Tazo introduces zero calorie RTD teas
Tazo Tea, owned by Starbucks, is expanding its bottled tea line with a new range of naturally sweetened zero calorie teas. The Zero Calorie Naturally Sweetened iced teas come in three varieties: Zen (lemongrass and spearmint), Passion (hibiscus flowers and exotic fruits) and Refresh (peppermint and spearmint). They are sweetened using stevia leaves, whose extracts have up to 300 times the sweetness of sugar. The range will be available in Whole Foods and other natural food markets in the US beginning in April 2010.
