Tasting Notes:
Steeped Tea Smell: honey, sweet, floral
Flavor: honey, sweet floral, is there is green tea in this?
Body: Medium
Aftertaste: citrusy sweet, hint of green tea

I bought this to have with my lunch, sushi, from the company cafeteria. I was expecting a sweetened green bottled tea. I got sweet honey and citrus water with a hint of green tea. I didn’t mind drinking it, but it’s more like a soda or juice than a tea.

I like this tea, but I have to be in the mood for it. It’s awfully sweet and is best when it’s chilled.

Blech. The ingredients show nothing that would give it this flavour, but I could taste something kind of spearmint-y in it. Ugh. It’s sweetened with sugar (yes, regular sugar) but they really use a lot, 25g per serving; it’s very sweet.
