Snapple's newest line of functional fruit drinks and teas is a radical departure from its fruit-flavored beverages. Even the bottles of these herbal-enhanced drinks have a New Age look. Elements, as the line is called, has four fruit drinks -- Earth, Sun, Fire and Rain -- and two teas. The fruits are exotic, the herbs meant to refresh the body. For example, Fire is a dragon-fruit drink fortified with ginseng, ginkgo biloba and guarana, natural herbs that are thought to energize the body. Moon tea is a blend of brewed green tea with ginkgo biloba and kava kava.
