Guide Review - Sweet Leaf Iced Tea

My biggest complaint with bottled iced teas, is that they are usually over-sweet and have no tea taste to them. This is not a problem with Sweet Leaf bottled iced tea. They are sweetened with cane sugar, which makes the taste much less overpowering than some other common drink sweeteners.

I tried the original, peach and green tea mango flavors of Sweet Leaf iced tea and was impressed with all 3. Here are my thoughts on each one:

Original Blend
Well, the original iced tea is just what it's supposed to be. An old-fashioned iced tea with hint of sweetness and tasting like tea. Simple and very refreshing.

Mango with Green Tea
I found the mango taste was fresh, fruity and strong, but with not too much green tea flavor.

Peach
The peach was much like the original, with a clear taste of tea along with a hint of peach. Not as fruity as the mango, though.

Overall, I really enjoyed the Sweet Leaf iced teas mainly because they taste like iced tea should. Having only natural and organic ingredients doesn't hurt either. I wish I had had the chance to taste a few more varieties. The pomegranate green tea sounds like an interesting combination.
