Phoenix, May 12 - Revolution Tea, specializing in premium, whole leaf tea and iced tea products, announces today it will partner with Kraft Foodservice for national distribution in the foodservice channel.
Kraft Foodservice will distribute Revolution's all-natural, premium iced tea and dispensing system, as well as single serving hot teas in boxes and foils.
"We are thrilled to now offer high quality, premium tea products from Revolution Tea," said Juli Anne Barry, business manager at Kraft Foodservice. "Revolution's quality from the tea inside to the outside packaging is unparalleled."
Revolution Tea Founder and CEO Larry DeAngelis said the opportunity to be a part of Kraft's extensive network would take the Revolution brand to a whole new level.
"Revolution Tea will now be served at some of the most recognized eating establishments in America," said DeAngelis.
Kraft Foodservice notes the growth trend in the tea category as a key factor in the decision to add Revolution's product line and compared the category to the premium coffee trend of years ago.
"We are witnessing the tea category following the same trend as other premium beverages and are already seeing an increased demand for high-quality products such as Revolution Tea," said Barry.
Revolution is one of many new premium products being brought to market through Kraft Foodservice as part of the Kraft Foods Inc. overall growth strategy.
Kraft Foodservice will begin distribution of Revolution Tea products in May.
