It's been a whirlwind few months at Riviera Iced Tea HQ, and we wanted to take a moment to share some exciting news.

Growing the Team

We're thrilled to welcome Nicola to the team as our new Sales Executive. Bringing her on board marks a big step for us — our first dedicated hire in sales and our first official employee — she's already making an impact. If you're a retailer or wholesaler and you've heard from us recently, chances are you've spoken to Nicola.

New Partnerships

Things have been moving quickly on the wholesale front. We've onboarded three new wholesalers already this year, which means Riviera Iced Tea is becoming easier to find than ever. Alongside that, we've welcomed a wave of new stockists across the country — independent cafés, delis, and farm shops who share our love for quality drinks done properly.

Record-Breaking Start to Summer

Our first event of the summer exceeded all expectations — we doubled our sales compared to last year. Seeing so many people discover (and rediscover) Riviera Iced Tea in person reminded us why we started this in the first place.

Going International

Here's one we still can't quite believe: we've started exporting. Riviera Iced Tea is officially crossing borders. It's early days, but a genuinely surreal moment for a small business founded in Newark.

Still Us, Still Small, Still Grateful

For all these firsts, we're still the same small team, still working out of Newark, still pinching ourselves that this is real. None of it happens without the support of the people who buy our tea, stock our bottles, and spread the word. Thank you— genuinely.

What's Next

We're not slowing down. Our focus now is making Riviera Iced Tea more accessible to you — more stockists, more locations, and bigger plans for retail. Watch this space.

Here's to a summer of cold drinks and new adventures.
