My latest tea review comes from Revolution Tea. They have a great selection of teas, from organic to fruity blends.
I really picked it up because it has acai. The last tea I had with acai was Good Earth Rooibos tea, which was okay but not great.
Revolution teas are made with whole leaf and you can taste the difference. It never gets too bitter. And the acai combine with other fruit blends give it a nice scent too. I like that I can brew at least 2 cups for one tea bag too. Watch out “Two Leaves & A Bud” there is a new stiff competition in town.
Not only do they make good tea, but the packages are nice and simple too.
“Sencha, the finest Japanese green tea, is blended with the rich, zingy taste of berries for a light, refreshing brew. The flavor of raspberries, black currants and acai, a Brazilian berry bursting with antioxidants, provide a memorable medley.” - Revolution Tea.
More about green tea: the leaves are not fermented. Instead they are withered and steamed. Green tea also contains the most antioxidant compounds, most notably EGCG. It has many health benefits, including cancer-preventative properties.
Another neat thing Revolution Tea is doing is adding these 3D blends - contains super fruits, premium white tea, and essential vitamins. The list of ingredients are good too, especially with pure cane sugar and agave syrup as sweeteners.
But I usually don’t buy bottled tea. Unless I had to chose between this and soda, then it would be bottled tea. I’ve heard that tea looses it’s potency after a day. So it’s always best to brew fresh tea and drink it soon.

I’m not too crazy about tea in the bottle either, I like my tea freshly brewed hot tea. I think up north we drink our tea hot, and when I moved down South, it was odd at the beginning to see they served sweet ice tea in restaurants.

When I think of iced tea, I think of Snapple. I never buy them anymore now.
Have you ever had Boba drinks? They are sweeten tea made with large tapioca balls. I used to love them. Now I prefer cold coffee with grass jelly instead.
