peach

Are you looking to add white tea to your menu without breaking the bank? Then try White Peach! While it’s mellow, this blend is still fruity and flavorful with a well-rounded body. White Peach makes for a refreshing summer iced tea, but it also transitions well into the cooler months when prepared hot.
