Stronger Together

Venturi Bold Brew has introduced Strawberry Hibiscus, a nitro-infused cold brew that fuses coffee, tea, and fruit into a ready-to-drink can, delivering 192mg of clean, all-natural caffeine. The structured depth of coffee provides sustained drive, while hibiscus cuts through with a crisp, tart lift that the company says keeps the palate fresh and the mind sharp. Strawberry rounds out the profile with refreshing brightness, while the nitro infusion brings texture. Venturi Bold Brew strategically blends coffee and tea to offer a beverage supporting endurance and clarity.

Better-for-You Cold Brew

Death Wish Coffee Co. has launched its Caramel Cold Brew Latte, a better-for-you coffee option that delivers an extra kick of caffeine. Made with simple, natural ingredients, with no artificial colors or flavors, the 100% Colombian cold brew coffee is Fair Trade USA Certified, with up to 120mg of natural caffeine per can.

Choice is King

Royal Cup Coffee and Tea has announced a major expansion of its popular Ready-to-Drink (RTD) Cold Brew line with four new flavors: Black Cold Brew, Cold Brew Caramel Latte, Cold Brew Vanilla Latte, and Cold Brew Mocha Latte. The Black Cold Brew offers an impactful, silky-smooth, coffee-forward flavor. For those seeking indulgence, the new lattes offer decadent twists: the Caramel Latte features fragrant golden caramel sweetness; the Vanilla Latte provides a creamy delight reminiscent of melted vanilla ice cream; and the Mocha Latte blends rich, bittersweet chocolate for a supremely indulgent escape.

Soda, Meet Tea

Sprite has announced the return of Sprite + Tea as an annual summer LTO. The category-crossing offering blends the crisp, lemon-lime refreshment of Sprite with the classically refreshing flavor of tea. Coca Cola North America’s R&D team completed several rounds of consumer testing to fine-tune the formula for the amber-colored sparkling beverage. The resulting product launch blew up on TikTok with millions of views. Regular and zero-sugar varieties of Sprite + Tea are available through October.

In a new collaboration between tarte cosmetics and Saint James Iced Tea blends beauty and beverage, bringing together two fan favorites wrapped in exclusive, co-branded packaging: tarte cosmetics maracuja juicy lip featuring antioxidant-rich passion fruit, and Saint James Iced Tea Passion Fruit & Peach, freshly brewed, low-calorie, organic green tea from the Nilgiris, India, infused with passion fruit and peach nectar for a refreshing, subtly energizing glow-up in a bottle.
