Natalie’s Orchid Island Juice Company announced today that its new Matcha Lemonade has won a 2018 Food and Beverage Industry Award (FABI) at the annual competition hosted by the National Restaurant Association. Each year, the associations’ FABI Awards honor the year’s most delicious, unique, and exciting food and beverage products.
“It’s an honor to have leaders in the food and beverage industry recognize our company-wide commitment to producing quality, innovative juices for a second year in a row,” said Natalie’s Orchid Island Juice’s Director of Marketing, Natalie Sexton. “We carefully handcrafted our Matcha Lemonade to be tangy and lemony, and with all the benefits you get from this exotic finely ground Japanese green tea leaf.”
Like all of Natalie’s juices, Matcha Lemonade is honestly sourced, minimally processed, and has no preservatives and no artificial ingredients. In fact, Natalie’s Matcha Lemonade contains just four ingredients: Matcha tea, fresh lemons, Florida pure cane sugar, and water. It’s rich in vitamin C & antioxidants which can support healthy digestion and increase energy levels and endurance. Unlike many mass-produced lemonade brands, Natalie’s Matcha Lemonade is crafted to refresh and provide the health benefits of Matcha.
“We are committed to providing juices with genuine and authentic ingredients, and our Matcha Lemonade is just one more example of that,” said Natalie’s founder and CEO, Marygrace Sexton. “As a hot summer day refreshment, or a cool evening cocktail mixer, our Matcha Lemonade offers our customers a healthy and refreshing option, and we appreciate that the Food and Beverage Industry has recognized this with a FABI award.”
As a FABI award winner, Natalie’s Matcha Lemonade will be showcased at the 2018 National Restaurant Association Show. It is available at select grocery stores.
