Tea Will Be Loved to Benefit Feeding America
Snapple and Grammy award-winning pop-rock band Maroon 5 have partnered to launch ‘Tea Will Be Loved’ – a blend of green tea and black tea with notes of pomegranate and berries.
Tea Will Be Loved will benefit Feeding America, a hunger-relief organization, by helping to provide 1,750,000 meals to those in need.
Inspired by the personalities of the band members and named for their smash-hit “She Will Be Loved,” this limited release Snapple tea will be available at participating retailers beginning on September 1, 2011.

We love it, and we’re excited for our fans to try it.”
Tea Will Be Loved is a five-fruit mash-up with each band mate choosing their own flavor to add to the tea: pomegranate, orange, blackberry, raspberry and hibiscus.
It features 13 specially marked gold Snapple caps with Real Facts about Maroon 5 and Feeding America, such as Real Fact #682: Maroon 5’s former name was “Kara’s Flowers.” The band also contributed to the graphic design of the packaging for the new tea.
