Sweet Leaf Tea, Please!

Man this stuff is good. Reallll good.

So Sweet Leaf Tea is a tiny (not-so-tiny now) tea brewer from Austin, Texas. They started a while back, brewing tea in pillowcases, as their bottles will attest. Now they've moved onward and upward but still have kept the original flair for tea.

I love the Mint & Honey green tea flavor myself, but for several reasons do I really enjoy and respect the brand. First of all, in the world of teas, you have to understand the rest of the playing field. You've got tea everywhere else (especially the ever-trendy green tea brands) brewing cheap and filling their bottles with high fructose corn syrup and artificial flavors. Or, if it's an organic, natural tea, they've gone totally snob and upped the price for a fancy bottle and a rather tastless liquid inside it. Sweet Leaf will have none of it. Their ingredients are water, tea, sugar, and natural flavors (like spearmint) and the cost is very reasonable-and the taste, just get out of town, it's good tea. Very refreshing and very tasty. They have a really nice offering, too-there's a hibiscus-brewed tea with pomegranate, good old sweet tea, tea and lemonade, black tea and peach, black tea and raspberry, and more! This tea rocks and you need to go out now and get yourself a bottle.
