Fuze: Orange blossom white tea

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

Fuze White TeaFuze has one of the most decorative bottle labels I’ve ever seen. They don’t waste any real estate on the bottle letting the consumer know exactly what to expect.

Let me start with some of the highlights on the bottle label: Polyphenols - 130mg, Folic Acid 225mcg, Vitamin C - 135mg, Vitmain E - 17 IU and Vitamin B Complex - 36mg (B3 - B5, B6 - B12). Contains equal antixoidant capacity as 2 servings of vegetables per bottle. Measured by Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (*ORAC).

The flavor of the beverage is almost juice-like. It has a tangy orange flavor with a sweet aftertaste. It’s very smooth with no carbonation. The white tea flavor is very light; therefore, if you enjoy a strong and authentic flavored white tea, you’ll be slightly disappointed. The dominant flavor is easily the orange-ginger. It’s a very flavorful beverage. If you like sweet-orange flavored RTDs (ready-to-drink), you’ll like this one. I was very happy with the overall flavor…other than the fact that it might be too sweet for some. Fuze’s orange blossom white tea is a beverage that both kids and adults will enjoy. The bottle contains 18 fluid ounces. The nutritional facts state: 120 calories per bottle and 30g of Sugar per bottle.

Fuze: Green tea with honey

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

Fuze Green TeaMy wife could not resist buying this bottled tea for me. It’s from a beverage company called Fuze. The bottle labeling is very busy to say the least. I’ll try to knock-out some of the specs on the bottle.

1.) Green tea with Honey and Ginseng, Natural Antioxidants and Vitamins C, E, B2, B5, B6, and B12.

2.) Equivalent to 2 servings of vegetables per bottle. Measured by Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC)

3.) No preservatives, no artificial colors, no artificial flavors

4.) I could go on and on. I’ve never seen this much labeling on one bottle.

Let’s discuss the flavor: First off, it does not have a strong green tea flavor. You can taste a hint of green tea, but the primary flavor is honey. It tastes very sweet. That said, it tastes very good. The color of the beverage is very light - almost lemonade like. I was actually surprised by the sweet flavor until I found the label that states it packs 16g of sugar per 8 fluid ounces. The bottle has a total of 18 fluid ounces of flavored green tea. It really does taste good. It’s something I would grab again as a substitute for a carbonated beverage. If it’s as healthy as the label makes it out to be, you should definitely try it. If you are avoiding sugar, you may want to skip this one.
