Purpose Beverages Tevolution. Thanks to the Tevolution brand of ready-to-drink iced teas, quenching thirst is now both refreshing and charitable. For every 16-ounce bottle sold, Purpose Beverages donates 25 cents to emerging nonprofits. Taking it a step further, each bottle contains a code that consumers can punch in at trackyourimpact.com to see just where their bottle's donation is going. Four varieties include White Tea with Peach, White Tea with Mango, Green Tea with Honey and Black Tea with Lemon. Ingredients include purified water, organic cane sugar, dry-brewed organic tea, natural flavors and juice. trackyourimpact.com Exemplifying what it calls a "branch to the bottle" methodology, Spindrift rushes fresh ingredients to its production facility.

All four variet- ies—Kola, Ginger, Tonic and Club—are made with high-end, organic, natural ingredients; lightly sweetened with organic agave nectar; and packaged in stylish glass bottles. Unlike other modern colas, Q Kola, the newest product in the line, contains real kola nut, cinnamon, cloves, coriander, lemon, lime, orange and nutmeg, and no corn syrup or sugar. Complex and subtly spicy, each bottle has only 70 calories. qdrinks.com Spindrift Water. Spindrift's new flavored waters taste truly homemade. Each flavor includes fresh-squeezed fruit or berry puree (with pulp) plus triple-purified sparkling water. What you won't find are any sweeteners.
