VIRGINIA’S BEST WATER, STEAZ ORGANIC ENERGY DRINKS & SODA

RENEW PRODUCT SPONSORSHIPS WITH KEY MOTORSPORTS FOR ‘08

 

The two award-winning suppliers of beverages to the Key Motorsports NASCAR racing effort – Virginia’s Best Water and Steaz Green Tea Energy Drink and Soda – have renewed their respective support programs for the 2008 season.

 

Virginia’s Best Water, a division of the Wholesome Foods Company of Edinburg, Virginia, supplies private labeled bottled water to Key Motorsports for consumption by team members throughout the racing season while the Healthy Beverage Company of Newtown, PA is the producer of the healthy Steaz (www.steaz.com) organic green tea product line that features its new energy drink and sodas.

 

Wholesome Foods, an independent meat and poultry processing and distribution center that was founded in 1964, bottles its Artesian well water in a variety of sizes and containers and provides custom label capability to any customer on its 16 ounce plastic bottles. The Artesian water comes from Wholesome Foods’ own well located more than 400 feet beneath its property in the sprawling and picturesque Shenandoah Valley.

 

Virginia’s Best Water has been cited for its quality and taste, earning a bronze medal in the 2006 Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting Contest. Virginia’s Best Water can be found at retail in selected Wal-Mart and Whole Foods stores in Virginia. For information on the company’s private label program, visit www.wholesomefoodsinc.com on the world-wide web or call 1-800-723-6637.

 

The Healthy Beverage Company has also been cited for producing one of the fastest growing and best tasting organic product lines in the soft drink industry through its Steaz soda and energy drink products. All Steaz products are made from fair trade certified organic Ceylon green tea grown in Sri Lanka.

 

The soda is now available in slim, 12-ounce aluminum cans as well as glass bottles while the new energy drink is offered in 12-ounce cans in three flavors including a diet version of its original mixed berry formula. Nine soda flavors are available in bottles while four (Raspberry, Orange, Root Beer and Green Tea) are offered in cans.

 

Steaz soft drinks also meet national school standards with their ingredients using decaffeinated green tea and added acerola to boost Vitamin C levels. Steaz soda is also the only carbonated soft drink to be certified for all-day sales in schools

 

Steaz Energy Drink contains guayaki yerba mate, Sambazon acai and guarana in addition to the Healthy Beverage Company’s own Ceylon green tea. Steaz Energy Drink also contains no high fructose corn syrup and is all natural. Nothing artificial is added to the product that in 2007 was cited by BEVNET as the Best Energy Drink on the market. Steaz products can be found in most Home Economist and Whole Foods markets.

 

“We have developed an exceptional relationship with Wholesome Foods and the Healthy Beverage Company, and our employees absolutely love their respective products,” said Key Motorsports Vice President of Operations Rich Rubenstein.

 

“We try to develop new business opportunities to increase sales for all of our product sponsors, and it is easy to promote both Virginia’s Best Water and the Steaz Energy Drink and soda products because of their high quality and taste. We’re thrilled to have both companies back in 2008 supporting our racing efforts,” Rubenstein added.
