Susan and our partner Allen Flavors did an exceptional job in developing the beverage’s flavor. Their effort is why XYIENCE continues to lead the category on flavor.”

Xenergy + Tea is a part of the Xenergy + line that also includes Xenergy + Hydration and Xenergy + Lemonade.  The new Xenergy + line offers the first non-carbonated beverages from XYIENCE, the official energy drink of the UFC. Available in two popular flavors, Raspberry Acai and Honey Ginseng, Xenergy + Tea offers lovers of black and green tea savory options. Using only natural flavors and colors, the beverage is sugar-free, zero calories and has the same proven functional ingredients as original Xenergy Energy (http://www.xyience.com/index.cfm?fa=products.beverages).
