Totally Light Tea-2-Go Blueberry White Tea

J-Lam Says:

What? That’s a really long name, and unfortunately nothing about the name of this product really fits. Except maybe that huge “sugar-free” label on top which automatically forces me to assume it’s nasty. I did not disappoint myself.

But let me go back to the title. It says “Totally Light” but the flavor is, in fact, pretty in-your-face and not real pleasant. Now I don’t doubt that there really is tea in there, and it’s quite possibly white tea. It can even be said to be “to go” if you put it in something safer than the open Styrofoam cup I took with me on my motorcycle. (Note to self: that didn’t work out too well. Don’t do it again.)

But the big problem with all these claims is summed up in the “Blueberry” part. See, it’s yellow. And… it doesn’t taste like blueberries, or like tea for that matter.

What it does taste like is flat, watered-down diet soda of some kind.

TURD

I would drink it! It’s very light and refreshing. It doesn’t really taste like iced tea, but it’s a nice break from the standard iced tea or lemonade thing.

TERRIFIC

When I walked in the door, the first thing I heard my girlfriend say was, not “hey, honey, how was your day” or “can you help me cut the veggies for the salad” or even “God, you look so HOT today!” Instead, what I’m greeted with is “I tried that drink mix you brought home.” I replied, “how’d you like it?” She said, “I think you should take it to work.” Now, that could have meant a lot of things, but I’m taking it as a recommendation to pass it around and blog it.

This drink mix is sugar-free, and uses Splenda, which is always a plus in my book. But, it’s also why my girlfriend didn’t like it. She’s sweet tea all the way, with real sugar, just the way God created it. I, on the other hand, LOVE stuff made with Splenda.

The packet says to add it to a 16.9-ounce bottle of water. I doubled the water, and didn’t shake the packet, and it was great. Nice and light. I enjoyed it immensely. Does it taste like blueberry? No. But it does taste fruity. And you know I like fruity.

TERRIFIC
