NASFT Summer Fancy Food Show 2010 - Feature Story

Having a refreshing drink in the summer time - such as a tall glass of iced tea - is one of the simple yet great joys of the season to cool one down.  Wouldn't you welcome a tea that could not only cool you down during the dog days, but also quench your thirst all year 'round?  Well, such a beverage does exist and it comes from New Leaf Brands.

New Leaf is undoubtedly taking the drink industry by storm with their real teas consisting of four categories of teas with 13 flavors, as well as their 4 deliciously distinctive lemonades.

White Tea:  Honeydew, strawberry.

Green Tea:  Ginseng & Honey, mango, plum.

Blue Tea:  Lemon, peach, raspberry, diet lemon, diet peach.

Black Tea:  Lime & Mint, sweet tea, unsweetened.

Lemonades:  The Tiger, strawberry, homemade, blackberry.

The discerning consumer would be happy to know that this product is not only great tasting, but also made with natural fruit flavors, 100% pure organic cane sugar and no HFCS (high fructose corn syrup).

Founded in 2004 on a shoestring budget, New Leaf is considered "the official beverage of taste."  At the NASFT Summer Fancy Food Show 2010 we had the great opportunity to chat with Founder & CEO Eric Skae about his growing company.

(Note:  We do apologize that the audio is not perfect, however, we promise to make it better next time.  FYI - I actually had the peach flavor in my hand at the end of the video.  Thanks for watching!)
