Brew blends
Tea is also being incorporated into sparkling beverages, energy
drinks and juices. The blends impart tea's health benefits with energy
ingredients, carbonation and flavors that may have a wider appeal to
younger adults, Packaged Facts said.
New sparkling tea crossovers are serving as
soda alternatives, such as Sound Sparkling Tea,
which comes in five varieties. From Starbucks'
brand Teavana comes Sparkling Craft Iced Tea
in blackberry lime green tea and peach nectarine green tea. Unilever PLC's Lipton brand also
offers sparkling iced tea in several flavors.
Tea enters the energy drink space with
added stimulants such as guayusa, green
tea, matcha and yerba mate. For example,
Guayki organic iced tea is infused with yerba mate and comes in an array of flavors,
including elderberry and ginger-sage.
Danone's STOK brand has added a new
range of cold-brewed teas, STOK Yerba
Mate Cold Brew Teas, which contain 75%
more caffeine than typical ready-to-drink
iced teas, according to the company.

New tea blends include (from left) Danone's
STOK brand Yerba Mate Cold Brew Teas, to
complement its cold brew coffees; Teavana
(Starbucks) Sparkling Craft Iced Tea in two
flavors combining fruit and green tea; Unilever
PLC Lipton Sparkling Iced Tea in five flavors
including peach and raspberry; and Guayaki
iced tea, which is infused with an
added stimulant, yerba mate.

Clean caffeine
Energy and sports drinks formulated with natural
caffeine sources also are on the rise.
"Coffee and tea are naturally energizing,"
Packaged Facts said. "And indeed, most Americans
would consider these beverages their original energy
drink...More recently, entrepreneurs have launched
coffee- and tea-based beverages that more clearly
play upon their energy functionality."
Energy drink brand Runa derives what it calls
its "clean energy" from the guayusa leaf. In the
energy shot category, 5-Hour Energy has introduced shots made with green tea to appeal to the
health-conscious.
Phocus sparkling waters contain 75 milligrams
of caffeine from green tea in each can, along with
L-theanine, an amino acid. Phocus promotes "clean
energy," which is trending, Packaged Facts said,
and sets itself apart from traditional energy drinks by
claiming the boost of caffeine, "without the crash."

Energy functionality is highlighted by beverages such as
(from left) Phocus sparkling waters, which contain green
tea as well as L-theanine; 5-Hour Energy's 5-Hour Tea
Shots made with green tea to appeal to more healthconscious users; and Runa Clean Energy drinks, which
offer a natural source of caffeine from the guayasa leaf.
