About Taboo Tea

Own Your Taboo.

Most brands are built on aspiration. Taboo Tea is built on recognition. A small indulgence, a quiet preference, a personal choice that requires no one else's approval.

Everyone's got one.
Nobody needs to explain it.

For adults who live by their own rules, Taboo Tea is a Non-Alcoholic Social Elixir, botanically crafted with zero apologies.

Because some of the best feelings start with something a little Taboo.

Sound Bite Inspiration

These aren't scripts. They're inspiration to help you tell the story in your own voice.

Tampa Bay Gets It First

  • "Tampa Bay, we're getting Taboo Tea first."
  • "Taboo Tea is officially launching in Tampa Bay, and I'm one of the first to try it."
  • "Tampa Bay is the first market for Taboo Tea, starting with St. Pete and Clearwater."
  • "Consider this your first look at Taboo Tea."
  • "This hasn't officially hit stores yet, and I got an early taste."
  • "Taboo Tea is making its Tampa Bay debut, starting with St. Pete and Clearwater."
  • "If you're in St. Pete or Clearwater, keep an eye out because Taboo Tea is starting to roll out at convenience stores across the peninsula."
  • "I'm getting an early taste of Taboo Tea before it starts hitting convenience stores around St. Pete and Clearwater."

Introducing Taboo Tea

  • "It's called Taboo Tea, and it's not your typical canned tea."
  • "It's a non-alcoholic social elixir."
  • "Zero alcohol. Zero apologies."
  • "This is the drink you don't have to explain."
  • "Everyone's got one. This one's mine."
  • "Some of the best things are a little Taboo."

What's Your Taboo?

We love the idea of making the campaign personal by answering:

"Everyone's got a Taboo. What's yours?"

It can be funny, relatable, unexpected or completely specific to you.

"My Taboo? Cancelling plans and being thrilled about it."

"My Taboo? Ordering dessert before dinner."

"My Taboo? Leaving the group chat on read."

"My Taboo? Going back to the restaurant I said I'd never go to again."

"My Taboo? I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours."

"Everyone's got one. Mine just happens to come in a can."

Capture Your First Sip

We'd love to see your real first reaction to both Peach and Lemon.

Which flavor wins?

There is no required reaction or opinion. Your experience and flavor preference should always be genuine.
