Pure Leaf Brewed Tea, Real, Tea & Lemonade 18.5 fl oz

Pure Leaf Brewed Tea, Tea & Lemonade in the 18.5 fl oz bottle reads like a summertime convenience item: a chilled, ready-to-drink bottled iced tea with a clear lemon edge. In the store you’d typically find it in the refrigerated beverage case near other bottled iced teas, lemonades, flavored waters and grab-and-go juices, often stacked beside single-serve kombuchas and sports drinks. It fits casual shopping trips — pick-up for a backyard barbecue, a park picnic, a road-trip cooler, or a quick lunch on the go. The brand leans on a crafted-but-accessible positioning: marketed to adults who want a “real brewed” image without the time to make tea at home, with visual cues that suggest authenticity, sunshine and refreshment; the demographic skews broad from young adults to middle-aged shoppers seeking familiar flavors. Label claims emphasize “real brewed tea” and include Rainforest Alliance certification on the tea ingredient, plus “natural flavor,” which creates a health-halo despite the product being sweetened. There’s no organic claim; the packaging is a clear PET bottle with a modern, rustic label design. In plain terms this is a processed, ready-to-drink product made from brewed tea with added sugar, lemon concentrate and flavorings. Sensory notes: cold, bright lemon aroma up front, sweet mid-palate from 38 g of sugar, the black tea brings a slight astringent bitterness, and citrus pectin adds a touch of body so the mouthfeel feels a little thicker than plain water. Rituals: grabbed from a cooler, sipped between errands, poured over ice at a picnic or taken straight from the bottle on a sunny afternoon.
