Revolution Tea Extends Distribution Partnership with S&D Coffee, Inc.

12/03/07 Revolution Tea, the innovative company responsible for creating the first gourmet liquid concentrate beverage program in the United States, announced that it has entered a national sales and distribution partnership with S&D Coffee, Inc.

As a part of the partnership, S&D Coffee, a national manufacturer of coffee, iced and hot tea products for the foodservice, quick service, hospitality and convenience store industries, will now offer Revolution Iced, a tea and herbal fruit liquid beverage program, which includes equipment, service, staff training and marketing support. The expanded relationship will expose Revolution's new alternative Iced beverages to a broader national audience.

"It was a natural fit to extend our existing service relationship with Revolution Tea," said Lee Wicker, senior vice president, Specialty Coffee Division of S&D Coffee. "Revolution and S&D Coffee are both quality-driven companies. We look forward to introducing this exciting profit-generating line to our customers."

Revolution Tea's four Iced products -- Red Hawaiian Iced, Emerald Green Iced, Rev Blend Iced and Golden Peach Iced -- use an on-demand brewing system to blend real herbs, fruit and tea, which enables every glass to be served fresh. This new product line -- the only one of its kind in the U.S. -- eliminates any leftover waste associated with conventional iced tea brewing equipment.

"Our partnership with S&D Coffee puts the Revolution Iced beverage program on the map with their established route and distribution network," said Larry DeAngelis, founder and CEO of Revolution Tea. "Our Revolution Iced beverage will help expand S&D's product portfolio as well as offer an alternative, low-calorie beverage option -- something the market's been demanding for some time."
