During these challenging times, it is even more valuable to know what makes us feel happy and healthy. For me, getting into a new routine while staying mostly at home has been a blessing in disguise. I have been able to spend more time with my furry best friend, Truffle, and discover new products that keep me in tip top shape. 

As a daily tea drinker, iced teas are usually my drink of choice to cool down after a pilates home workout or while just lounging in the comfort of my sofa. Tejava’s black iced tea definitely hits the right spot in quenching my thirst without any additional calories, preservatives or artificial ingredients. My shiba inu, Truffle, also agrees with me, and she likes to cuddle on a chilled bottle of Tejava to cool herself down. 

Tejava’s recently launched flavors, lemon and pineapple mango, gives a unique twist to the distinguishable taste of authentic black tea - bold yet smooth. The lemon flavor brings a hint of zing that can be easily paired either with snacks or main meals. The lemon flavored iced tea is particularly helpful in cleansing the palate when eating oily or air fried foods.

Just in time for Indian summer in the San Francisco Bay Area (September and October), the more exotic pineapple mango flavored iced tea brought me back to the days of living on a tropical island in Asia. Traveling to an island might not be in the near horizon right now, but I love how Tejava brought back happy memories of frolicking on my favorite beach sipping a glass of iced cold drink under a coconut tree and gazing in the vast blue ocean. I’m looking forward to spending these hot Indian summer days at home relaxing with tropical vibes via a bottle of Tejava. 

No wonder that drinking Tejava makes me think of chilling on a tropical island since its black tea leaves are sustainably and ethically grown from the Rainforest Alliance Certified™ Farms in Java, Indonesia; hence, the name Tea-Java. The leaves are picked at peak season between May and October and brewed in small batches. Producing high-quality unsweetened iced teas, Tejava has earned the Global Tea Championship in the Unsweetened, Black Tea category 8 times.

With products that are packaged in PET plastic recyclable and glass bottles, there are numerous ways to enjoy Tejava whether at home or on-the-go. The new lemon flavor is the first flavored Tejava iced tea offered in their 1 liter glass bottle, which is great for sharing with loved ones or for avid tea drinkers.

Tejava’s new flavors are now available at Nob Hill, Bel Air, and Raley’s Markets in 1 liter glass as well as in Safeway stores in the 1 liter glas and in 500mL single plastic bottles and 6-packs in the Bay Area. You can also find them online at Amazon and Walmart in 1 liter glass and 500 mL PET plastic bottles. Learn more at www.tejava.com.
