Arizona Iced Tea — Wholesale Supply

Arizona is the only iced tea in our range where the buyer's first question is not about flavour but about origin: is this stock EU-market product or a US import, and what does that do to my labelling? FMCG Depot supplies it wholesale from Belgium as part of our beverages wholesale catalogue — authentic product in original branded packaging, by the case, pallet or full container load.

A brand that trades on its packaging

The oversized 500ml and 680ml tall cans are the brand. The format is the reason it is bought, the reason it merchandises, and, in trade search, the literal unit buyers look for: a shopper recognises the artwork across the store, and a convenience retailer gets a facing that does its own promotion. Green tea with ginseng and honey, lemon, and the fruit blends — Mucho Mango, Kiwi Strawberry, raspberry, fruit punch — are the core movers, with PET bottles available where a grocery presentation is needed.

Buyers building around that standout usually want the rest of the container to earn its place too. Distributors supplying bars and hotels alongside retail add Schweppes wholesale supply for the on-trade side of the same order; where the customer base is hospitality-led, Evian wholesale supply covers the still-water listing that tends to sit next to it. For pure chiller volume, buyers most often compare and combine Arizona with Fanta wholesale supply on the carbonate side and Monster Energy wholesale supply where the impulse fixture leans younger. Those four ship on one booking, one set of documents and one freight cost.

• 500ml and 680ml tall cans — the signature impulse format
• PET bottles for grocery and multipack presentation
• Green tea with ginseng and honey, lemon, Mucho Mango, Kiwi Strawberry, raspberry
• Single-variant or mixed-flavour pallets built to your plan
• Case, pallet and full container load quantities on request

EU-market stock or US import: the distinction that changes your label

Arizona is an American brand with a European operation running alongside its US production, so the same brand can reach a buyer by two very different routes. It matters more than it sounds. Stock produced for the European market carries EU-compliant labelling and ingredient declaration and moves inside the customs union; stock brought in from the United States arrives as a third-country import, with its own duty treatment and a label written for a different regulatory regime, which frequently has to be over-stickered before it can be listed.

We supply EU-sourced product in original manufacturer packaging, and we tell you in writing which market version is being offered against the allocation available at the time of quotation. If your customer requires a specific language set on the label, or your broker needs a particular ingredient declaration to clear the goods, put that in the enquiry rather than discovering it at the port. Buyers who are consolidating a genuinely American assortment should say so as well — the sourcing route determines what we can and cannot offer for that part of the load.

Building a mixed-flavour load around the tall can

Arizona sells on breadth of flavour more than most tea brands, so a single-flavour pallet is rarely the right first order. The usual construction is single-flavour layers combined into a mixed pallet, weighted toward green tea and lemon with the fruit blends behind them, and adjusted after the first sell-through report. Case make-up, pallet configuration and pallets-per-40ft depend on the format and the allocation, so they are confirmed in writing on the pro-forma rather than quoted as a fixed number before we know what stock is available. Arizona also rounds out a set that would otherwise lean mainstream, which is why buyers run it beside Lipton Ice Tea and Fuze Tea.

Handling a still line inside a carbonated load

One non-obvious spec point: Arizona is not carbonated. A carbonated can carries internal pressure that stiffens the pack; a still tea does not, so the same case behaves differently under stacking load and through the temperature swings of a long sea leg. Where a container mixes still teas with CSD pallets we plan the stacking and wrapping accordingly, and the plan is agreed with you before the pro-forma is issued. Best-before dates and batch numbers are confirmed against the specific allocation before payment, so a buyer working to a minimum remaining-life threshold should state that threshold in the enquiry.

American drinks as a European demand pool

Arizona is very often bought by the same European buyer who is stocking US-style snacks and exotic soft-drink variants — the specialist import shelf, the urban convenience store, the student-district forecourt. If that is your customer, plan Arizona as part of that block rather than as a lone tea listing: the shopper who walks in for one American line buys three, and the fixture works far harder when the whole block travels on one container.

Quantities, documents and account set-up

Shipments move through Antwerp and Rotterdam on EXW, FOB, CIF or DAP terms, with EUR.1 movement certificates and Certificates of Origin where the destination qualifies, plus commercial invoice and packing list. Volumes run from case level for a first listing test through to full container load for recurring supply, with part-loads while the line is being proved, and our logistics team consolidates the mix so you are not freighting empty space. Buyers consolidating across categories can work from the full wholesale catalogue and put the whole basket on a single enquiry.
