The RYL Company™, encouraging wellness enthusiasts to add more healthy, sustainable products to shopping trips, announced its official launch across the Northeastern US in Wegmans and select Whole Foods Market stores.
Beverage industry executive Blodin Ukella, who grew up drinking tea as a wellness remedy in a Kosovo refugee family, founded The RYL Company after noticing a lack of crave-worthy options with healthy ingredients on the market.
RYL's indulgent taste profiles mimic nostalgic iced tea, while delivering similar health benefits of steeped tea.
After raising $6.7 million from strategic investors and an intensive nine-month R&D process, The RYL Company invented proprietary "Ryl Polyphenol Technology" – a unique method and formula that delivers 200mg tea polyphenols consistently to each can. The line includes indulgent taste profiles of nostalgic, well known iced tea, while delivering similar health benefits of homemade steeped tea, amidst being zero sugar, zero calories, and no artificial ingredients. RYL Tea is packaged in a fully recyclable aluminum can, challenging the traditional plastic-filled tea category.
The RYL Company debuts the line with four different flavors, sweetened by all-natural monk fruit and stevia leaf extract: Original Green Tea, Peach Black Tea, Raspberry Black Tea, and Lemon Black Tea. All products are Non-GMO Project Verified, OU Kosher, Gluten-Free, and Plant-Based.
