Kroger Shoppers, Get Ready: Coca-Cola's New Sprite + Tea Peach Flavor Is Landing Soon!

There's a sweet, peachy buzz making its way through the aisles of Kroger, and if you're anything like me, your taste buds are already tingling. Coca-Cola, ever the innovator, is gearing up to drop a brand-new, exclusive beverage that's sure to be a summer hit: 'Sprite + Tea Peach.' And get this – it's going to be a limited-time offer, only available at Kroger and its family of supermarkets.

Imagine the crisp, unmistakable fizz of Sprite, that classic lemon-lime kick we all know and love, but then, a delightful curveball. It's infused with the sweet, mellow notes of peach tea. Talk about a refreshing combination! For those keeping an eye on their caffeine intake, good news – it’s entirely caffeine-free, making it perfect for any time of day. And yes, it will be available in both its regular and Zero Sugar versions, so everyone can get in on the peachy goodness.

While an exact 'circle this date' hasn't been officially stamped by Coca-Cola or Kroger just yet, the whispers are getting louder. Sources, including a peek at the Food 4 Less website (which is part of the Kroger family, mind you), point to a 'July' release, with many expecting it to land around the end of the month. It feels like we're on the edge of our seats, doesn't it?

Now, if 'Sprite + Tea' sounds vaguely familiar, you're not wrong. This peachy rendition isn't just a random creation; it's actually building on a wildly popular idea. Believe it or not, the whole 'Sprite + Tea' concept really blew up thanks to a viral TikTok trend. People were literally steeping tea bags right in their Sprite, creating their own fizzy, tea-infused concoctions.

It’s a fantastic example of a company truly listening to its consumers. Kate Schaufelberger, Brand Director for Sprite North America, acknowledged this, saying, "We're always listening to our consumers, but this particular phenomenon motivated us to explore how we could offer our own refreshing take on tea." And A.P. Chaney, Senior Creative Director for Sparkling Flavors North America, even shared that it began as an intern research project – how cool is that?

The original 'Sprite + Tea' – without the peach – first hit the scene in May 2025 in the US and Canada, proving to be such a hit that it returned as a permanent summer seasonal offering just this past May. So, it makes perfect sense that Coca-Cola would want to expand on that success with a new, equally tantalizing flavor profile. This move shows they're not just following trends but actively innovating to give us more of what we crave.

So, as July winds down, keep your eyes peeled during your next grocery run to Kroger, Ralphs, Fry's, King Soopers, or any other store in the Kroger family. This limited-time Sprite + Tea Peach is definitely one to grab before it's gone. Who's ready for a sip of summer?
