#1 Passionfruit


Passionfruit has been gaining popularity in recent years, not only in tea, but also in other popular beverage industries like hard seltzers, syrups and alcoholic beverages.

Datassential projected passionfruit will be featured in about 15% of U.S. menus in 2022 and the flavor has increased 20% in popularity over the past four years.


Passionfruit was named Monin’s 2022 Flavor of the Year because of its versatility, vibrant color, sweet and tart flavors, and its relaxing and tropical properties.



#2 Strawberry Guava


Strawberry Guava combines the familiar and nostalgic taste of juicy strawberries with the adventurous and tropical flavor of guava. It gives the consumer the best of both worlds.


This is one of our top selling tea flavors here at Flavor Waves and is growing in popularity year after year. Datassential reports that guava is currently found on 1.1% of U.S. menus, rising 45% in popularity over the past four years.

#3 Tangerine


Health and wellness are playing a huge part in beverage selections for 2022. Tangerines have an abundance of vitamin C packed with antioxidants and provide immunity support. A tangerine flavored tea imparts taste that is sweeter and more flavorful than a ripe orange and can be thought of as a healthier option for consumers looking for health and wellness benefits.
