The Ready-to-Drink (RTD) beverage market is experiencing a remarkable surge, offering consumers convenience, quality, and an ever-expanding range of options. From premium teas to innovative alcoholic beverages, RTDs are reshaping how we enjoy our favourite drinks. Three brands at the forefront of this revolution are 96°, Mandatory Spirit Co., and Mymosa, each bringing unique offerings to the Australian market.
96°: Redefining Tea in Australia
Australia has long been celebrated for its world-class coffee, but tea is now stepping into the spotlight with 96°. This brand is dedicated to delivering the perfect tea experience, emphasising quality and smoothness in every cup. Named after the optimal brewing temperature for Assam tea, 96° reflects founder Adarsh Sethia’s passion for sourcing the finest teas.
Launching in Coles this June, 96° offers four exquisite varieties: Chamomile, Chinese Green, English Breakfast, and Mint teas. Each is packed in pyramid-shaped tea bags that allow the leaves to unfurl fully, releasing complex flavours. These tea bags are sealed in air-tight envelopes to preserve freshness, ensuring every cup is perfect. Priced at $10 for 20 tea bags, 96° offers excellent value for premium quality.
