HTeaO, the nation’s leading iced tea franchise, is expanding its beverage portfolio with the launch of HTeaO Refreshers—a new line of fruit-forward, naturally energizing drinks designed to broaden the brand’s appeal beyond traditional tea offerings. Rolling out across all locations on April 11, the Refreshers combine Monin Glacier Clear, premium fruit syrups, and a splash of lemonade, with select flavors also incorporating HTeaO’s signature brewed tea.
Standout offerings include The Razzler (blue raspberry and lemonade), Mango Tango (pineapple, mango tea, and lemonade), and Cherry Peach Tea Lemonade (cucumber, stone fruit, peach tea, and lime). This launch marks a strategic move to meet growing consumer demand for flavorful, functional beverages while reinforcing HTeaO’s position as a leader in refreshment innovation.
