HUL and PepsiCo are revivifying their 7-year-old JV to sell ready-to-drink teas and tea drinkables by launching Lipton ice tea again.

Lipton tea will be introduced in ready-to-drink bottles by the coming week in the national capital and the NCR region.

PepsiCo Executive Director, Innovation, Geetu Verma stated that the new ready-to-drink teas will be marketed in two different flavors for 25 each and be brought to other cities in the coming time.

The move is in proportion to the cola competitors PepsiCo and Coca-Cola's effort to broadbase their collections with speedily developing functional beverages including fortified juices, teas, vitamin water and milk-based drinkables, as consumers start favoring healthier beverages as compared to aerated drinks.

"The concept was ahead of its time. Consumer insights told us there was a gap between intent and action when it came to consumption of health beverages," Verma said. "But that's changing and there's increasing consumer readiness for such products. Ice tea is a niche but growing category," Geetu Verma said.
