I’ve done a few blogs about The REPUBLIC of TEA’s ready-to-drink beverages.  I’m very impressed with their attention to detail. The curvy bottles are not only stylish, they contain a beverage that is fresh, flavorful, and refreshing.  The glass bottled teas make excellent gifts. I think they’re great to serve during a formal dinner with family or friends.  It’s a premium product.  In my stocking this past Christmas, I found my first plastic bottled RTD tea from The REPUBLIC of TEA.  It’s smaller than the glass bottles.  The glass bottles contain 16.9 oz, and the plastic bottles contain 12 oz. If you’re watching calories, you’re in luck. These beverages are totally unsweetened.

The Raspberry Quince was a flavor that I didn’t personally pick-out. So I wasn’t sure I would like it as much as the other teas. When I opened the bottle, I could smell the natural sweetness coming from the fruit and tea combination. The water that is used for this tea is so pure. The raspberry flavor was subtle yet present in every drink. The black tea flavor balanced the beverage. The black tea had a classic Ceylon flavor to it. I really couldn’t detect the quince flavor and to be honest I haven’t had many foods or beverages flavored with quince. The Raspberry Quince was just another excellent selection offered by The REPUBLIC of TEA.

Moving on to the Acai Green Tea…The aroma of the acai hits you immediately. The berry flavor was both sweet and slightly bitter. Acai reminds me of a mix between a blueberry and a grape. The color of the green tea was a bright red-violet. Although I found this beverage to be refreshing, it did lack a tea identity. I could not detect the green tea. The berry flavor was welcomed, but I was looking forward to at least a hint of green tea.

It’s amazing how these beverages taste so good without any sweetener. The beverages may not be as authentic as a homemade iced tea made from loose leaf tea, but the beverage certainly has its place in the RTD market. The premium product demands attention and delivers with its quality.
