 | "A simple, nothing-but-tea-and-clean-water black iced tea... I'd recommend this one over the other preservative-laden mass-market offerings any day."

Most of the ready made Teas on the market are less Tea, and more a Tea based processed drink product. If you look at the ingredient list of your favorite off the shelf bottle of go-go juice it most likely has brewed tea as an ingredient, followed by Tea extract, natural Tea Flavors, Tea Colors, high fructose corn syrup, honey, citric acid, natural flavors, ginseng extract, etc,. If you ask why the need to add all of these things to tea they’d probably tell you its to make it taste like tea… The downside of the food flavoring / food processing industry is that we’ve all been subjected to a severe case of shifting taste-lines. I, like everyone else, drink Arizona Tea, Snapple Tea, and other semi-tea drinks with relish, but if thats all you’ve had something like Tejava is going to taste strange and alien.
Tejava is just Tea, only Tea, made from Javan black tea leaves steeped in Crystal Geyser water. This Tea has two things going for it, one it tastes like a medium quality black tea, two I didn’t have to make it. It comes in a one liter bottle, and shouldn’t be consumed while driving. Its not at all alcoholic but it has a surprising amount of similarity in shape and color to certain popular grain alcohol bottles. On my last cross-state trip I received funny looks from several squad cars, and a very questioning look from a family friend, who also happens to be a police officer, when I stopped at my parents house, and several empty bottles fell from my door. You’d think that the folks who bottle this would have foreseen the issue, but maybe they were consuming the aforementioned grain alcohols at the time.
