The brand has since announced the launch of the 'Raspberry Iced Tea' as its newest flavor following the 'Lemon,' 'Peach,' and 'Green Tea' iterations. All of Halfday's products are created using 8g of [prebiotic fiber](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prebiotic-sodas1), 3g of sugar, and the same delicious taste. Halfday 'Raspberry Iced Tea' will officially debut in April at [Wegmans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/culture-pop-soda-1), an American supermarket chain in the Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic regions. “We are so excited to be bringing Raspberry to Wegmans," said Kayvon Jahanbakhsh, co-founder of Halfday. “They’ve been such great partners to us, and have believed in our mission since Day 1. Wegmans is always on the forefront of trends, and they’re located in the backyard of where almost all major iced tea brands first launched."
