Product Review: Organic Honest Tea - I Love This Stuff

Our local grocery store remodeled and revamped to include an organic section. One day I happened upon Honest Tea and have loved the organic product since then. If you want an honest company promoting an honest product, then look closer at Honest Tea.

It's Approved

Honest Tea has been given the USDA organic stamp of approval. People are returning to nature these days and looking for products that aren't preserved "to death" giving the body zero in nutrition. This is brewed tea that is known to reduce blood glucose levels, cholesterol and fight off flu with its antioxidant properties.

How Does It Taste

You won't find 28 grams of sugar per serving, only 5 to 10 grams depending on which product you drink. Their logo is "real tea, real taste, honest" and their product lives up to that slogan. With my first sip of the Moroccan Mint Green Tea, my taste buds could actually notice this was a real drink, not covered up with synthetic anything. It screams healthy. Depending on the flavor, calories range from 18 -70 per bottle. Some of their teas contain caffeine, others don't. Even so, the caffeine content is ¼ of regular coffee.

I Like Their Philosophy

Honest Beverages are committed socially to authenticity, integrity and purity, not only in their organic products, but how they do business. They take pride in honest relationships and their sales show it. The company began in 1998 with $250,000 in sales and in 2006 sales were reported at 13.5 million with 52 employees.
