I find great pleasure in a good tea. Hot tea, iced tea, makes no difference to me. I love them all. Flavored teas are like boxes of chocolates, a different flavor for every mood. At present, I have 15 different teas in the cupboard or refrigerator. All of them like good soldiers waiting to help me through my day. There is one though, that stands out. Made by Lipton, it is the best that I have ever found. It is Brisk Green, an apple flavored green tea.

Many people shy away from the light green teas because of the lack of flavor. Yet they want the added health benefits of the EGCG ( epigallocatechin gallate).
Women like the fact that it can help them lose weight. This product fits the bill. This tea is crisp and refreshing. Actually a delight to drink. In my house, there is a fight when we are down to the last can in the refrigerator. I always point out the other beverages available. They always point out that there are none that taste as good as the Brisk Green. I have to agree with them.

I don't know how the manufacturer did it, but the taste is phenomenal. It actually tastes as though you just bit into a granny smith apple. I was truly amazed. I was expecting the same old green apple pucker. My mouth starts to water just thinking about it. Many green apple products have the initial sour taste but it doesn't last or is too overpowering. There is no bitterness or strong sour taste. No need to worry about an after-taste either. Just plain old good tea.

Calorie content is 130 for a 12 oz can. 0 grams of fat. This is not caffeine free. It contains 32mg for every 8 oz. I don't have a problem with this because this tea is designed to awaken and refresh. It does just that. With the bold clean taste and the healthy benefits of the green tea, this is my choice of drink for quite some time to come. It comes packaged in 12oz single serving cans, 20 oz bottles and 2-liter bottles. You can't miss it. It's the bright green can in the cooler. This is a Pepsi product so watch that you don't grab the Mountain Dew by mistake. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

Sounds delicious although most of the bottled green teas have very low polyphenol levels when compared to fresh brewed green tea. I wonder how it would taste to add a little apple juice to freshly brewed green tea? This would be a way of getting the health benefits while still enjoying the delicious taste of apple. Thanks for a nice review. :-)

This is not real Green Tea.It just a Sour Apple flavore soda with a bit of Green Tea thrown into they can market it as a Green Tea beverage.On the plus side it is very good taste wise and has extra caffeine in it so it will give you a bigger kick than regular soda.

I expected a regular green tea and when I tasted it, it was sour. You can barely see the words "apple flavored" on the bottle. I thought it was just green tea and that's what I expected. Not a big fan!!

If you actually love green tea, you might absolutely hate this tea, like I did. When I wanted and expected a normal green tea taste and got this abomination instead, I about wanted to scream. What next "Black Tea Brisk" that tastes like Black Licorice?? or how about Orange Pekoe Brisk that actually tastes like Orange Juice?

Kroger had a 4th of July sale 5 for $11. After taking a risk at one 12 pack I ended up cleaning out the store. Its been a while since I found a drink I really enjoy. I think the last drink I truly enjoyed like this was Lemon Pepsi (Pepsi Twist) which is no more in my state (Indiana)

I have bought up every 12-pack in a 30 mile radius of here. I live in north central miss. I have never drank anything that tasted better in my life. It taste like green apple jolly rancher only smoother and very refreshing. I can't find any more in this area , getting worried you quit making it . p.s. It taste better in the can ! RE-STOCK THE SHELVES q.u.i.c.k..!!!!
