“We were excited to add Hi*T to our portfolio due to the large number of 18-24 year-old consumers throughout Central New York looking for a fresh new beverage that fits their lifestyle,” said Joseph Testani Jr., of Rocco J. Testani Distributors of Binghamton, NY.
“Mr. Newman’s talents for promotion and marketing combined with our distribution expertise will result in significant volume for us and our customers throughout the Tri-State Region,” said Tom McGraith, President of McGraith Beverages/High Peak Distributing LLC of New York.
Newman, who guided Riddick Bowe to the Undisputed World Heavyweight Championship of Boxing said of Hi*T, the WORLD’S ORIGINAL USDA CERTIFIED ORGANIC HEMP TEA BEVERAGE, “this incredible drink will soon become the undisputed heavyweight champion of iced tea. “The task of providing hemp tea in a can, and getting it certified USDA Organic was an awesome challenge. But now that this product is on store shelves, consumers have the freedom to sip a hit of pleasure at their leisure.”
Hi*T, developed by Amsterdam-based international businessman Paul Tisera is expected to highly benefit from the promotional, marketing and management expertise of Mr. Newman, who discovered it on a trip to Bermuda where he was hosting Alicia Keys and Beyonce as performers at the 2008 Bermuda Music Festival of which he was the Executive Producer.
