The title of this blog might be a bit much, but this tea honestly exceeded my expectations. I was super thirsty this weekend after scorching in the yard all afternoon transplanting shrubs in front of my house. When I came in to cool off, I grabbed a bottle of Honest Tea (thanks to my lovely grocery guru – did you know shopping was a sport?). Anyway, the bottle has a cool USDA Organic lid. I’m not sure why I thought that was cool, but someone smarter than me most likely thought it would appeal to me. They were right. So, I have this ice-cold bottle of tea I’m about to drink for the first time. I knew it was white tea. I knew it was mango flavored. In addition, it’s flavored with Acai (pronounced “ah-si-ee”). According to the bottle, acai is a substantially harvested fruit from the Amazon rainforest. It’s always fun to try new things… On the bottle, it’s labeled as “A Tad Sweet.” I had no idea what to expect. So, I gave the bottle a good shaking and popped the seal of the lid. I have to say this was excellent. Turns out a tad sweet means about 18g of sugar per 16 fluid ounces. It’s important to note that the “sugar” is organic cane sugar. What impressed me was the authentic white tea base of the beverage. I felt that the fruit flavors centered around the white tea rather than the tea being drowned out by the fruit flavors. If you want to try white tea, but you are unsure of what to expect, this is a great way to start. The product has a very fresh white tea flavor to it. It reminds me of a lot of flavored loose leaf white teas I’ve tried.
