Coca-Cola to discontinue this drink by end of the year

Some of the most famous long-time favored snacks and treats at the grocery store are arriving back soon, but another beverage under Coca-Cola’s umbrella is about to be gone for interest. The business just revised fans about its HONEST line, revealing that bottled tea is being finished fully by the end of 2022 after almost 25 years.

The drink comes in tastes like Half Tea & Half Lemonade, Honey Green Tea, Peach Tea, Pomegranate Blue, and more but will soon be phased out and returned on grocery store racks by HONEST Kids. The child-geared juice-box-style drink brand is growing quickly, according to Coca-Cola, while the original option has faced tough sales and limited glass supplies.

Older ready-to-drink tea lovers shouldn’t be affected by a lack of brews—the Gold Peak and Peace Tea brands will still remain a part of the organization along with HONEST Kids. Both Gold Peak and Peace Tea saw sales increase during the COVID-19 pandemic as they both cater more to health-conscious shoppers and have “multi-serve” packaging perfect for drinking at home. HONEST, on the other hand, is primarily sold in single-serve bottles.

“Ongoing supply chain challenges mean we are having to prioritize presentation and distribution of certain product SKUs, and that we’ve been unable to meet customer demand for Gold Peak,” Sabrina Tandon, group director, RTD Tea, Coca-Cola North America Operating Unit, said in a report on the company’s website. “This, among other factors, enabled drive this very difficult decision.”

Tandon states they don’t expect the discontinuation to result in much consumer loss—noting that many HONEST Tea fans also buy Gold Peak, as well. For those who may be struggling with what to get once the year is over, here are The 12 Healthiest Teas on Grocery Store Shelves.
