Today’s announcement by Coca-Cola that they will be discontinuing
@HonestTea
is a gut punch to all the sweat, tears, and incredible passion that went into building our beloved brand. (1/11)
It’s time to spill the tea on the name for our new line of bottled tea, which will be coming to stores in a few months. The brand name will be:
Just
Ice
Tea

My Mom made it to 90 today! 4 kids, 4 notable books on Chinese history, 100s of articles. 12 grandchildren, countless meals and endless love and support. Total legend
Bravo
@Newsweek
for recognizing the transformative impact that recreating meat from plants can have. Bravo
@BeyondMeat
and Ethan Brown for making it possible
In the coming months,
@eat_the_change
will launch () a line of just-sweet-enough organic bottled teas. Two weeks ago we were busy launching our carrot & mushroom snacks, but plans changed when Coca-Cola announced the discontinuation of
@HonestTea
. (1/10)
Such an exciting moment! It's not too early to tell your friends and favorite retailers -- Just Ice Tea from
@eat_the_change
is being distributed nationally. Ask them to carry it before they run out of
@HonestTea
!
It’s been a busy summer. On May 23 we learned
@CocaColaCo
was discontinuing
@HonestTea
. After two weeks of mourning,
@eat_the_change
announced June 6 we would be launching a line of organic bottled tea. (1/13)
@MOMsOrganicMrkt
has always been my OG - technically they were the first account to sell HT back in the day (1998) - and now they’re ushering in the Changing of the Tea in the DMV
@eat_the_change
As Dr. Seuss wrote, “Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.” I will always be proud and gratified that I was able to be part of a brand that (for 24 years) represented an effort to shift America’s diet and shopping habits in a healthier direction. (8/11)
On this date 25 yrs ago, I started
@HonestTea
. With the support of my wife,
@indigobunting62
, and my HT co-founder,
@BarryNalebuff
, we aspired to create a powerful brand to move people toward healthier diets that are planet-friendly and mindful about their sourcing practices. 1/6
Celebrating a new decade for
@indigobunting62
. We've now been married longer than we’ve been apart and I can’t imagine life any other way. Like our favorite nectarine, she is sweet but complicated. She is strong but caring, wicked smaht and so much fun.
I am now deeply and passionately engaged in building my next wave of beloved/mission-driven brands,
@Eat_the_Change
,
@BeyondMeat
, and
@PLNTBurger
. I have the same urgency to promote planet-friendly, nutrient-dense diets as I did with
@HonestTea
. (9/11)
It’s not every day that I get to talk about
@BeyondMeat
and
@HonestTea
AND get to share some of my college glory(?!) days as a rapper...though my sons may have a different definition of “glory”
I had the pleasure of chatting with
@HonestSeth
at
@PlantBasedExpo
. We covered a lot in this conversation, including what's next for
@BeyondMeat
when it comes to pricing, nutrition, and ingredient sourcing. But my favorite part was Seth busting rhymes!

What a special way to mark Earth Month - ringing the opening
@NASDAQ
bell with the
@eat_the_change
team. Here’s my remarks from today’s ceremony. (1/9)
@HonestTea
My thoughts are with our longtime partners and friends, the
#organic
and
@FairTradeCert
farmers who helped develop their communities and protect their ecosystems with the tens of millions of pounds of sugar and spice they sold us. (2/11)
Since 1998
@bethesdabagels
has been a partner, so it's only right that they are the first foodservice account for Just Ice Tea from
@eat_the_change
. The world's best bagels deserve the world's best tea. All in the 301 !!

Beyond Meat® Announces Strategic Global Agreement with McDonald’s
I am grateful for the hundreds of amazing people who helped
@BarryNalebuff
and me grow this idea from five thermoses and an empty Snapple bottle into more than a billion bottles sold. (3/11)
Starting today, and every Monday for the next 5 weeks,
@eat_the_change
will be introducing a new variety of Just Ice Tea (6 varieties for the launch). (1/9)
Almost perfect way to start the day in Vancouver
@TimHortons
with
@BeyondMeat
. Next month I’ll be able to enjoy our breakfast sausage with
@HonestTea
, after we launch the organic and
@FairTradeCert
brand in Canada.
Our boys grew up with the
@SUBWAY
veggie patty, but can’t wait to shift to the
@BeyondMeat
meatball sub!! Along with an Honest Kids from
@HonestTea
of course
I am somewhat consoled by the fact that
#HonestKids
will continue to grow and thrive. It has helped remove billions of empty calories from the American diet. I hope that work will continue to scale. (7/11)
My gratitude goes out to the tens of millions of consumers who bought our drinks and who benefited from having a less sweet, less caloric, authentic drink as part of their diet. (5/11)
Thoughtful
@Medium
piece on whether
@BeyondMeat
is “natural”. Harnessing electricity wasn’t something early humans could do, but it has improved our lives. Our ancestors couldn’t create dense and delicious proteins from plants, but we can.
Just Ice Tea from
@eat_the_change
has now officially launched nationwide at
@WholeFoods
! For more than 20 years, Whole Foods has always been an incredible and powerful partner - they bring scale and credibility to any brand they get behind.
I don’t know about the “mogul” part, but thrilled to announce my new role as a founder of
@PLNTBurger
and
@Eat_the_change
. Back into the startup grind!!
Love the
@ErewhonMarket
love for
@eat_the_change
- no better way to celebrate Earth Month than going organic and leaning into a plant-based diet
Honest Tea’s most popular flavor variety was the combination of green tea with honey. Fans of this flavor can rest assured that Just Ice Tea will also have a variety that combines the smooth taste of honey blended with earthy notes of green tea once again. (1/16)
Happy 21st Birthday
@HonestTea
! Although the company is now drinking age, I'll be keeping it herbal. Thanks
@BarryNalebuff
for being such a great co-founder and
@indigobunting62
for being the perfect partner all along the way.

takes his role as a parent one step beyond. It's not just about shooting baskets -- it's using the game to teach about life. I'm glad my sons didn't learn their jump-shots from me, but there were lots of lessons taught on the court.
#GoBeyond
@BeyondMeat
I tell my son that my job is to fight for progress and to look out for the next generation. This starts with taking care of myself so I have the fuel to push harder. What I put in my body matters now, more than ever.

What an honor to share the podium with my son

While I was proud of what our brand represented, I was equally proud of the incredible group of people we assembled – the relationships we built, the pride we took in our work and the love we created as a team. (4/11)
It is critical the plant-based movement keeps reminding people that plants and farmers are at the root of what we offer. Every food, including animal-based meat, goes through a process before it reaches our plate.
@BeyondMeat
starts with a field and a farmer.
I agree with Theodore Parker and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who said, “The moral arc of the universe is long but it bends toward justice.” But If I have learned anything, it’s that the arc doesn’t move in a straight line. That is the work we are meant to do. (10/11)

The 5th variety of tea we will be launching is a peach blend featuring teas from China & India. I’ve written about our tea from China so today I will focus on the Korakundah Tea Garden nestled in the hills near the Nilgiri Mountains in S. India. (1/9)
