Bottled tea company introduces organic stevia-sweetened drink

Organic tea company Honest Tea has become the latest company to introduce a stevia-sweetened beverage on the US market.

The drink is a ready-to-drink passionfruit green tea with maqui berry, containing zero calories,

The company’s president Seth Goldman said: “This drink took longer than usual to develop. We’ve been working with stevia leaves for years. First it wasn’t allowed as an ingredient in beverages, and then once it gained FDA approval, it was hard to formulate a drink that met our goals for taste and function. But after a lot of hard work, we’ve surprised ourselves with how delicious it tastes.”
