Wipeout Beverages Launches Functional Ready-to-Drink Tea Brand

PRESS RELEASE — NEWS PROVIDED BY Richard Araujo for Wipeout Beverages

AUSTIN, TX (JUNE 2026) – Wipeout Beverages Company today announced the June 2026 launch of its
ready-to-drink functional tea brand, debuting via online, DTC and southern Gulf Coast region retail with three core flavors: Sweet Tea, Half-Pipe™ Lemonade + Tea, and Unsweetened Black Tea. Founded in Austin by a team with decades of experience building and scaling major consumer packaged goods brands, Wipeout delivers clean energy, real brewed tea, and a lifestyle brand identity built for the next generation of active, health-conscious consumers.

All three SKUs launch in 16oz aluminum cans, combining brewed tea with 160mg of clean caffeine sourced from green tea plus 100% daily value of essential B vitamins. Sweet Tea reimagines the Southern classic with real cane sugar and bold tea flavor. Half-Pipe is a vibrant lemonade-tea fusion built for adventurous tea drinkers. Unsweetened Black Tea delivers clean, crisp refreshment with zero sugar and zero compromise. Every product is brewed from all natural ingredients, co-packed domestically, and ships in 12-pack trays built for strong retail presence and fast sell-through.

Wipeout enters the category with a clear lane: real brewed tea with clean energy positioned at the intersection of the functional beverage boom and the premium iced tea shelf. The brand competes on ingredients, taste, and identity in a category where most options are either loaded with sugar or stripped of real ingredients and flavor. The company’s roadmap includes expanded multi-state distribution, additional flavor innovation, and community-driven activations including grassroots sampling, festival partnerships, and environmental initiatives.
