OLD-FASHIONED, FULL-BODIED “SODA WITH SOUL” STRIKES AGAIN

Newton, PA (June, 2005) – Steaz Organic Green Tea Soda, the award-winning organic beverage, that is also recognized as the first carbonated green tea, has just announced the launch of two new sparkling flavors. Already a hit with soda and non-soda lovers nationwide, Steaz combines the joys and taste of good ol’ fashioned soda with the enormous health benefits found in a cup of Ceylon green tea.

In addition to it’s 6 beloved original beverages, Cola, Root Beer, Lemon Dew, Raspberry, Orange and Key Lime, Steaz fans will now be able to savor Grape and Ginger Ale, the newest flavors in the Steaz galaxy of stars. Sourced from 100% natural and certified organic ingredients, including vine-ripened Concord grapes, Steaz’s grape soda is a new pop with an old-fashioned make-you-feel-like-a-kid-again reminiscent twist. The full-bodied, fresh flavor of the Ginger Ale is a healthy twist on a classic taste that includes just the right bite of fresh ginger in the mix of good-for-you ingredients.

“We know that when it comes to soft drinks, people are passionate about their favorite flavors,” says Eric Schnell, co-founder of Steaz Organic Green Tea Soda. “Our company was founded on the premise of providing a healthy, new spin on the classics. Our new Grape and Ginger Ale flavors give consumers what they want, with exceptional taste and the bonus of antioxidants and ‘feel good’ organic ingredients.”

Minus the artificial flavors, colors and preservatives generally found in typical soft drinks, and rich in antioxidants and vitamins, each refreshing Steaz soda packs the powerful punch and nostalgic taste often craved in a regular carbonated flavored drink —without the guilt. Each bottle is hand-crafted and micro-brewed fresh, combining certified organic and 100% natural ingredients that are sourced from around the world.

Also available in a variety of organic certified diet flavors, Steaz is the first soft drink to be stamped with the USDA Organic Seal and is Kosher too.

Steaz Green Tea Soda is a product of The Healthy Beverage Company and is available in 12 oz. glass bottles, sold separately or in 12 and 24 count cases. Created by Eric Schnell and Steve Kessler, “The Healthy Soda Guys” and founders of The Healthy Beverage Company, Steaz Green Tea Soda contains no preservatives, no chemicals, no corn syrup and taste so good they will satisfy even the most stubborn soda connoisseur. www.steaz.com
