Leading American tea company DAVIDsTEA has announced the launch of a new lineup of tea powders called 'Superfood Hot Chocolates.' The new offering includes three mixtures that contain real powdered teas, powerful superfood ingredients, and indulgent cocoa powder.
However, a definite standout amongst the trio is the brand's new 'Organic Loco Lucuma' tea as it utilizes a unique South American superfood ingredient (lucuma) that doubles as a healthy sugar alternative. The tea blends honey, lucuma, and hydrating rooibos to deliver a highly-indulgent blend that boasts one-of-a-kind earthy flavors.
"As we remain committed to promoting health and wellness throughout the products we offer, we wanted to make superfoods more accessible by making them easy to drink, taste great and functional," said Sarah Segal, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Brand Officer of DAVIDsTEA.
