Neighbors had their 4th on the 3rd last night, which meant a late bedtime waiting for the pyrotechnics finale (I don’t mind the ones that go BOOM, but the ones that shriek make me nuts). Heavy-handed caffeine, cold, is the order of the day while I prep for VBS next week. (Fifteen cootie catchers folded; next project is origami hopping frogs. Wanna help?)
Tejava stays my favorite pre-bottled unsweet tea. Dark and strong without obnoxious citric acid. I never get the kick in the pants I need from iced tea, no matter how beefy, but this one at least provides a nice forceful nudge.
You know I would be there if I were closer!
Making hopping paper fronts sounds fun!
They never hop far or straight, so when you race them, you’ve got kids crawling on their hands and knees all willy-nilly trying to get them aimed toward the finish line. Organized chaos.
I don’t venture into bottled teas often, but this one deserves a mention. According to the label, there’s Java tea leaves and there’s water and that’s that—no unwanted accoutrements. Brassy; not much of a bass line, but still strong enough to suit builders tea preferences. Will hunt it out next time I need a cold to-go.
Interesting! The bottled iced tea around here has more sugar than a Pepsi, other than the rare occasions I can find a Harney one. They are both delicious and very low in sugar.
No H&S bottles anywhere around here!
I see it’s same everywhere. Only one without added sugar is Pfanner one, which is quite expensive compared to others; and even Pfanner ones with sugar are, luckily, with not so much sugar.
Most local convenience stores have bottled tea, but it’s more citric acid than tea.
Good stuff.
I saw this for the first time today at the supermarket near my office. It’s a bottled tea, and it was set out on a shelf, unrefrigerated. The weather has turned hot, and there’s no refrigerator in my office. I thought about it, then stashed one bottle behind some larger refrigerated coffee bottles. I came back over an hour later, and it was still there, and nicely chilled!
It’s a very light tea at the beginning of the sip, and then the roasty flavor hits mid-sip, with perhaps a hint of mugicha. And then I’m sitting with a family at a road stop in southern Japan in the summer, cooling off with a refreshing beverage much like this one. And then there’s a citrus note at the end of the sip. I will be buying more of this.
