Teas' Tea

[nancy324]

Has anyone tried these cold, bottled teas called "Teas' Tea"? I tried them a few times and now I'm addicted. I have to have my bottle of cold green tea every day. I thought I was doing a good thing for myself, because they have no sugar and no calories and the only ingredient is tea. But now I can't get to sleep at night! How much caffeine does a bottle of green tea have???

This stuff is SOOO delicious:

I may never sleep again.

Nancy, these sound so good. Do they sell them in supermarkets or you have to order it online? Also, do they have sucralose or aspartame of any kind? Is it sweetened at all?

Thanks!

Green tea has about 25% of the caffeine of similar-sized black coffee. Give or take a bit. So I'm surprised it's so addictive.

Must have heroine in it or something. LOL!

Absolutely no sweeteners of any kind, yet they are delicious. But not in a sweet way. They sell them in the deli near my office building, and I keep shelling over $2 per bottle every afternoon. Can't help myself.

Emily-
It's the delicious taste that's got me hooked, not the caffeine. Wish they would come out with a decaf one, but I suspect it would not taste as good.

I will have to try this. I love tea and drink it everyday. I don't like any kind of sweeteners so this sounds really good.

Nancy,

I've recently tried Lipton's Green Tea w/citrus. No sweetners either. I bought it at the local grocery store. Very good! I'm a huge water drinker, but it's nice to grab something other than water. I was going to post something about this as well and then I saw your post.

I also recently purchased the Diet Snapple flavored lemon tea. That is also good, but it has aspartame (sp?) in it. Green tea is supposed to best tea to drink correct? Because of the antioxidants? I'm learning all this wonderful stuff from all you wise women! Also, made the switch from rolled oats to steel cut oatmeal. That's yummy too! My kids think both are gross. Oh well, i'm not forcing them to eat/drink it.

Dallas-
I love Snapple Diet Peach Iced Tea myself, but don't drink it much anymore because of the caffeine and artificial sweeteners. The Lipton sounds good, but again, caffeine. Everything I like has caffeine! x( And with my PMS, I should be staying far away from the stuff!

I know what is is with caffeine and PMS? I just have my coffee in the morning (which is Maxwell House Lite 1/2 the caffeine) during PMS. I notice a big difference. My only problem is I crave chocolate during PMS which has caffeine in it!:-( It's tough to be a female!

Hey Nancy, thanks for the heads-up. BTW, what time are you drinking it? I would think if it is in the morn or afternoon that it shouldn't be keeping you up at night? Do you think possibly it is something else that is causing your insomnia?

The rule of thumb is not to drink caffeine after 3:00 but I can usually get away with drinking tea into the evening. There was that day when I drank about 3 gallons. I was wired and stayed close to the bathroom but my neice said it was a good detox! LOL! Did you buy the Teas' Tea online? Is it available in stores? I like "Honest Tea", which comes in many varieties. They have a green tea with ginger floating in it and it tastes great and ginger is good for us! But it's an expensive habit if one has compulsive tendancies. I want to try Teas' Tea!
