Green Tea in a Tube?

[MarkC]

Anybody tried these yet? Pour a tube into a bottle or glass of water and drink it up.
I don't like hot drinks unless it's cold outside, so this is good for me. I've tried Lipton's Mango and Mandarin, and Celestial's Blueberry Splash. They're kinda tasty, but don't taste like tea. They claim to contain as much flavonids as a couple of cups of tea.

I've never seen such a thing as tea in a tube.

It's a tube of foil or something, with instant tea powder in it. You get 10 tubes for about $3. Dump it into a bottle of water, y mira, tea.

Where do you buy that?

 

[MarkC]

Grocery store.

A brand name would help.

Name that tube...
Crystal Light makes about 8 flavors some of which are based on "tea".
Lipton Makes 6 (I think) flavors based on "tea".
Walmart has the Crystal Light, and there house brand, on the juice aisle, and the Lipton in with the coffee and tea selections. Most other stores have them in or near to the same places.

Not too bad if you put them in a 20oz. bottle of water, I think they're too sweet in a 16oz bottle. All use an artifical sweetner. Average cost is about $1.25 for 10 tubes.

I send any and all types to my nephew stationed in Iraq. Talk about a much appreciated care package. Now if only GatorAide would package their powdered mixes this way.

Yep, Lipton, as well as Celestial Seasonings. I found both at Fred Meyer. I imagine you can get it at Safeway or someplace as well.
