It's clear that we're easing the tension for consumers who love fruit juice but also are sugar and calorie conscious," Trop50 director of marketing Kate Keller said. "These leading-edge flavors give people even more ways to enjoy refreshing fruit juice goodness throughout the day."

In line with the Trop50 with Tea launch, the brand will extend the "Girlfriends" advertising campaign starring Jane Krakowski with new TV spots. The ads, created by Contagious Content, were directed by "Made of Honor" director Paul Weiland.
