AriZona’s newest ‘Red Tea’ comes in the form of a 20-ounce tallboy that pays homage to the national drink of South Africa by bringing it overseas to North America. Rooibos tea has seen a dramatic increase in popularity, and AriZona is dedicated to celebrating the debut of the new beverage as well as its rich African heritage with a charitable initiative. AriZona has recently partnered up with The Long Walk to Freedom Foundation to pass on Nelson Mandela's message.
A percentage of every ‘Red Tea’ sale will fund educational resources for children in literacy programs, whether digital or physical. AriZona's ‘Red Tea’ is available for $1 at local convenience stores, gas stations, bodegas, delis, and other AriZona distributors. It is also being sold as a 12-pack for $22.99 through AriZona’s website.
