Revolution Tea Selects International Dispensing's Multiserve SafePaks for New Line of Super Premium Iced Teas

Business Wire
Revolution Tea, one of the fastest growing premium tea companies
in the country, today announced the introduction of a new line of
aseptic, super premium iced teas to be introduced at restaurants
and restaurant chains nationwide. The teas will be offered in
one-gallon Multiserve SafePaks�, exclusively from International
Dispensing Corporation (IDC) (IDND.PK), that enable shelf-stable
liquids to be dispensed safely over extended time without
refrigeration. The new line of super premium iced teas will come in
five flavors � Classic Iced, 50/50 Iced, Red Hawaiian Iced, Golden
Peach Iced, and Emerald Green Iced - and will be distributed
nationally by Revolution Tea and through the company�s distribution
agreement with Kraft Foodservice NA.
Critical to Multiserve SafePak is The Answer�, a proprietary
technology and the world�s only certified aseptic dispensing tap.
Written up in the March 2008 issue of the peer-reviewed Journal of
Food Protection, The Answer� prevents microorganisms from
compromising product safety, nutrition, and taste even during
prolonged, unrefrigerated dispensing. The Answer� enables
aseptically processed teas to be offered, for the first time ever,
in a multi-serve, foodservice-friendly format. The gentler
processing of aseptic compared to hot-fill and retort results in
better taste and greater nutritional value for the consumer.
�We�re excited to be working with IDC and using the Multiserve
SafePak to help launch our new line of super premium iced teas,�
says David Enser, Vice President of Foodservice for Revolution Tea.
�After a thorough search, we chose the Multiserve SafePak and The
Answer� because it is the most innovative and
environmentally-friendly package in the market, one that is easy to
use and ideal for foodservice on many levels.�
The new line of iced teas will be welcomed by restaurants that
spend considerable labor and energy brewing teas daily, only to
discard unused portions every night. Multiserve SafePaks replace
brewing and handling with push-button convenience; eliminate
spillage and mess; ensure product quality and consistency; provide
100 percent safety against bacteria and mold; and free up valuable
refrigeration space typically needed to keep daily-brewed iced teas
from going bad.
In addition, a recent independent Life Cycle Analysis conducted
by Allied Development, measuring the comprehensive environmental
impact of various packaging formats through every step of the
supply chain, documents that the Multiserve SafePak consumes
significantly less energy, greenhouse gas, and landfill volume than
all the formats tested, including PET bottles, aseptic cartons, and
milk jugs.
Says Greg Abbott, founder and chairman of IDC, �Revolution Tea
is one of the leading innovators in the tea industry, recognized
not just for its quality and interesting flavors, but also for its
fresh approaches to packaging. We are thrilled by the association
and believe that together we will transform the way iced tea is
delivered in foodservice. IDC is confident that this will lead to
other opportunities to extend the far-reaching benefits of the
Multiserve SafePak and The Answer to both foodservice and retail
bulk packaging.�
