The pre-blended powders only need to be stirred into hot water to dissolve before being paired with cold water and/or ice for a chilled tea refreshment at leisure. The products are crafted with real fruit and tea extracts to prioritize high-quality flavor, but also to incorporate their benefits into the healthy lifestyle of consumers. Consumers in the UK can choose from three flavor options including Lemon, Peach & Mango and Classic Milk Tea.
