BOS Brands, the colourful and proudly South African ice tea company has officially added a sugar-free variant to its line of delicious fruit flavoured ice teas, which will be launching mid-June. The first of BOS’s iconic cans to go sugar-free are two of the brand’s most popular flavours, peach and lemon.
The BOS ethos has always been that of good health, and an attitude where being healthy doesn’t have to be at the expense of having fun and living a creative and joyful life. When it came to designing the new packaging for the sugar-free cans, BOS has taken great care to make them stand out on shelves, along with their classic range of iconic bold cans. The rings around the cans symbolise “zeros”, which will differentiate between no sugar and the classic BOS range.
The sugar-free variant will continue to remain colourant and preservative free, with the brand’s organically grown rooibos, farmed at a private nature reserve in the Cederberg. The Sugar Free Peach and Lemon will both be available in 275ml cans and will retail at R11.99. The Sugar Free Lemon will also be available in a 1 litre retailing at R21.99. BOS Sugar Free will hit shelves nationwide in June. So keep an eye out for the new bold cans showing off their zeros!
