Julian Warowioff, MD of ChariTea said: “Launching with Waitrose lets us bring our approach to quality and social responsibility to many more people at a time when shoppers are looking for drinks that hydrate naturally and stand for something real.

“The iced tea category is growing fast, and we are excited to offer a more premium and conscious option with a retailer that shares our values.”

The brand supports charitable initiatives, with the Lemonaid & ChariTea Foundation receiving 5p for every bottle sold to help communities in Africa, Asia and South America.
