June is National Iced Tea Month. Did you know that about 85 percent of the tea served in the United States is iced tea?
Honest Tea has come out with a new drink that I recently got to try – Honest Tea Organic Half and Half. This drink is half iced tea and half lemonade. I’d never had this combination prior to this week but was most eager to try it. See I like iced tea but many of them are too sweet. I love lemonade. Honest Tea Half And Half is a great blend of both that offers a totally unique flavor that has only 48 calories per 8 ounce serving. The ingredients are all familiar and pronouncable – purified water, organic cane sugar, Fair Trade certified organic black tea, organic lemon juice concentrate, organic lemon extract and citric acid. For those of you that are concerned about caffeine, Half and Half has 25 mb per serving, which is about ¼ the caffeine of a cup of coffee. I did try Honest Tea at room temperature but found it tasted much better cold. Not surprising since I like both my iced tea and my lemonade cold. The drink is tasty, it’s a little sweet and a little tart. This drink would be a perfect way to cool off on a hot day.
Here are some more fun facts about iced tea, courtesy of Honest Tea.
- According to the Tea Association of the USA, Inc., tea is nearly 5,000 years old. It was discovered in 2737.
- As of June 1st iced tea is 106 years-old.
- Despite its many variations and flavors, all tea comes from the same plant
- Studies show that drinking tea is a good way to build strong bones.
Currently Honest Tea Half And Half is available at select locations nationwide. To find the location nearest you use the product locator. It’s currently only available at a few convenience stores in my area, I hope that it becomes available in the grocery stores too.
