Halfday, Philadelphia, introduced a new limited-edition flavor: Tropical Tea. Crafted for summer, Tropical Tea delivers a blend of pineapple, passion fruit and guava.

With its sunny flavor profile and gut-friendly ingredients, this limited-edition release stays true to what sets Halfday apart: iced tea that tastes great and supports digestive health, the company says. Like every flavor in the lineup, it strikes the ideal balance of flavor and function, delivering just 4 grams of sugar, 35 calories, and 6 grams of prebiotic fiber from the brand’s proprietary GOODDAY Prebiotic Blend – a trio of cassava root fiber, fructan fiber and organic agave inulin.

“We’ve built our brand around classic, nostalgic iced teas, but for summer, we wanted to create something a little more adventurous,” said Mike Lombardo, co-founder of Halfday, in a statement. “Tropical Tea is bright, juicy, and fun — something that feels like a mini getaway in a can, without straying from the low sugar, gut-healthy foundation people count on us for.”

The launch of Tropical Tea marks the latest step in Halfday’s refreshed approach to bringing more energy and flavor to the better-for-you beverage space. Exclusive to this release, the tagline “Happiness comes in waves — this time, it comes in a can” reflects the product’s playful personality and summertime appeal, while reinforcing the brand’s commitment to making gut-healthy drinks that are as enjoyable as they are functional.

“Limited-edition flavors like Tropical Tea give us a chance to explore new, exciting taste profiles while staying true to what matters — making iced tea better for you,” said Kayvon Jahanbakhsh, co-founder and CEO of Halfday. “It’s a way for us to keep innovating, keep surprising our customers, and have some fun with the category.”

Tropical Tea is available exclusively at Whole Foods Market locations nationwide and on Amazon. At Whole Foods, it’s offered in four-packs ($7.99) and single cans (two for $4), while Amazon customers can purchase 12-pack cases for $29.88.
