Granny Squibb's Unsweetened Mojito/Lime Tea
I love that Granny and the family has started making unsweetened versions of their line of teas. You see I am an adult, and being one means that I no longer require obscene amounts of sugar in my beverages. Sure I drink a lot of sugary drinks to review for this website, but my intake of fluids is mostly water and unsweetened tea that I brew myself. That's good and well for when I am at home/work, but when I'm out gallivanting with my friends it's nice to have unsweetened options that aren't bottled water.
After those accolades I have to say that I'm not sure this was a good flavor to choose for the unsweetened line. Actually, yes it was. It's a good solid drink, but I would definitely purchase one of their other flavors before this. I love mojito flavored drinks, but they are one drink that sugar definitely helps even out. The lime in this distracts from the taste of the actual tea in this bottle. Tea is naturally a little bitter and that coupled with the sourness of the lime is a bit much. Perhaps I would be more prone to purchase this if the fruit flavor was toned down a bit. The mint flavor here is at a great level. It's very subtle, but still noticeable, meaning that it still has a slight mint flavor without tasting like you're drinking tea after brushing your teeth.
Okay, so I praised this, and then I took it down a couple of pegs, confusing I know. Let me set the record straight. I did enjoy this tea. I just feel that a few small changes could make me really love it. Granny, keep doing what you're doing and I'll keep drinking it, enjoying it and always be dreaming bigger.
