Sweetened Black Tea Beverages

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Trader Joe's Just Added a New Sweet Tea Beverage

— October 30, 2024 — Lifestyle
You can now enjoy sweet tea by the gallon with the launch of Trader Joe's new Sweet Tea Beverage.

If you're unfamiliar with the iconic drink, sweetened iced tea is a staple of the Southern U.S. states. The simple, but delicious recipe involves stirring sugar into hot tea at the time it is brewed, and then chilling the whole thing so the sugar is perfectly dissolved into the refreshing beverage.

Trader Joe's new Sweet Tea Beverage builds on this classic recipe by kettle-brewing whole black tea leaves and then adding cane sugar as the sweetener. The result is described by the grocer as "a sweet, mellow flavor" that "offers hints of toasted tea notes, while its warm caramel hue brilliantly sparkles in a tall tea tumbler."
