Halfday to Launch Crisp Apple Tea, Bringing Orchard Energy to the Fall Season

September 10, 2026 - Halfday, the better-for-you iced tea brand made with prebiotics, is expanding its flavors with Crisp Apple Tea, a seasonal brew that brings the whole apple orchard feeling into a can, with no cider stand, carbonation, or sugar crash required.

Inspired by classic autumn cues like hayrides and orchard trips, Halfday Crisp Apple Tea delivers nostalgic flavor for adults who want a healthier alternative to soda or high-sugar seasonal drinks. Brewed with organic black tea, each 12 oz can packs 6g of GOODDAY prebiotic fiber (from cassava root, acacia, and agave inulin), 50mg of natural caffeine, and 5g of organic cane sugar at 40 calories. The non-carbonated, Non-GMO Project Verified formula contains nothing artificial and offers a smooth, authentic apple drink designed to support gut health.

Unlike seasonal drinks packed with sugar or heavy carbonation, Crisp Apple Tea stays true to traditional cider format: still, refreshing, and cold. Halfday is proving iced tea is not just for warm weather by introducing fall flavors that give tea drinkers a reason to keep the fridge stocked after summer ends.

“We built Halfday to reimagine classic, nostalgic flavors in a way that actually treats your body well,” said Kayvon Jahanbakhsh, Co-Founder of Halfday. “Growing up, fall meant picking apples and grabbing a cold cider at the orchard. With Crisp Apple, we wanted to capture that core memory in a can, giving people a clean, fiber-packed way to enjoy fall flavor with real functional benefits.”

Beginning now, Halfday Crisp Apple Tea will be available to purchase online via Amazon, followed by a national in-store launch at Walmart on October 1. The seasonal flavor will also roll out to select regional grocery partners including H-E-B, Wegmans, Fresh Thyme, New Seasons, Giant Eagle, Earth Fare, and Albertsons.
