Social Media Coordinator
Just Ice Tea, Washington, District of Columbia, United States
At Just Ice Tea, we’re on a mission to help consumers “Eat (and Drink) the Change they wish to see in the world,” starting with our product line: Just Ice Tea. When their beloved brand was discontinued, Honest Tea Co-Founders Seth Goldman and Barry Nalebuff partnered with Celebrity Chef Spike Mendelsohn to brew a new, delicious tasting beverage that supports fair trade and organic farming. Launched in fall 2022 through Eat the Change, Just Ice Tea™ now offers 15 varieties of unsweetened and just sweet enough teas made with clean, easily recognizable ingredients. Through its commitment to fair trade, Just Ice Tea helps provide a more just, healthier way of life for our farmers and our planet—and healthier options for you. This is Just Ice Tea, but it’s also so much more.
