What You Should Know

You'd spot this bottled hibiscus blackberry tea in the chilled grab-and-go section or on a sunny picnic blanket — a fruity, organic-branded iced tea positioned as a healthier alternative to soda. It feels wholesome and a little indulgent: refreshing and nostalgic like iced tea on a summer afternoon, but noticeably sweet. The ready-to-drink format plus added agave syrup, juice concentrate and a "natural flavor" signal industrial formulation and flavoring typical of highly processed beverages.
