Premium Iced Tea .Tejava
January 28, 2007 at 5:53 pm | In Assam, Black Tea, RTD Bottled Tea, Tea Reviews |
This is a black tea grown in Java, brewed in California (as per their website).
its unsweetened 
yay!, a US made tea that keeps it real!
and look no bullsh*t on the label (sofar) … no ‘organic’ , no ‘all natural’ , no ‘10000mg flavonoids’ yay #2 !
it does say that there are no preservatives or anything artificial, so that’s good 
Cost: low for a RTD tea ~ $1.4 /1L (compared to $1.8 /0.5L as other RTD teas are priced).
Available at most supermarkets (its owned by the Crystal Geyser corp)(that’s in CA, in NY its only at TraderJoes…)
Taste: its TEA with: moderate astringency first, upon swallow flavor appears as a black tea sort of an assam flavor with a little specific taste but i dont know of what (maybe a fruit). lingering astringency aftertaste in the back of the throat with a bit of a dryness sensation (as is most black tea astringency.)
Overall: good product, i’d buy it again (i haven’t found another black tea as this one yet).

It tastes as if it has aged for a day. Let a Lipton’s type black tea sit for a day in a warm temperature and it will acquire this taste. Strange but true.

mmm… no?
.
these do sit for days non-refrigerated until the cap is opened,
.
after its opened it indeed doesn’t last too long, unless refrigerated - it could go for about 1 week(depending on temperature and contaminating bacteria)-this applies to most beverages without much preservatives…
.
lipton doesn’t taste as good as this tea in any way. lipton barely resembles real tea taste.

Oh yes very good. One of the few bottled iced teas worth drinking. I usually buy it at Trader Joes in Chicagoland.
