white tea is a baby tea leaf
and while it still has a naturally light flavor, we pluck it.
that’s it?
that’s it.
So don’t fly all the way to Asia just to find out what white tea is. It’s light in flavor, high in anti-oxidants, and the asian guy on Snapple’s commercial is awesome. It comes in 3 flavors: Green Apple, Nectarine and Raspberry. I’ve tried the Apple and Nectarine so far, and my personal favorite is the Nectarine flavor. I officially declare this my new favorite drink! Everytime i see it on sale at Safeway, I buy massive quantities of it.
Snapple also launched a new line of green tea beverages as well, that come in 2 flavors: Asian Pear and Mango. I tried the Asian Pear, and it’s pretty good. Hard to find in stores though. I’ve only seen it on the shelves once.
Jones Soda Company also has their own line of teas. “Jones Organics” comes in 6 different flavors: Cherry White Tea, Strawberry White Tea, Peach Red Tea, Tropical Red Tea, Mandarin Green Tea, and Berry Green Tea. The Strawberry white tea is good, but personally I don’t like Strawberry flavored drinks that much. The Peach Red Tea was just ok.
Conclusion: I still like Snapple’s White Tea in Nectarine the best, but mostly because of the Asian dude

I have yet to try the snapple teas. With my vast caloric intake, I have to usually stick to light diet drinks so I can maintain my burger consumption quota and not die.

I finally saw these at Safeway 4 for $5, i got 3 white tea flavor and Green Tea Asian Pear. All the white tea ones taste kinda artificial flavor to me. I like the Asian Pear… Altho $1.25 for a drink is somewhat expensive, I could just drink water or make myself some hot tea instead. I don’t feel like I benefit from this drink all that much unlike Vitamin water. Oh, another thing, the white tea is decaf! What’s up with that?
