Juni has introduced a Lemonade Trio, adding two lemonade-inspired sparkling teas — Strawberry Lemonade and Watermelon Lemonade — to its functional beverage lineup. Juni said the trio is designed to offer a zero-sugar, organic sparkling tea option for consumers seeking nostalgic flavors with functional ingredients.

Each beverage includes Juni’s Super-5 Blend, which includes ashwagandha, lion’s mane, reishi mushroom, green tea and acerola cherry. The drinks contain zero sugar, 30 mg of caffeine and USDA Organic-certified ingredients.

Kim Perell, co-founder of Juni, said the launch reflects growing consumer interest in recognizable, better-for-you beverages.

“We’re seeing a real resurgence of interest in nostalgic, better-for-you beverages, and lemonade is having a major moment,” Perell said in a statement. “Consumers are looking for flavors that are refreshing and recognizable, but also align with how they want to live and feel.”
