Tetley “artificial” Infusion

August 9, 2009 in Drinks

Ok so as mentioned before, ever since working for a tea company, I am out to try everything tea that’s out there.  Tetley has decided to jump on the single serving wagon and created a liquid tea mix (away from the crystal stuff).

Tetley Infusions is Canada’s healthy new way to flavour water, a first-of-its-kind, pure and natural liquid tea mix. It instantly dissolves in water for the refreshing taste and goodness of real-brewed, naturally sweetened Tetley tea with no artificial colours, flavours or sweeteners. Flavours include: Green Tea, Green Tea with Pomegranate, Classic Tea with Mediterranean Lemon and White Tea with Blueberry.” – Market Wire

I purchased a box of the basic Green tea flavoured packet the other day. A box of 6 packet 30ml packet is around $4-5 CAD.  Instruction says use 1 packet for 500ml bottle of water.

Well, I just tried it… I’d have to say there is NOTHING natural about it… it tastes SO nasty. It taste like…rotten plum. The only thing I figure made it nasty is their natural sweetener? Natural green tea does not taste like rotten plum!

I’ve tasted the Tetley Iced Tea Pomegranate flavor and it taste delicious…MAYBE…just maybe I’ll give these single serving flavoring another try…but with flavor.

So far…This Green Tea Tetley Infusion = 2 thumbs down!
