Not long after Sweet Leaf Tea launched it organic lemonade line in Spring 2007, its Organic Original Lemonade received the Silver Softi award in the Outstanding Cold Beverage category at the 2007 National Association of Specialty Foods Trade (NASFT) Fancy Food Show.
The "lemonade stand" line features three, fresh-squeezed, granny-inspired flavors, including Organic Original Lemonade, Organic Peach Lemonade and Organic Cherry Limeade, all available in keepsake, 16-ounce, glass mason jars. Each bottle of freshly made lemonade features real, organic lemon and lime juice, not made from concentrates.
"My grandmother, Mimi, used to make freshly-squeezed lemonade in the summertime and she'd frequently serve it in recycled Mason jars," says Clayton Christopher, founder of Sweet Leaf Tea. "So, packaging our lemonades in Mason jars just seemed like a natural fit."
The lemonade line is the first departure Sweet Leaf has made from its line of all-natural iced teas, which includes 10 flavors: Organic Original Sweet Tea, Organic Mint and Honey Green Tea, Diet Mint and Honey Green Tea, Organic Peach Sweet Tea, Diet Peach Tea, Diet Original Tea, Unsweet Lemon Lime Tea, Raspberry Sweet Tea, Organic Hibiscus Herbal Tea and Organic Half and Half Lemonade Tea. |
