Honestly, I truely loved the green tea anteadote, but it could just be that it is not a green tea that you prefer. I believe that they use dragonwell for the green tea drink, so maybe that isn't a green that you like?

I've tried them all in the last few days...
... and I'm surprised. They're all quite good, but I'm surprised because when I drink hot tea, I prefer black tea (earl grey mostly) and white tea. This Anteadote? My favorites are the green and the jasmine! As much as I want to like hot green tea, I just can't get into it. But, this Anteadote Green is AWESOME! And, conversely, I don't care for the white or black as much, but they're still good in a pinch.
Now, here's the thing: I haven't chilled mine. I've been drinking them at room temperature and they are absolutely DELICIOUS. I'm ordering a case of the jasmine this week, and may have to order a case of the green as well. Try it at room temp maybe, instead?

I still have yet to try the black and white...and I am not a fan of jasmine in anything.. so that one is out of the picture. I think that anTEAdote is a cool concept, I would just rather make fresh tea at home when I can. Still nice to have a bottle made up for you when you don't feel like making tea yourself.

I personally love the idea of the unsweetened tea. For two reasons actually; the first is that tea doesn't usually need to be sweetened. The second is most mainstream companies add unusually high amounts of honey to their teas because it doesn't separate and sink to the bottom of the bottle as fast. Problem here is that I'm allergic to honey and can't have anything containing it, so almost all bottled teas are outlawed for me.
Life is like a cup of tea, savor it slowly or it will be gone too fast
I have a friend who's allergic to honey as well! Have you tried the "Vegan honey" that they sell? It's cactus nectar...it tastes very similar to honey; the main difference is it's much thinner. But if you're just putting it into a tea or something like that it won't matter since it dissolves anyway.

Agave cactus (did I spell that right?). It's the same stuff they make tequila out of, well the good tequilas. Don't drink it if it's not marked 100% agave!Richard wrote:I have a friend who's allergic to honey as well! Have you tried the "Vegan honey" that they sell?

Hehehe. I can just see someone adding tequila to their tea instead of agave nectar!
Never trust a man who, when left alone in a room with a tea cozy, dosn't try it on.
