i'm just curious, im beginning my spring "friggin blitz the retailer from all angles to suck every last damn nickel out of the owner" program, and i have a few drinks that im a bit wishy washy about, so to speak.

does anyone have an innovative idea in regards to a great selling, resonably cheap under the radar product that is either an iced tea or soda?

in hindsight, perhaps the topic title was a bit too long to arouse interest. how bout "best tea and gourmet soda found"?

Keep in mind there are very few industry professionals on this board.

yeah im finding that out the hard way. that sucks.

JP,

With so many out there it raelly depends on who gives you the best pricing, freight and support. I would stick to an all natural or gourmet line. It at least gives you an advantage over Coke/Pepsi and the junk brands.

i love the idea, unfortunately with my luck allegedly, if i push the price button customers want quality, and if i push the quality button, well you get the idea....

I don't know if it is available or priced right for you, but Sweetleaf Tea is great.

lipton is best

New Leaf Teas

I just tried four of the New Leaf 100% Natural Teas sweetened with cain juice. The taste of each flavor(Green Tea with Plum,White Tea with Honeydew Melon,White Tea with Strawberry and White Tea with Tangerine)had the most perfect blend of smooth sweetness balanced with flavors that bathed my pallet.

This tea beverage is above and beyond any produced by the Big Three. The cain juice used in this beverage is extraordinary. No question,this is a very special tea beverage.

its funny you should mention that, mr zabe, the owner/distributor of that drink and i have been trying to meet up do discuss distribution rights it seems like for the past month now! where have you seen it? have you talked to the retailer in terms of how well it sells? whats the wholesale cost of it?

as for you mr boodoo, tell me about sweetleaf please.
