First Watch Launched a Comforting Tea and Juice Hybrid for the Fall

— September 10, 2017 — Lifestyle
Restaurant chain First Watch recently launched its seasonal fall 2017 menu, which includes a few breakfast items, a squash bisque and a unique hybrid tea and juice beverage. The Carrot Ginger Chai is a blend of aromatically spiced chai tea, plus zesty ginger and carrots, which give the beverage a distinct orange hue.

The juice-tea hybrid is a new addition to First Watch's Fresh Juice Bar and has the potential to bridge the gap between the seasons, offering the same kind of refreshment as a freshly pressed juice, as well as the comfort of a tea beverage.

Although there are many food and beverage products that are being launched with spiced pumpkin flavors expressly for the fall season, this one offers a refreshing alternative.
