We had Triplets!

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???
Sweet Leaf Tea's New Flavors: Citrus Green Tea, Lemon Iced Tea and Diet Citrus Green Tea!
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.)
Citrus Green and Lemon Iced Tea come in our new cans too!
More on Citrus Green’s siblings, Lemon and Diet Citrus, next week!
Mint & Honey. The Miracle Drink!

Pssttt. Hey. Hey You. Have you heard about this amazing, tasty beverage called Mint & Honey Green Tea? HAVE YOU?
Well, if you have or haven’t, you are about to get an ear (or eye) full!
One of my favorite teas that we here at Sweet Leaf Tea make is our Mint & Honey Green Tea.
Beverage Specifications:
Flavor: Light green tea infused with spearmint.
Sweetener: As with all of our regular teas, we use pure organic cane sugar. This tea is also partially sweetened with organic honey. (This drives Winne the Pooh CRAZY!)
Tea Leaf: These tasty tea leaves come to us straight from central China.
Vitamins: This tea is PACKED with 100% Vitamin C. Great during the cold and flu season!
Antioxidants: Loaded with 90mg of EGCG, it has more antioxidants than any other bottled green tea on the market. NOW AIN’T THAT SOMETHING? EGCG is a chemical antioxidant in green tea. It has been connected with positive treatments of brain, prostate, cervical, and bladder cancers. It is also effective in preventing and destroying amyloids, which are involved in fatal brain disorders such as Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s, and Parkinson’s diseases. (see reference HERE)
After reading the facts and specs above, you may be asking yourself, “How can I consume this wonderful beverage?”
GREAT Question! SEE BELOW:
Ways to drink Sweet Leaf Tea’s Mint & Honey Green Tea
1. Out of a cold Glass Bottle/Plastic Bottle/Can!
2. Over ICE!
3. Mixed with some Tito’s Vodka!
4. WARM! Wait… Really? You could HEAT up something out of a b-o-t-t-l-e and DRINK it WARM! Yes. A little known fact about this drink warm….it’s delicious. Say you wake up and have a scratchy throat. Grab a bottle/can of Mint & Honey and pour it into a 8 oz mug. Place in the microwave for a minute and fifteen. Take out (be careful, contents may be HOT and fantastic). Enjoy! Once this miracle elixir is warm, it can be rather soothing (and charming). The heat releases the aromatic traits of the spearmint for a calming, smooth, uplifting experience sure to knock out your throat aliment in a FLASH!
So now that you know the facts, stories, and virtues of this great drink, feel pride when you run to your local Whole Foods to pick up a bottle (or 12 :] ).
