Atlanta-based Coca-Cola North America launches Nestea Red Tea Pomegranate Passion Fruit, the first national ready-to-drink tea brand made with the tea leaves of the South African Rooibos plant, valued for generations as a source of antioxidants. Red Tea is also naturally caffeine-free, uses no artificial colors, contains only 50 calories per 8 fl. oz. serving, and is made with all-natural fruit flavors for immediate revitalizing refreshment.

“Red Tea Pomegranate Passion Fruit is perfect for iced tea lovers seeking an exotic taste that delivers the natural goodness and antioxidants of red tea,” says Penny McIntyre, senior vice president and general manager of Water, Tea and Coffee for Coca-Cola North America. “Nestea is committed to offering delicious, simple blends of tea and we are delighted to provide now an even wider variety of revitalizing tea infused with all-natural fruit flavors.”

Nestea is available in straight-wall 20-oz PET bottles and 12-packs of 16.9-oz PET bottles.
