TasTEA Time! Made! 10 calorie cranberry lemon green tea

It's so hot here.  Like over 90 degrees hot, which is pretty much as hot as it gets in PA.  I'm not shy to making hot tea in this weather, but right now I don't care.  I don't want to drink something that's over 100 degrees when I want to stay in temperatures below 70.  Just ignore that hot coffee review I'm posting after.  Here's a cranberry iced tea review!



Outsides:  It's in a plastic bottle, presumably PET.  The stuff looks like yellowish cranberry juice and smells like a light cranberry juice.

Insides:  It immediately hits you with the bitterness of the cranberry juice but once you taste it, isn't as strong or thick.  There isn't much of the lemon flavor, but it could just be mingling with the cranberry.  The best way to describe it is one of those cranberry juice cocktails, except not as sweet and with a very light, refreshing flavor that comes from the green tea.  It's actually really good if you like cranberry.  Oh, and that cranberry taste completely obliterates any sweetener flavors too because I couldn't tell there were any in here.

Overall:   I like it.  I'm sure even if you don't, you could mix it up with some booze and go to town.  Plus it's 10 calories, so it's great for people who are STILL looking out for their beach bodies.

My Rating:  Buy it!  Here's the site.

TasTEA Time! Made! 10 calorie Pomegranate Blueberry Green Tea


Oh bottled teas.  Why are you usually too sweet?  Tea's supposed to be healthy for you, and yet you make it the non-carbonated cousin to soda.  One of the advantages of Made is that it's organic, and that'll bring up the chance that it's actually good and not overly sugary.  Another advantage is that it's diet, which still means nothing except maybe this tea won't go straight to my thighs.  Plus it's blueberry and pomegranate, two flavors that have to be good.

Outsides:  I think this is a PET bottle, or at the very least, one without BPA.  The tea itself is kind of this brownish reddish color, darker than normal green tea but that's probably the juice.  You can smell the blueberry and tea, though it's not as pungent as hot tea.

Insides:  It's actually not that overly sweet.  I mean, Sucralose was the last ingredient but you barely get that sweetener taste to it.  The fruit flavors come though nicely and have a pretty nice balance with the tea.  It's pretty refreshing and I'm even drinking it warm. 

Overall:  It's not the BEST bottled tea out there, but if it's cheap and in a fridge at your local 7-11, you should get it.  Hell, I prefer it to the Giant Peach Tazo.

My Rating:  Buy it!  Here's the site.  I'll probably be reviewing the Cranberry Lemon Green Tea soon.
