Honest Tea – Organic Lemon Black Tea Review
Yay! Another bad picture!
This may not seem like the Honest truth, but we have not intentionally gone out of our way to review so many HonestTea flavors, it just happened. They are delicious, healthier and earned their spot on our 2008 Top 10 list. Another one, which I received for my birthday a few months ago remained at the back of the rotation until recently. Needing a pick-me-up on this wearisome Friday, out it came from its frigid prison.
I have always found the smell of iced teas to be pleasant, particularly freshly brewed tea. This comes close, giving off a rich, earthy aroma hinting at the light sweetness. A wash of chilled tea makes my tongue very happy here, the small amount of sugar keeps from covering up the taste of the tea, but also adds sweetness and cancels the bitterness of the tea leaves. The lemon is faint, but adds a touch of sour to even out the taste-bud barrage. This is about as good as it gets coming out of a bottle.
The 16.9 oz tea contains only 85 calories and 22 g of sugar. For those of you counting, that’s much less than the 39 in 12 oz of Coke, and far less that the 48 g in a 12 oz can of Lipton Brisk Iced Tea. And it tastes much better. And for less than two dollars? If you like iced tea but hate the loads of sugar, this is for you.
Score: 5 out of 5. Hits the spot, and the mark.
