Ryl Tea's Rocket Pop Flavor Celebrate's Summer and Supports Veterans
Georgia Wray Norsten — May 9, 2025 — Social Good
Ryl Tea is embracing nostalgia with purpose in its latest limited-edition launch: 'Rocket Pop,' a red, white, and blue iced tea that reimagines the beloved childhood popsicle with a better-for-you twist. This summer-ready flavor blends cherry, citrus, and blue raspberry with real brewed tea and an Antioxidant Superblend -- offering zero sugar, just five calories, and functional health benefits in every sip.
The Rocket Pop release also carries deeper meaning. In honor of Military Appreciation Month, Ryl Tea is donating $100,000 to Wounded Warrior Project®, supporting post-9/11 wounded veterans and their families. Each can prominently features the WWP logo as a tribute to those who serve.
Launched nationwide and available at major retailers including Walmart, Kroger, Walgreens, and Amazon, the release is part of Ryl Tea’s expanding mission to transform hydration through clean, functional, and flavor-forward products.
