JUNI is bringing a lighter, feel-good sip to the shelf with zero sugar, just 5 calories, and its 'Super-5' blend of [adaptogens and functional mushrooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muush). The organic sparkling tea brand is now in Walmart's new 'Mood & Mind' set, giving the label a mainstream home for drinks built around mood and focus.

The lineup comes in 12-ounce single cans and four-packs, with 'Peach' and 'Strawberry Hibiscus' among the flavors. Walmart.com also carries 12-packs and a 'Lemonade Variety Pack,' so shoppers can grab one can for a quick reset or stock up for the week.

Nearly 1,000 Walmart stores and the dedicated [Mood & Mind set](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recess-mood) turn functional tea into a mass-market grocery buy rather than a niche wellness find. That placement also gives the brand a clearer stage for its [zero-sugar, low-calorie pitch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pulmuone-green-juice) as more beverage brands chase the same better-for-you moment.
