Can’t get enough of Green Tea
Green tea is good for you! In hopes of preventing cancer, I drink at least 3 to 4 cups of Japanese green tea every day. I’m not sure if you can be addicted to tea…but I am! But hey, it’s good for me right? So what about other “green tea” flavored stuff? Green tea ice cream, green tea toast, green tea pocky, green tea soda… somehow they all make you want to have it because you think green tea = healthy.
So I recently tried Hansen’s new “Natural Green Tea Soda”. It comes in 4 flavors: Lemon Mint, Ginger, Pomegranate, and Tangerine. I tried Ginger and Pomegranate (separately of course), and I’d have to say they are very tasty. The light flavor and carbonation really quenches your thirst. So silly me, thinking that it’s healthier than Coke, I actually compared the nutritional facts. And guess what…there really is no difference! Damnit… and there isn’t an ounce of green tea flavor. But who cares, it tastes good anyways!

Mmmmm… Hansen’s Pomegranate is good. Not really a big fan of the Tangerine flavor though. It doesn’t really taste like anything except some generic citrus flavor — it is better than the Starbuck’s Tangerine Frap though!

I only had Lemon Mint, it’s so so.. I don’t like carbonated drinks in general, i wonder if the the Pomegranate can change that.

The Lemon Mint tea is NASTY. I tried it, had Jeff take a swig and he wouldn’t even drink it because of the smell. Kyle called it foul, but drank the rest because he has an iron stomach. He’s like a garbage disposal. I give him nasty food, and he consumes it.

Hey,
I live in Maryland and I have been looking for the Green Tea Sodas ever since I tried them on the West Coast last summer. I spoke to the company today to order a case, but was told the product is still too new to offer as customer order. Anyway, what state are you guys finding the product? Even the Trader Joe’s doesn’t carry it (only the othe Hansen’s stuff).
Help!

Thanks to everybody for trying our line of Hansen’s Natural Green Tea Sodas. It’s becoming easier to find now as we’re available at Target Stores nationwide (3 flavors) and most Safeway and Safeway-owned stores (some regions of Safeway won’t have until July and none have the diets yet but they all will).
Hope you enjoy and continue to support. If you email me, I’ll be sure you get a coupon or two.
Cheers!
