This is a nice, mildly sweet “chill” tea. I have zero previous experience with kombucha teas, so I don’t have an advanced reference point, but what I’ve noticed from this tea is that it has a slightly tangy, soda-ish bite that almost makes me think back to Pop Rocks. It also has that distinct “red tea” flavor going on. It’s definitely sweet enough without any added sugar, and is surprisingly energizing. I drink this tea at the office in the late afternoon when the slump hits and the cravings for just. about. anything. sweet. kick in.
