Starting today, consumers can enjoy one of the first premium sparkling ready-to-drink (RTD) iced tea beverages on the market with the introduction of Teavana Sparkling Craft Iced Tea. The new product line will first be regionally available in select Northeast and Midwest grocery stores with plans for national distribution in 2019.
