Republic of Tea and LUNA Collaborate to Develop Iced Tea for Women

23/02/07 Two San Francisco Bay Area brands -- The Republic of Tea and LUNA -- collaborate to create the first line of organic bottled Nutritional Iced Tea For Women.

Nutritional Iced Tea For Women is brewed from the finest organic tea, has just 50 calories per 12-ounce bottle, is made with 70 percent organic ingredients and is all natural (no preservatives). It includes many of the essential nutrients women need everyday for overall health and wellness including folate, calcium and vitamin D, together with the reported values of tea itself.

Nutritional Iced Teas for Women benefits include:

Vitamin B folate: Vitamin B folate (folic acid in fortified foods) helps women of childbearing age reduce the risks of birth defects. It may also lower heart disease and dementia risks.

Calcium: Calcium is an important component of a healthy diet, essential for strong bones and teeth. Calcium requirements must be met throughout a women’s life.

Vitamin D: Vitamin D promotes absorption of calcium and may also have cancer-fighting qualities.

Further, on-going research suggests tea contains anti-oxidant properties can help protect against a range of cancers. Research also suggests tea can increase endurance during exercise by improving fat metabolism and may help the body's immune system response and boost mental alertness.

Nutritional Iced Teas for Women includes the finest organic black, green, white, red and decaf black teas, expertly blended with vitamins, minerals and a touch of organic evaporated cane juice and comes in five original ready-to-drink flavors: Ginger Currant Black Tea, Lemon Blueberry Decaf Black Tea, Kiwi Strawberry Green Tea, Mandarin Orange White Tea and naturally-caffeine-free Cherry Vanilla Red Tea.

Available March 5, 2007, Nutritional Iced Tea For Women has a suggested retail price of $2.99 per 12 fluid-ounce bottle.

The ideal complement to Nutritional Iced Tea For Women is a line of LUNA Tea Cakes, also made with The Republic of Tea’s collection of premium teas and herbs. They are available in three delicious varieties: Vanilla Macadamia for mood balance, Orange Blossom for healthy skin and Berry Pomegranate for longevity. Together, a perfect treat anytime of day. This partnership marks an extension of both brands’ line of products that benefit and nourish the specific needs of today’s on-the-go women.
