GURU – Iced Tea Energy Drink Review

What does iced tea-energy drink equal?  That's right, PARTY!!

What does iced tea-energy drink equal? That's right, PARTY!!

Having completely given up hope that I can avoid buying energy drinks with the enticing ‘natural’ or ‘organic’ markings on them, I snatch up anything I can find that fits within our guidelines and chug it down unheeded, after I take an appropriate picture, of course.

GURU produces a line of energy drinks they claim are 100% natural AND organic.  Good for them.  I have chosen to review their Green Tea Honey-Lemon 100% Natural Energy Drink.  That’s a mouthful.  No carbonation or HFCS in this particular beverage, and the bright green can is very appealing and easy to spot.

It smells pretty much like nothing.  A little honey-tea whiff, and that’s it.  But how does this actually taste?  Well, like some kind of lemon-herb cough-drop, actually.  It tastes suspiciously of instant tea, and the citrus taste combines with the energy additives to cover any hint of honey.  The energy boost is definitely there, coming in smooth and it doesn’t give you the shakes.

Yet the taste still throws it off balance, leaving a sour aftertaste that doesn’t go away, like that rash you have.  You know what I’m talking about.  Use the salve your doctor prescribed.  Any how, I could drink this once in a while, and I might get used to it, but I don’t know if it’s worth it for me.  Besides, I hear their other flavors are better.

*Note: I am in no way linking GURU to the Communist Party, merely myself for wearing the shirt.*

Score: 3 out of 5. Too much medicine-y energy-drink taste, but good on the energy.

    I don’t know if Guru will appreciate being part of that particular party. Then again, maybe they will.
