Honesty : Delicious Tea

Written by Snackblog



I've known quite a few people who just can't drink tea out of a bottle. It's not an ethical thing, like drinking blood out of babies, or drinking babies out of, bigger babies. They just don't do it. With all the Snapple's and Lipton's out on the market, one could blindly buy bottled teas and always end up with a bottle of awful in their hand. After numerous traumatic drinks, it's simply a matter of association.

To those that have been afflicted with this bottle tea phobia, please, work on it, work it out, pull through. I promise there is something better.




Notes on Honest Tea:

- All of the fruit sweetened teas actually still taste like tea
- All of the teas taste very clean, and don't taste awful
- Better than drinking Liquid Awful

Notes on Snapple/Lipton:

- All of the fruit sweetened teas contain less than 2% of tea
- All of the teas taste like bagged tea where you left the bag in for too long, like a couple days, outside, and so now it's mostly rainwater
- Less than or equal to Liquid Awful

My personal favorite is the Mango White Tea, which is one of the sweeter teas in the line. Their Pearfect White Tea was elected as BevNet.com's RTD Tea of the Year, and I do nod my head in approval.




To be honest (heh) I have not tried their full line yet, but I definitely intend to. Every drink I have tried from the Honest Tea company, so far, has been nothing less than exceptional.

Expect more reviews about this fine company.

Where to find Honest Tea:
- Whole Foods
- Try smaller, more high end groceries, especially ones that stock a lot of organic food.
- Cool cafes
- The internet

Madvillain - All Caps

but i can't think of anything so WHERE DID THE RAP GO? maybe you should add it to the essential reader.

I'm planning to actually get it recorded in the near future. When? I don't know, but it'll happen eventually.
