The Sprouts Healthy Communities Foundation and The Republic of Tea Introduce Exclusive Blackberry Sage Iced Tea Supporting Health and Wellness Causes

The Republic of Tea, leading purveyor of premium teas and herbs, and the Sprouts Healthy Communities Foundation, are pleased to announce a limited-edition Blackberry Sage Iced Tea, which supports local health and wellness causes. The refreshing summer blend is available exclusively at Sprouts locations across the country today through the end of July.

The Sprouts Healthy Communities Foundation was founded in 2015 to drive lasting change in the health of the communities surrounding Sprouts stores. To date, the Foundation has donated more than $7 million to health and wellness related causes. The Republic of Tea will donate $1 of each Blackberry Sage Iced Tea tin sold, with a minimum guaranteed donation of $30,000. Sprouts covers 100% of the Foundation’s operations, so shoppers can know the entire donation will support the Foundation’s youth nutrition education programs supporting local neighborhoods nationwide.

The Blackberry Sage Iced Tea tins retail for $5.99. Each recyclable tin holds eight large, unbleached tea pouches; each perfectly portioned to steep a one-quart pitcher of healthy, premium iced tea at home. The organic, farmers’ market-inspired flavor combines sun-ripened blackberries and fresh sage with the finest quality tea leaves. Sage provides a cool, soothing herbal accent to subtly sweet and fragrant berries for an invigorating summer sip.
