First Women’s Nutrition Bar to Harness the Power of Tea Launched by LUNA
Each LUNA Tea Cake combines organic ingredients, vitamins and minerals, and premium organic tea from The Republic of Tea to deliver a wide range of functional nutritional benefits.
14/02/07 LUNA, the makers of the Whole Nutrition Bar for Women, announced the launch of LUNA Tea Cakes, the first nutrition bar to harness the power of tea, along with other ingredients, to promote specific aspects of women’s wellness, such as mood balance, better skin and longevity.
LUNA Tea Cakes offer a new twist on the popular LUNA bar line, with a unique shape and texture that make them different from a typical nutrition bar. The new bar-like product tastes more like a soft-baked cookie and is LUNA’s first non-soy, 95 percent USDA certified organic baked snack.
Each LUNA Tea Cake combines organic ingredients, vitamins and minerals, and premium organic tea from The Republic of Tea to deliver a wide range of functional nutritional benefits. Ongoing research suggests tea’s anti-oxidant properties can help protect against a range of cancers, reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke, and help the response of the body's immune system. By combining antioxidant-rich teas with other nutritional ingredients such as blueberries, pomegranates, Goji berries, Omega-3, Calcium, Vitamin D and Beta Carotene, LUNA Tea Cakes are the perfect snack to nourish and revitalize women.
LUNA Tea Cakes are available in three delicious flavors, each providing distinct benefits:
-- Orange Blossom - For Healthy Skin (White Tea)
-- Beta Carotene, Magnesium & Copper, B Vitamins, Omega-3
-- Pomegranate Berry - For Longevity (Green Tea)
-- Blueberries, Pomegranates, Calcium, Omega-3
-- Vanilla Macadamia - For Mood Balance (Rooibos Red Tea)
-- Goji berries, Vitamin D, low glycemic to banish sugar spikes together
In addition to nutritionally beneficial ingredients, LUNA Tea Cakes also encourages women to take time out of their busy schedules to rejuvenate. “It’s important for busy women to treat themselves for overall wellness, which is why each LUNA Tea Cake includes a LUNA Moment, offering an encouraging reminder about the importance of self and relaxation – enjoying nourishing food can be a part of that process,” said Kristel Cerna, LUNA brand director. “LUNA Tea Cakes are the perfect snack for women to enjoy as part of their daily routine to take time to recharge, as well as unwind.”
LUNA Tea Cakes are the first product introduction related to the collaboration of two San Francisco Bay Area brands – The Republic of Tea and LUNA, part of Clif Bar & Co. The second product introduction and ideal complement to the LUNA Tea Cakes are the LUNA Nutritional Iced Tea For Women made by the Republic of Tea. This collaboration marks an extension of both brands’ line of products that benefit and nourish the specific needs of today’s on-the-go women.
