The time has come once again for Women’s Health Magazine to choose their 125 Best Packaged Foods. If you had to guess what beverages and foods made the list how many do you think you could name? I bet you could guess at least one beverage that deserves that kind of mention…

Sweet Leaf Tea has won the honor of being included in Women’s Health Magazine Best Packaged Foods! We are so thrilled that our All-Natural Lemon & Lime Unsweetened Tea was chosen because it’s not only delicious, but it’s calorie-free, healthy and made with care. It has all the makings of a true winner!

I think the people at Women’s Health Magazine said it best, “Kicking sugar doesn’t mean boring your taste buds to death.” If you haven’t tried this flavor yet, be sure to keep an eye out for it. Most people spot it at natural food stores like Whole Foods, Sprouts, Central Market and the like.

Look us up in this month’s issue of Women’s Health Magazine, or check out their website at: http://www.womenshealthmag.com/nutrition/best-soft-drinks-0

Every year SELF Magazine assembles a list of all their favorite healthy foods that are as good for you as they are tasty, and guess who made the cut this year? WE DID! That’s right, yours truly, Sweet Leaf Tea, beat out a handful of other tea beverage competitors and was named the Best Bottled Iced Tea for our delicious, all-natural Lemon & Lime Unsweet Tea.

In addition to drinks, categories for the awards also included meals, snacks , desserts and more. All drinks were graded on healthy attributes like antioxidant, vitamin, fiber and calcium content, as well as overall taste.

So why did we win, you ask? Well the wonderful people over at SELF said Sweet Leaf Tea “reminds them of sweet tea in the South” … Austin, TX to be exact.

So there you have it, Sweet Leaf Tea not only tastes good but it’s also good for you!

We wanted to let you in on a bit of news. As of this week, we have a new CEO at Sweet Leaf Tea. This does of course mean that Clayton Christopher, one of our founders, is stepping down as CEO, but not to worry…Clayton will still be a part of the company as he takes a place on our board. He has put his heart, sweat and as we all know, Granny’s recipe, into building the Sweet Leaf Tea brand—and thank goodness for that! But, as any entrepreneur knows, there comes a time when one must take a break and catch his (in this case) breath. For all of us here in Austin, this just means we’ll be spotting Clayton a bit more on Town Lake or Barton Springs this summer. (You can still follow him on Twitter @Idea_Clayton to see where the open road takes him on his travels.)

So, who is our new CEO? Well, we didn’t have to look too far for him. Dan Costello has been a part of the tea’m for over a year. And this certainly isn’t his first rodeo. He’s bringing years of beverage experience with him. Something we all believe will come in handy.

In fact, I can officially report that we, the tea’mates and dogs of Sweet Leaf Tea, have taking a liking to Dan. He survived the muddiest of ACL’s this year with a smile, he likes to jam out in the car, and he’s even worn flip-flops to the office (at least once!). But most importantly, he’s been leading the charge to get Sweet Leaf Tea closer to you. We are very proud to have him in the Sweet Leaf Tea family and expect great things for the future.

It’s an exciting time here at Sweet Leaf Tea HQ, and we’re glad you’re a part of it! We’ve got a lot of cool things in the works. From new flavors to new packages and upcoming contests….yes, the sweetest is yet to come.

Thanks for being a fan!

Yes, that’s right!  Sweet Leaf Tea has just had triplets!  No, Granny’s not having babies—she’s just too old for that.  (No offense, Granny.)

What I mean is, we’ve just welcomed three new family members to our flavor line-up!  Introducing “Lemon Iced Tea,” “Citrus Green Tea,” and “Diet Citrus Green Tea.”  Aren’t they cute???

Let me back up.  I’m Megan, the Innovation Manager here at Sweet Leaf Tea.  And to be honest, I’m usually too buried in spreadsheets to do anything else. (What? We have a blog??)  But as it turns out, those spreadsheets told me that we were missing some of the most popular flavors on the market!  Thus the birth of Lemon, Citrus, and Diet Citrus.

Citrus Green Tea is already a major hit around here.  We brought it into the office on Friday for the first time, and all the cans were immediately drunk, taken home, or stashed in a secret hiding place.  (Don’t worry guys—we’ll get more.)

More on Citrus Green’s siblings, Lemon and Diet Citrus, next week!

Yes, you might have heard us chatting up the fact that our new cans are available at  7-Eleven stores in Austin and Phoenix. We even had a Twitter contest to see who could find the new cans first. (@sugarrob, you are super quick on the draw!) As the news of these fancy new cans spread, we had several Tweeps and FB fans asking, “Where can I find those cans?”

Well, I finally have an answer. At least for some of you…

As of last week, we found out that our cans will now be available in 935 7-Eleven stores in Texas, Utah, Colorado, Las Vegas and Arizona. That’s a whole lot of sweet goodness spreading across the states and a whole lot of opportunities for y’all to get your hands on those cans. Think of all the road trips you’ll now be able to go on knowing that  Sweet Leaf Tea will be available along the route to keep you fueled for your journey. Oh, yes. Indeed, thank heaven for 7-Eleven.

Now for the rest of you who are still looking to find Sweet Leaf Tea cans at your local convenience store, I have a pretty good solution. Just click on the request form here and remember cans come in four delicious flavors (Original, Mint & Honey, Peach and Raspberry)…as of right now.
