Once again, Woodbury-based AriZona Beverages is introducing a beverage industry first. Defining a new category, AriZona Oak Reserve will be the first tea steeped with real American Oak to hit the market.
After a family trip to Napa where the Vultaggio’s toured wineries, the owners were fascinated by the Oak barrel aging process and wondered what that same process would bring to tea. The result: a refreshing new artisanal iced tea with the subtle complexity of a barrel-aged brew.
AriZona Oak Reserve is 100-percent natural, brewed with American Oak Chips and is available in three flavors: Unsweetened, Lightly Sweetened and Lemon. Unsweetened contains zero calories per serving and connoisseurs will love its sophisticated tea notes and smooth oaky finish. Lightly Sweetened and Lemon are only 30 calories per serving and contain a harmonious combination of subtle sweetness from honey, cane sugar and pure maple sugar.
Oak Reserve stays true to theme with a one-of-a-kind oak barrel inspired bottle. Attention to detail was priority; from the wood appearance down to the wax seal and small rivets along the bottle. The line will be available in the NY metro-area and will roll out nationally throughout the year. The suggested retail price is $1.75 – $2.00 per 20.5oz bottle.
