I get it, you’re better than me because you like it and I don’t.

    Right? What options do we have that aren’t alcoholic or sickeningly sweet?

      Water? I vote water.

        I smash water. Drink a minimum half gallon a day. I want something different from time to time.

      I recently found a very mildly sweetened tea and I’ve been in love. Tall can and only 7 grams of sugar. I can drink them all day and I don’t feel like I’m going to enter into a diabetic coma like I do after one sip of Arizona tea.

      Problem is they aren’t cheap and they only give you free shipping on the first batch… Not sure I am willing to spend the money on getting them consistently which sucks. I need to find somewhere local and stock up.

        I miss honest tea. They were for me what the tea you’re describing is for you.

          Yeah I remember those.

          I don’t know what people seem to only want entirely unsweetened or super diabetic sweetened. Why can’t anyone offer a slightly sweet drink.

          I’m telling you it’s a conspiracy by big sugar.

        Mind sharing what kind it is? I generally drink hot tea, but my family likes cold tea so I like to keep some on hand. Would be nice to be able to also drink it myself, but it’s just so sugary (and I’m from the south, so I know my sweet teas) it’s hard to feel refreshed.

          I have only tried their blood orange tea (and I love it so much), but they have a small amount of caffeine (like 40mg) so be aware of that if you’re caffeine sensitive.

          Everyone I have let try the tea has asked to have a can or two so I’ve burned through my initial supply a little faster than I was hoping.

          I have been searching for a mildly sweetened tea for most of my life and I am so happy to have something between unsweetened tea and liquid diabetes tea (I love the south but that stuff barely counts as tea come on y’all).

            Wow, you weren’t kidding. $4 a can is a bit rich for my blood, but I will take your word that they’re good cuz I don’t know how else they can stay in business like that. I buy tea for my family by the gallon and it’s less than $4 vs an equivalent $32 worth of cans if I did the math right. It seems like they’re only available offline at Nordstrom. Hope you’re able to find them locally.

              Yeah the cost is definitely too high, but around where I live it’s not that much worse than other tea of equal quality.

              Honestly at this point I’m tempted to start my own drinks brand that is literally just Arizona iced tea with like 10% of the sugar content.

                That’s really expensive! Why not just make your own iced tea at that point? It’s a very easy drink to make in big batches since you drink it cold.

                  Laziness. The cans are convenient. I don’t wanna hog up fridge space with a huge jug of liquid that only I would be drinking.

                  Maybe when I’m living in my own again I’ll get some liquid dispenser thing that lives in my fridge and I’ll just have to figure out the ratio of sugar to tea that I like best.

      Plus, they are amazing as mixers, so you can always make them alcoholic
