- Teavana launches new line of summer cocktail-inspired iced teas
Seattle, 2017-May-25 — /EPR Retail News/ — When summer weekends beckon, there’s no better feeling that comes from the end of a hectic work week. With Memorial Day on the horizon, many of us start thinking about flip flops, sunshine and outdoor fun. Teavana is helping iced tea drinkers slip into the summer mood and kick start their weekends with the launch of a new line of summer cocktail-inspired iced teas, the return of customer-favorite Beach Bellini™ and the declaration of the first summer “Fri-YAY” on Friday, May 26th with a free, select iced tea.
During happy hour (3-7 p.m.) on May 26, customers can enjoy a free 24-fluid-ounce handcrafted featured iced tea at participating Teavana® stores in the U.S. and Canada. Customers can choose from three iced tea flavors, including Beach Bellini™, Strawberry Daquiri and Pina Colada. Use the code FriYAY or show this exclusive Summer Fri-YAY invitation in-store to redeem the free iced tea, while supplies last.
