    Add vodka and you got one hell of a drink.

    I'm still weighing the pros and cons of drinking this stuff:

    vita lemon tea



    vita chrysanthemum tea

    My gurl loves these.

    While not the greatest thing ever. I do drink lots of this. For such a huge can and only .99 cents it's hard to beat when looking for something refreshing on campus.




    Whats up with their site?

    I'm scratching with the bottle.

    I love Arizona... Like you said, you get a HUGE can and it's only 99 cents. My main tea of choice is the Green Tea with Honey & Ginsgeng, but the straight up Sweet Tea is decent too. I tried out the Red Apple Green Tea and it was good too.

    On the other hand, I tried the Black & White Iced Tea with Ginseng & Honey and it tasted horrible. It literally tasted like tea with cigarette ashes in it. Ugh. I don't know if I just had a bad can or what but I don't think I'll be trying it again anytime soon to find out.

    Yes. Ito En's bottled genmai cha is the best bottled tea I've ever tasted.

    The Black & White is the schitt. It has real cane sugar not that sloppy ass corn fructose sizzur. You look kinda gay drinking it though, with the yin and yang in your hand.

    Man I miss the tea in Japan... Convenient stores in America have shit for drinks.

    And the tea! Diet green tea?! What the fuck does tea have to be diet for, it has zero calories... Oh, American green is filled with high fructose corn syrup, and artificial flavors that make it taste like shit...

    Itoen's "Tea's Tea" for the American market is dope! I wish you could get this stuff in convenient stores... The prices are jacked up in the health food stores, but the 2-liter bottles are only four dollars at Tarjay...

    This is no joke - its becoming almost impossible to find 100% juice (apple and orange can still be found but I can't get excited about paying $2 for those)

    You're pretty much guaranteed either corn syrup or bullshit artificial-ass sweeteners unless you're getting beer or water

    that kamoucha stuff is pretty wild. i've only tried the guava -- it takes some getting used to but seems healthy..

    I'm feeling this:

    it's all about the miraculous mints. good luck finding it.. if you do, let me know where!!!
