New Iced Teas Designed for Women!

I get two cups of green tea a day without fail (this was one of the best things I did for myself in 2006). I've blogged plenty about tea so you probably already knew that.

Well, some people are "hot" tea people and some people are "cold" tea people, (I'm both by the way), and we are about to enter the "cold" tea season. The weather is starting to show signs of spring, (at least in my part of the country), which means summer is right around the corner.

You might notice this spring/summer that there is a new line of bottled iced teas. The bottles come in pretty colors and the labels are nicely decorated; well designed to appeal to the female gender. The Ministers at The Republic of Tea put their heads together with the folks from LUNA (you know, Luna bars made for women?) and they created a line of iced tea for women.

Folic acid, calcium, and vitamin D are the three key nutrients added to the iced teas. What you won't find added are any alternative or artificial sweeteners. They kept the calories to 50 per 12 ounce bottle using organic evaporated cane juice. Each bottle has 12 grams of carbohydrate, which includes 10 grams of sugar. Each bottle gives you 15% of the Daily Value for calcium, 10% vitamin D, and 35% folic acid. They come in all sorts of interesting flavors but my personal favorite is the Ginger Currant Black Tea.

Since these bottled teas can cost a pretty penny (or two or three), you might want to stick to drinking your homemade tea most of the time and keep these bottled beverages for when you are buying your drink out or when you need to grab your iced tea and go!

These new bottled Luna Teas for Women will be available at specialty and gourmet markets (like Central Market in Texas) nationwide by mid-March.
