One of the newest Teavana Sparkling Craft Iced Teas to be introduced is the Sparkling Blood Orange Mango White Tea, which is available in a ready-to-drink format. The tea is made with botanical ingredients, no artificial flavors and is sweetened only with a hint of cane sugar.
The refreshing, sparkling craft iced tea beverage boasts a blend of white tea, orange peel and champagne mango and sets itself apart as one of the "first premium sparkling ready-to-drink iced tea beverages on the market," according to Starbucks.
As many consumers are looking for low-sugar refreshments, especially better-for-you options to summer classics like sugary lemonade drinks, this new citrus beverage has the potential to satisfy a desire for taste and texture without unnecessary additives.
