Tejava

I don’t venture into bottled teas often, but this one deserves a mention. According to the label, there’s Java tea leaves and there’s water and that’s that—no unwanted accoutrements. Brassy; not much of a bass line, but still strong enough to suit builders tea preferences. Will hunt it out next time I need a cold to-go.

I saw this for the first time today at the supermarket near my office. It’s a bottled tea, and it was set out on a shelf, unrefrigerated. The weather has turned hot, and there’s no refrigerator in my office. I thought about it, then stashed one bottle behind some larger refrigerated coffee bottles. I came back over an hour later, and it was still there, and nicely chilled!

It’s a very light tea at the beginning of the sip, and then the roasty flavor hits mid-sip, with perhaps a hint of mugicha. And then I’m sitting with a family at a road stop in southern Japan in the summer, cooling off with a refreshing beverage much like this one. And then there’s a citrus note at the end of the sip. I will be buying more of this.

This is some of the best tea I have ever tried. Granted I only recently got into trying other teas but this by far some of the best.
It has a smooth that with a pleasant aftertaste. Not acidic or bitter
