I’m glad Nestle found a good use for all the bad, as in very weak and bad tasting, batches of tea they made!
I however, wont be fooled again. I ran into the store thirsty and wanting some green tea and mistakenly grabbed the new tea product! It tasted terrible.
My coworker said “oh I guess it’s tea flavored water” to which I responded, “what the bleep do you think tea is? Flavored water!!!!!” Except it’s supposed to be a certain strength!!! I know this has to irritate other tea lovers out there although I guess the tea snobs would never drink a cold tea from a bottle or Arizona tea anyway. So, my guess is that some marketing genius out there is trying to be like the post-it dude who re purposed the weak glue… and came up with tea water idea!! But this time its a miss with me. YUCK!!!!!!!

This is a shady idea and worst tasting product!!!
I thought I’d add that my favorite cold green tea in a bottle is Oi Ocha, Japan’s #1 Green Tea. It is unsweetened and no bad chemicals. If you need it to be sewwt, just add stevia or the sewwtner of your choice. I have learned to drink good quality tea without any sugar or sweeter and it taste very good and refreshing to me. My personal theory is that we all have trouble consuming the proper amount of water and so we humans have developed ways to make drinking water better. The most simple being water with lemon. Then came tea. Tea leaves steeped in hot water and then cooled and sometimes sweetened. It’s not that complicated. So my advise is to support the tea makers that don’t pollute you while your trying to do something good for yourself. I’m just saying!!! So keep tea, tea, and flavored water, flavored water but not tea flavored water because it’s stupid and taste like crap.
The good stuff!!!
My mother knows that I like to try new drinks especially green tea drinks, so when she went grocery shopping today and saw the Arizona Tea Water – Organic Green Tea Yumberry she thought I would love to try it…when she came home she handed it to me and I thought the bottle looked pretty cool so I was expecting some green tea goodness (in my mind cool bottle generally equates to good taste) but lo and behold I almost gagged as I drank the first sip…I was going to throw it away but then decided to add sugar to it to see if it would taste better…after adding 4 teaspoons of sugar, I can say that it’s not too bad…although I can stomach it now I would never buy this for myself if I am out and about…but if my mother bought it for me again I would drink it after adding sugar to it…
