PURCHASE, N.Y., May 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — To celebrate its new 100% Natural line, Lipton® Iced Tea, a product of the Pepsi Lipton Tea Partnership, has teamed up with PANDORA® internet radio to treat tea drinkers to a unique look at music via its “The Natural Side of Music” summer-long program.
The program, which will allow tea and music lovers to experience music in an unplugged, natural way, will kick off with a private acoustic concert by Train for a lucky group of fans on May 20. Fans are encouraged to “like” Facebook.com/LiptonIcedTea for a chance win these exclusive tickets.
“We created 100% Natural Lipton Iced Tea because we believe that the ultimate iced tea refreshment starts with great tea and simple, natural ingredients,” says Mary Barnard, Vice President and General Manager of the Pepsi Lipton Tea Partnership. “You could say the same is true with an acoustic performance that showcases the raw and natural talent of a musical artist.
