The HTeaO Sweet Cherry Iced Tea is making its way to participating locations just in time for summer as a refreshing, customer-driven drink perfect for enjoyment in the heat.
The drink balances an iced tea flavor with a burst of sweet cherry, which work together to achieve a sweet, layered taste experience. The drink is being offered by the cup, half-gallon or gallon to accommodate single-serve enjoyment or multi-serve experiences. Customers can pick up the drink starting June 1, but it will only be on the menu through July 31, 2025.

It’s got the craveable cherry taste people love, it’s completely caffeine-free, and it’s everything you want in a refreshing summer drink. We can’t wait for guests to try it.”
