Fuze and Gold Peak expand product ranges
Fuze and Gold Peak brands, owned by Coca-Cola, are rolling out two new tea beverages each. Fuze will launch a raspberry flavored tea and an unsweetened version of green tea in December 2010. Gold Peak tea will have tropical and green tea flavors available in early 2011. Both additions, developed over a period of 6 moths, reflect high demand for tropical and raspberry flavors in foodservice, while green tea has seen a significant increase in popularity over the past two years because of its health benefits. According to Coca-Cola, as the fresh-brewed tea market continues to grow, operators are seeking new options to satisfy health-conscious customers with a variety of taste preferences.
