Attention, AriZona Iced Tea fans! The famous brand announced that it may increase the price of its iconic beverages, meaning the cans may no longer cost 99 cents. If you’re a consumer of this product, we’ll tell you from when this increase will take place and what the new price will be.
Why will AriZona increase its prices?
According to Don Vultaggio, president and co-founder of AriZona Beverage Company, this measure is mainly due to tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump, which have been steadily increasing. If the percentage of these tariffs continues to rise, the brand will be forced to adjust the price of its products.

On June 3, President Trump signed an executive order to impose a 50% tariff on all steel and aluminum imports. Vultaggio pointed out that 80% of the metal sheet used for AriZona products is recycled from the United States; however, the other 20% is imported, meaning the taxes would directly impact the production costs of their canned beverages.
What will be the new price of AriZona beverages?
The new price has not yet been disclosed, but president Don Vultaggio assured that they are working to ensure this has the least possible impact on consumers.
When will AriZona beverages increase in price?
The company did not specify when it will take this measure, as it all depends on the behavior of the tariffs.
