Twelve5 Beverage Company Enters Hard Tea Market with New Twelve5’s REBEL Brew

Neenah, Wis. – Twelve5 Beverage Company, founder of REBEL Hard Coffee, is excited to announce its launch of new Twelve5’s REBEL Hard Tea. Making its debut in the hard tea category, Twelve5’s REBEL Hard Tea is a flavor-packed alcoholic beverage that’s perfectly blended with 100% real black tea and only 100 calories, making it an ideal beverage for consumers looking for a light yet flavorful summertime sipper.

“We saw an untapped need in the hard tea market to bring awesome flavor paired with a real tea experience but is lower in calories and sugar than what is currently on the market for our Twelve5 Rebel consumers,” said Michael Sargent, senior brand manager – REBEL Hard Tea. “Unlike high-sugar hard teas or hard seltzers that only have a hint of tea flavor, Rebel Hard Tea offers a flavor-packed experience that is only 100 calories and a smoother drink than traditional carbonated seltzers.”

REBEL Hard Tea is available in four refreshing flavors, including Sweet Hard Tea with a splash Lemon, Half & Half Hard Tea with Lemonade, Peach Hard Tea, and Raspberry Hard Tea. Made with real, brewed black tea and no carbonation for an easier drinking experience, REBEL Hard Tea blends the most-loved tea flavors with a kick of alcohol to bring a new experience for ready-to-drink hard tea lovers that’s only 100 calories.
