LOS ANGELES, March 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Zevia, the leading zero-calorie, naturally sweetened beverage company, today announced Zevia Organic Tea, a line of eight Ready-To-Drink (RTD) Tea flavors. Like all Zevia products, these items are zero calories, naturally sweetened with stevia, and contain zero sugar. In addition, Zevia Organic Teas are non-carbonated, non-GMO, brewed with Fair Trade Certified Tea, and will carry the USDA Organic seal. The flavors include Black Tea, Green Tea and herbal flavors, featuring two caffeine-free options.

With this announcement, Zevia's product lines encompass a broad range of Liquid Refreshment Beverage (LRB) categories, including Soda, Energy drinks, Sparkling Water, Mixers and now RTD Tea. With simple, plant-based ingredients and products for every family member and usage occasion, Zevia has become a favorite among shoppers seeking better-for-you alternatives to sugary and artificially sweetened beverages.

"Sugar reduction has rapidly become the #1 consumer concern, with 84% of US shoppers seeking to reduce their sugar intake," said Zevia CEO Paddy Spence. "Zevia was the first zero-calorie, naturally sweetened beverage brand, and we're continuing to build on our leadership with great-tasting new products to support a low-sugar lifestyle."

Spence added that with almost half of added sugar coming from beverages, Zevia provides an easy way for consumers to kickstart a sugar reduction program.

Zevia Tea will be sold in 12 oz. sleek cans with a suggested retail price of $1.99 each, available nationwide in late summer 2018. The new product line will make its public debut this month at the Natural Products Expo West in Anaheim, Calif.
