We won’t sweet talk you. We’ll just say two words: Epigallocatechin gallate. It may not have the ring of “sweetheart” but EGCG is the most potent antioxidant around, and our organic green tea is packed with it. Sure, we add a kiss of honey to our tea, but not enough to gross you out. If we wanted to do that, we’d tell you that honey is flower nectar that bees regurgitate. Hey, we’re HONEST TEA; we don’t lie.

Tasting Notes:
Steeped Tea Smell: honey, green tea
Flavor: not sweet honey, grassy green tea
Body: Full
Aftertaste: grassy green
Liquor: opaque yellow-brown
This is much more of a full out tea flavor than many iced teas are. It was not very sweet, it was more of a dry honey. I enjoyed it, but it was a bit grassy.
In my opinion this could have used a more of a slap of honey. When I see honey as one of the words in the name I really expect it to be sweet. I didn’t even taste the “tad sweet” that was supposed to be there. Don’t get me wrong the tea isn’t horrible. Just not what I was expecting with the name.
I really can taste the green tea in this and there is a bit of a honey aftertaste. But that’s it just the green tea which as others have mentioned is giving this a veggie taste. Which oddly enough isn’t bad with the salad I got for lunch. I don’t think I will be trying this again. Anyone recommend any of their other teas?
Just rec’d a case from Amazon since I can’t find a) this flavor or b) plastic bottles of Honest Tea around here. I probably should have just made a pitcher of iced green tea with honey from my stash, but I’d been craving this and caved. Must have been a good idea because it really hit the spot after kayaking this morning (on a lake, in NC, in January, in the morning!). I actually drank two bottles in a row. Guess this case won’t last long… This is the only RTD brand of tea I enjoy. The sweetness is just right – about 1/4 the sweetness of the Southern Sweet tea around here, and about 1/2 as sweet as the Luzianne green tea with sugar/& agave that my hubby makes and drinks by the pitcher.
I drank this a couple of hours or so ago. I really taste the green tea and think it’s too vegtal to me either that or honest tea steeped it too long. I taste abit of honey but wished there was alittle more,I do like sugar in my tea,and there was but the green tea was too intense to me. This was decent.
It has just enough sweet to balance the green tea. It’s good for when you’re in a hurry but want a decently flavored green tea on the go.
I tried this a few days back, and I gotta say, I like it better than Lipton’s green tea offerings. I will say however, that if you want a good tasting green tea, you’d be better off seeking (guh!) greener pastures.
