simple, Lipton Sparkling Green Tea is made of the finest tea leaves
sourced from around the world, which provide naturally protective
flavonoid antioxidants. These antioxidants can help the body
protect itself against free radicals, molecules that can damage
cells -- an added benefit among sparkling beverages. "Lipton
Sparkling Green Tea brings together the great taste and the
goodness of tea that are trademarks of Lipton Iced Tea, with the
fun and sparkle of a soda," said Mary Barnard, VP/GM, Pepsi-Lipton
Tea Partnership. "Now, consumers really can have it all." This
spring Lipton Sparkling Green Tea will be available nationwide in
regular Berry and both diet and regular Strawberry Kiwi. Packaged
in 20-ounce, 1.5-liter and 16.9-ounce 12-packs, the new drink will
be supported by a full slate of TV, radio and digital advertising.
Green tea has been the fastest growing segment of the RTD Tea
category, with an average annual growth rate of 16.5 percent (IRI,
GDMx, 2006-2008). Lipton Iced Tea has been the major driver of this
growth and accounts for 42 percent of category sales. About
