I saw a can of this RTD tea yesterday and I bought it right away. I saw well-known brand, so I thought it won’t be bad.
I haven’t checked the ingredients in the shop; but maybe I should next time.
First of all, it contains sugar. That’s not surprising, but me, who likes tea without any sweetener, it is a little dismal. Truth is that the amount is lower than expected; and maybe better sugar than artificial sweeteners or stevia.
Secondly, they claim it is Ceylon green tea. That’s not suprising either, as Dilmah is a brand from Sri Lanka. But Ceylon green teas were usually a miss for me.
But, well, I was drinking it and something was wrong. It is refreshing, jasmine is there, but a little bit hidden… not sure if is because of sugar, and it taste indeed like a green tea. But that aftertaste is weird, but what is it. I found out when I was finishing the can. It is like you used boiling water for a green tea. That creeping bitterness, which is very unwelcomed in green tea. Such a shame; it ruins the experience!
What a disappointment!
