I love bottled iced tea. I don’t know why, exactly, but I LOVE cold, sweetened tea…when it’s out of a bottle.
And this…this is the best. So many RTD iced teas are absurdly sweet; they taste good, but not like tea. I like that Honest Tea doesn’t overload, and even has teas that are entirely unsweetened. This blend in particular is well-balanced. It tastes like white tea, and peach, and just a hint of sweet, as it should be. All the flavors come together and none overpower.
22-year-old tea enthusiast (of course), attemping to try new things and expand my horizons. I use lots of slightly unusual, sometimes synesthetic words to describe tea, and normally it involves hand motions…online I will have to make do with scare quotes and odd punctuation. I am actually literate, I promise.
A note on my reviews: I try to be as descriptive as possible in the word portion of the reviews. I don’t think it counts as being entirely objective, but I try. The numbers, however, are a little more subjective. There are perfectly good teas that I may rate low in number because compared to what I normally like, it’s not deserving of a higher score. So perhaps more weight should be given to my words than my numbers.
“Teaism is a cult founded on the adoration of the beautiful among the sordid facts of everyday existence. [It] is more than an idealization of the form of drinking; it is a religion of the art of life.”
