Spindrift Beverage Co., Inc., a beverage brand made with real squeezed fruit, launched Spindrift® Tea, a line of non-carbonated iced teas made with real brewed tea and real squeezed fruit. The launch extends Spindrift’s commitment to beverages made without ultra-processed shortcuts, and as the only beverage brand with the full portfolio verified under the Non-Ultraprocessed Food (Non-UPF) Standard.
While tea is one of the most consumed beverages in the world, much of the ready-to-drink aisle remains driven by sugars and non-sugar sweeteners, while products with real squeezed fruit account for less than 1 % of the category. By pairing real brewed tea and fruit, Spindrift sets a new standard for ready-to-drink tea delivering brighter flavour and a naturally balanced, easy-to-enjoy alternative to traditional sweet tea.
Spindrift Tea, the first release from the brand’s Ventures Lab, is the result of three years of development and brings together custom-brewed black and green tea blends with fruit sourced from trusted growing regions and long-standing farm partners:
- Lemon Black Tea – brewed black tea with California lemon juice and crisp apple
- Blood Orange Black Tea – black tea layered with vibrant blood orange and citrus notes
- Raspberry Black Tea – black tea blended with Pacific Northwest raspberries
- Peach Green Tea – green tea with sun-ripened Pacific Northwest peaches
To achieve the right balance between the tea and fruit, Spindrift partnered with one of North America’s largest leaf tea importers to develop custom black and green tea blends sourced from 16 global origins, including China, India, Indonesia, and Argentina. The proprietary blends were designed specifically to complement real fruit ensuring both ingredients shine in every sip. Select flavours include a small amount of organic agave for a naturally ‘slightly sweet’ taste.
Spindrift Tea is now available on Amazon and Drinkspindrift.com and launches in select retailers in the US beginning March 2026, with expanded distribution throughout the year. The line will be available in 12oz cans in 6-packs and variety packs.
