The combination of shifting U.S. cultural demographics caused by the growing Hispanic and Asian populations and younger consumers’ desire for flavorful foods and beverages has led to an increased interest in savory ingredients, including herbs and spices, according to Comax Flavors.

In contrast with last year’s indulgent flavor trends, beverages this year are shifting to reflect consumer interest in health and wellness.

Although flavor-of-the-month programs often can be found in ice cream shops, alcohol beverages might be taking a cue from the channel.

In March, Numi Organic Tea will launch Numi Savory Teas containing organic vegetables, wild herbs, decaf tea and spices.
