Tesco is taking the lead by being the first major retailer to offer customers a healthier cola by stocking Green Cola in its 309 in-store cafes.

The cafes are addressing consumers' increasing demand for healthier options as Green Cola is the only cola that contains:

NO sugar NO Aspartame NO Phosphoric Acid NO preservatives NO calories

The drink is sweetened with Stevia, a natural plant extract and caffeinated with green coffee beans, which is why it's called Green Cola.

Green Cola was conceived in 2013. It took two years to perfect the recipe and it has been brought to the UK by Green Room Brands after phenomenal success in Greece.

CEO Paul Woodward says: "We are delighted that Tesco are now stocking Green Cola for all its shoppers to enjoy. There is nothing else like Green Cola on the market. Most low calorie colas contain aspartame, an artificial sweetener that many consumers have growing concerns about. Like many retailers, Tesco realise that consumers are demanding more choice when it comes to their desire to a achieve a healthier lifestyle.”

Green Cola will be sold in 500ml PET bottles in Tesco cafes from November this year.

Green Cola is already a massive hit in Greece, Romania, Germany, Ireland and Hong Kong. It has also recently launched in Spain. In the UK, it is currently stocked by Ocado, Amazon, Tesco cafes and artisan food and select coffee shops.
