AriZona Beverages is excited to launch Red Tea in 20oz tall boys, bringing the national drink of South Africa to the mainstream market in the United States. AriZona Red Tea is naturally caffeine free, made with real sugar, and only 70 calories per serving. Rooibos tea’s popularity in the US has increased over the last decade, and was named as one of the healthiest foods of all time.
Native to South Africa, Rooibos is made from the needles of an indigenous bush and is a mild tea with deeply red hues. Made with only four ingredients, AriZona Red Tea will take imbibers on a trip to the Cederberg Mountains of South Africa, where Rooibos is grown.
To honor Rooibos tea’s South African heritage, AriZona has partnered with The Long Walk to Freedom Foundation to celebrate their efforts and to continue the message of the great Nelson Mandela. A portion of each Red Tea sold will go toward the Mandela Education program, an extension of Mr. Mandela’s desire to use children’s literacy to liberate the mind and free the next generation of poverty.
“The Long walk to freedom Brand has chosen to continue our grandfather’s work through the Mandela Education Program that focuses on school children with an emphasis on literacy both physical and digital,” said HRH Princess Swati Dlamini-Mandela.
The project started back in 2007 and continues to this day with more than 200,000 children in the literacy focus daily. “The aim is to reach 2 million children daily, so we have a way to go yet,” said HRH Princess Zaziwe Dlamini-Manaway.
AriZona’s Red Tea is offered in 20 oz. Tall Boys with a suggested retail value of $1.00 for a single bottle at local convenience stores, gas stations, bodegas, delis and wherever AriZona is sold or $22.99 a 12 pack for direct-to-door delivery one DrinkAriZona.com.
