Most iced tea companies we knew were making drinks packed with artificial flavors, sweeteners, and additives, but we noticed something was missing—real, honest fruit flavor. You could grab a bottle or can from any store or online, but the taste often felt flat or extremely sweet, and the ingredients left us wondering what we were really drinking. If you wanted a truly fresh iced tea with natural fruit, you’d have to make it at home, which took time, effort, and money—and it wasn’t something you could enjoy every day.

That frustration sparked an idea for our small team. We dreamed of a simple way to enjoy pure, natural fruit flavors in every sip. At Vital Bombs, we’re a close-knit group on a mission to brighten your day with our freeze-dried fruit tea cubes—real fruit in a convenient, portable form that turns water into a refreshing, authentic iced tea, sweetened naturally.

After lots of experimenting and a few kitchen messes, we discovered a way to use freeze-dried fruit—locking in the vibrant taste of passion fruit, lemons, and peaches—making it easy to enjoy a delicious, homemade-quality iced tea anytime, anywhere. Vital Bombs was born from that passion for real flavors and convenience, offering an affordable way to savor nature’s goodness, whether you’re relaxing at home or out exploring.

Regular flavored iced tea often contains artificial flavors, high sugar (14–16 teaspoons daily for Australians, close to the U.S.’s 17), and additives, contributing to 184,000 yearly deaths from diabetes, heart disease, and obesity, while offering flat taste and limited convenience. In contrast, Vital Bombs’ freeze-dried fruit iced tea uses real, nutrient-rich fruit with stevioside as a natural sweetener or no sugar, delivering vibrant, authentic flavor and lasting energy in portable, affordable cubes you can enjoy anytime. Why settle for sugary, artificial drinks when you can sip something healthier and truly refreshing?

What Is Freeze-Dried Fruit?

Freeze-dried fruit is a preservation method that transforms fresh fruit into a lightweight, crunchy, and intensely flavorful version of itself while retaining nearly all of its nutritional value. The process begins by freezing the fruit at extremely low temperatures, typically below -40°F (-40°C), to lock in its natural moisture. Once frozen, the fruit is placed in a vacuum chamber where the ice is sublimated—meaning it turns directly from solid ice into vapor—without melting into liquid water. This gentle removal of water preserves the fruit’s structure, color, and nutrients, leaving behind a dry, porous product that looks and tastes remarkably similar to fresh fruit. Freeze-dried fruit has a long shelf life (often up to 25 years if stored properly) and doesn’t require refrigeration, making it incredibly versatile for snacks, ingredients, or innovative products like tea.The result is a fruit that’s lightweight, easy to store, and packed with concentrated flavor and nutrients—perfect for those who want the taste and goodness of fresh fruit without the perishability or bulk. It retains vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, offering a healthy, natural option that’s far removed from artificial alternatives.
