Manufacturer's Brand Overview: [Edit]
Based in Seattle, Washington, Cha Dao hand brews and bottles all-natural, premium and award-winning Distinctively Fresh Teas™. Cha Dao teas are delicious, naturally refreshing, and healthier than soda. With Cha Dao Tea, you get up to six times more antioxidants than other bottled teas. Tea Industry experts have awarded two first-place awards to Cha Dao at The World Tea Expoâ€™s Ice Tea Shake-off Competition held June 1, 2008 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Cha Daoâ€™s Herbal Chrysanthemum placed first in Best Ready-To-Drink Flavored Herbal Tea and Yin Yang took first in Best Ready-To-Drink Flavored Black Tea. In 2006, one month after Cha Dao sold its first bottle of tea, The World Tea Expo awarded Cha Dao with First Runner-up in the Best Sweetened Iced Tea category for its Jasmine Green Tea with Lemon. Unlike other bottled teas that are diluted from concentrate, Cha Dao teas are always fresh brewed. Each batch of tea is immediately bottled and continuously chilled for up to 90 days. Because of this unique process, Cha Dao is able to provide its customers with the freshest ready-to-drink tea available in the country. Cha Daoâ€™s brewing process is also the reason that Cha Daoâ€™s teas contain up to six times more antioxidants than other teas on the market, which can be brewed up to 18 months before they are consumed.

Yin Yang
Category: Tea: Sweetened; Packaging: 16.9 fl oz (500 ml) plastic

BevNET Review:
Feel like drinking some iced coffee? Or maybe you'd like some iced tea? Can't decide? You are in luck. Cha Dao has created a product that mixes tea AND coffee into a single iced beverage. As for the flavor, the name Yin Yang is a very accurate way to describe it. The mildly blended combination drinks surprisingly well, with light notes of black tea and coffee hitting the palate. They've done a great job of formulating it in such a way that neither flavor overpowers the other. However, being technically sound doesn't mean that consumers will actually want to drink a product that mixes tea and coffee. In our opinion, it's actually a rather unappetizing sounding combination. Overcoming this is the biggest trick for this product because once a consumer does try it, we think they'll really enjoy it.

Chrysanthemum Tea
Category: Tea: Sweetened; Packaging: 16.9 fl oz (500 ml) plastic

BevNET Review:
Cha Dao has really done a great job formulating this product. The light, delicate flavor of chrysanthemum is on par with white tea, but with more richness in body and aroma. It is sweetened with a hint of cane sugar, giving the product a very light sweetness that provides the perfect complement to the smooth body of the tea. Overall, a very nice flavor that is Cha Dao's most worthy product. Improved packaging (and perhaps a better name) would make this product a contender.

Jasmine Green Tea
Category: Tea: Sweetened; Packaging: 16.9 fl oz (500 ml) plastic

BevNET Review:
The extreme earthiness of this tea offsets the low-quality lemon and excessive sugar used to try to tame it for an American audience, and as a result, it just doesn�t hold together. While the quality of the tea itself is indisputable, it�s hard to imagine this product winning many fans with its odd, discordant taste.

Oolong Tea
Category: Tea: Sweetened; Packaging: 16.9 fl oz (500 ml) plastic

BevNET Review:
This tea smells excellent but the formulation is nothing particularly special or original. The Oolong starts off smooth but has a slightly brackish, grassy finish that didn�t leave us with a craving for more. The biggest news about this tea is the PET plastic bottle, which has an elegant, original shape, although not one that really screams �iced tea.� Only recommended for really heavy unsweetened tea fans.

Sencha Tea
Category: Tea: Sweetened; Packaging: 16.9 fl oz (500 ml) plastic

BevNET Review:
This is a nicely balanced, refreshing, unsweetened tea that could hold its own against any high-end unsweetened product. It has no grassy or harsh flavors and has a lightness that would put it in shape to appeal to mainstream consumers. While we�re still not sure if the packaging is a plus or a minus, the taste should win it repeat consumers.
