Tetley in Australia is kicking of their launch of Cold Infusions with an integrated campaign featuring popular comedian and actor Celia Pacquola asking Australians if they are ‘Thirst Tea?’ Specially created to be brewed with cold water, Tetley Cold Infusions in Strawberry & Watermelon; Raspberry & Cranberry; Orange & Peach and Mint, Lemon & Cucumber flavours are designed to give water a refreshing twist.

The launch targets consumers who find drinking water boring, after a large-scale hydration survey revealed that almost 80% of Australians are dehydrated! The Cold Infusions segment is one of the fastest growing in the tea category, representing 7% of the total tea category in just one year.

Reversing the Australian trend of promoting hydration using models, fitness gurus and influencers, comedian Celia Pacquola, flips the stereotypes in a light-hearted way, encouraging dehydrated Aussies to say, ‘Bye bye boring H20, hello hydration’.

The ‘Thirst Tea?’ campaign, with Celia at its heart, delivers our message in a fun-loving, down-to-earth way that fits with our consumers and the Tetley brand.”
