ELOMENTS RELEASES
VITAMIN TEA RANGE
Australian fair trade brand Eloments has released five new flavours in its tea range, infused with 100 per cent natural vitamins and minerals.
The teas have extracted vitamins from holy basil, guava, amla, annatto, sesbania and lemon using a patented water-processing method, with more than 40 per cent of the recommended daily intake of vitamins including, B1, B2, C and Zinc.
The company says its vitamin tea range is crafted by Australian nutrition specialists and provides a number of benefits, such as increased energy levels, and digestive, immune system and metabolism support.
The flavours include Double Lemon, Ceylon Breakfast, Summer Orange, Egyptian Mint and Bourbon Vanilla.
Eloments tea can be purchased exclusively in Woolworths stores nationwide for an RRP of $7.50.
Treasury Wine Estates deputy chief marketing officer Angus Lilley says: “Gin is so popular at the moment and Squealing Pig Rosé is growing by sixty-seven per cent. Squealing Pig has had enormous success bringing some playfulness and fun to the typically serious wine category. This is the first gin sold in Australia that contains pinot noir rosé wine, sourced from Marlborough, New Zealand.”
Drinks expert Jason Crawley – who received the 2018 Australian Bar Awards’ Outstanding Contribution Award – worked as a consultant on the launch plans, and says the gin “really punches above its weight”.
“With an alluring pale salmon colour, it is dry, light and refreshing with subtle juniper, bright citrus flavours and balanced spices. The addition of the rosé wine gives it a delightful hint of lifted strawberry on the finish.”
Squealing Pig Rosé Gin (700ml) is now available to order and will be launching in store around the country in July.
