It offers the goodness of tea because it contains a tea extract which is made using real tea leaves which are a source of naturally occurring antioxidants.

14,345 million litres, or 237 litres per person of soft drinks were consumed in the UK in 2006 and with a record 61%* of this market taken up by ‘healthier’ products such as diet, low calorie and no added sugar drinks, including bottled water and fruit juices it is products of this type that the public are increasingly switching to.

Even in iced form, drinks made from tea extracts produced using real tea leaves provide more than great taste.
