I sell around 2K to 3K packaged non-alcohol drinks on average per week. Of those, around 12-15% are some sort of tea drink. Some are carbonated, other just tea. Of course that includes Arnold Palmer, Lipton, Peace Tea, and energy drink "tea" such as Bang.
Hot teas are more popular in the winter than now. The most popular are Tazo, Twining, Stash, and The Republic of Tea. I also carry some Japanese green tea "Genmai Cha". The least popular are Bigelow and Lipton. I don't follow the standard planogram for any gas station. I carry unique items based on customer requests and actively obtained feedback.
My personal favorite hot teas are loose leaf teas from Teazer's. Moroccan Mint with a bit of milk and sugar. Tea sales really spiked in 2019. People are more into CBD now. Maybe a CBD tea will come out next.
