Gold Peak Tea Brings the Taste of Home to “Sunday Best”
As season six of the nation’s #1 gospel talent competition kicks off, Gold Peak Tea brews up refreshment for contestants, judges and the whole family
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Gold Peak Tea is a must-have at Sunday afternoon BBQs – and now it’s the perfect refreshment for Sunday night entertainment as well. Across the nation, families will gather in their living rooms for the return of BET’s award-winning gospel singing competition, “Sunday Best,” which airs Sundays at 8p/7c. What better complement to this weekly family event than the home-brewed taste of Gold Peak Tea?
Grammy Award-winning music legend Kirk Franklin is returning to host the sizzling sixth season, which promises awe-inspiring performances and special guest appearances.
Twenty contestants selected from auditions nationwide will contend to become the next big voice in gospel music.
“As the contestants spend nine weeks away from their homes and families competing on ‘Sunday Best,’ Gold Peak will give them a taste of the home-brewed comfort they’ll miss,” said Seth Freeman, Senior Brand Manager for Gold Peak Tea at The Coca-Cola Company. “We are excited to support the amazing talent that comes out of this year’s competition.”
After each episode, Gold Peak will take viewers “Behind the Stage” online for an exclusive look into the search for gospel’s newest star. Contestants, judges and guests will share their experiences with BET.com as they refresh with Gold Peak Tea.
The nine-week series will conclude with the crowning of the “Sunday Best” victor, who receives a national recording contract with Fo Yo Soul / RCA Records, a brand new Ford Fusion and a cash prize.
