Passion Fruit Green Tea

Product Type:Tea: Sweetened; Container: 16.9 oz PET
BevNET Review: Honest Tea’s Organic Passion Fruit Green Tea with Maqui Berry is a zero calorie offering sweetened with organic stevia extract. Unlike other products that use straight stevia (and there’s no shortage of them), Honest Tea has managed to create something that’s extremely drinkable and has minimal sweetener aftertaste. As for the actual taste of the drink, there’s a pleasant but mellow base of green tea that that’s flavored with passion fruit and maqui berry. While it’s hard to distinguish these two flavors from the mix, it has what’s basically a berry-meets-tropical style to it. Added purple potato juice gives the product it’s bright color, which, in our opinion, makes it look more like a juice than a tea. Packaging is easily identifiable as an Honest Tea product, although the placement and treatment of the “0 calorie” makes it something that’s easy to miss on your first pass across the label. Otherwise, it’s aesthetically pleasing, with the pink color (also a callout to their $100,000 donation to Susan G. Komen for the Cure) going nicely with color of the liquid. And lastly, there’s the name, which, if we’re picking nits, is a bit of a mouthful. Overall, this is a really well executed product in terms of flavor, with perhaps the best tasting stevia sweetened formula that’s on the market today. Reviewed on: 7/21/2010

Organic Half Tea/Half Lemonade

Product Type:Tea: Sweetened; Container: 16.9 oz PET
BevNET Review: Half and Half (half tea, half lemonade) has been around in ready to drink form for the better part of two decades, but Honest Tea’s entry still manages to bring something new to the party. In this case, their “just a tad sweet” approach makes it feel new again. Honest Tea’s Half & Half drinks very much like something that you’d make at home, provided you had Fair Trade Certified organic black tea for the base flavor, while lemon juice and lemon extract provide the sharp lemon flavor. The sweetness is very restrained (about 24 g of sugar per bottle), but sufficient, and it does a good job of cutting the natural sourness of the lemon. All in all, Honest has done a great job creating something that’s clean, refreshing, and homemade tasting. Packaging is, just like the rest of the Honest PET line, a 16.9 oz. PET bottle. The label design is appealing to the eye and easy to read, with their signature “T” taking center stage. Overall, while this is more of an opportunistic move than one of innovation, Honest Tea has hit the nail on the head with execution, making for a drink that could certainly help further bridge the gap between premium RTD tea and the mainstream.

Superfruit Punch

Product Type:Juice: Juice Drink; Container: 16.9 fl. oz. PETE 1
BevNET Review: Honest Tea's Superfruit Punch is a valiant effort to expand their Honest Ade line with a mainstream flavor while staying true to their roots. In this USDA Organic certified product, there's a mildly sweet blend of fruit flavors, including pear, white grape, strawberry, yumberry, cranberry, goji berry, and added flavorings. Despite the fancy name, there's no single fruit flavor that takes center stage, so this product is best classified an upscale, less sweet take on the classic "punch" flavor. That's fine by us, since the results are quite drinkable. Plus, Honest should have some broad appeal with this one, since their target consumer probably has heard about things like yumberry and goji but might not appreciate these fruit by themselves. Packaging is typical Honest PET, with a front panel that relies on fruit imagery and the use of the USDA Organic seal. That, combined with the red color of the fluid, will certainly whet the appetite of consumers. Overall, a very enjoyable entry from Honest Tea.Reviewed on: 10/15/2008

Pomegranate White Tea with Acai

Product Type:Tea: Sweetened; Container: 16.9 of PET
BevNET Review: Not only does Honest’s latest creation use the trifecta of popular antioxidant-loaded ingredients – white tea, pomegranate, and acai -- it’s also one of their best tasting and most marketable creations to date. Starting with the fruit aroma, this product delivers a nice blend of real fruit flavor which, unlike most other teas we sample, is partially derived from actual fruit concentrates rather than solely from flavoring. But that’s not to say that this product has no tea flavor – because it is certainly not short on that. The tea tastes like real white tea, freshly steeped. Honest has done a great job of creating balance in this product, letting both the tea and fruit flavors shine. And, as always, it’s organic and safe for people who are watching their calories (only 74 per 16.9 fl oz bottle) but don’t want "diet" products. Overall, a superb product from Honest Tea.Reviewed on: 3/20/2008

Mango Green Tea

Product Type:Tea: Sweetened; Container: 16.9 fl. oz. PET
BevNET Review: Honest’s Mango Green Tea is a superbly executed product that delivers just the right amount of fruit and tea flavors. The base of green tea is a familiar one – it’s very much the same as what you’ll find in other Honest Tea flavors. The addition of mango flavor and just a touch of sweetness makes the product extremely drinkable – almost addictive – to the point where 16.9 oz. of this stuff starts to feel like not that much. The product has 85 calories, 20g of sugar, 45mg of caffeine, and 200mg of EGCG (antioxidants) per bottle, which make it reasonable on the diet and also provides a slight pick-me-up. Packaging has always been one of Honest’s strong points, and this entry is no different. Using their new, lighter PET bottle, this product has the best of both worlds: sustainability and visual appeal. Placement of the USDA Organic logo is a plus, but we’re really more enthralled with the cleanliness and simplicity of the drink’s front panel, which feels easy to read text and imagery that pops and whets the appetite. All in all, this is one of those products that we could easily add to our daily regimen. A great job by Honest Tea. Reviewed on: 11/16/2009

Pomegranate Blue

Product Type:Tea: Sweetened; Container: 16.9 oz PET
BevNET Review: Honest Tea's third foray into the juice category is called Pomegranate Blue, a lightly sweetened pomegranate and blueberry flavored "organic fruit quencher". Like the other Honest Ade flavors, Pomegranate Blue features a vibrant and appetizing design. Prominent placement of the USDA Organic seal and Honest Ade's tag line, "Just a tad sweet", help reinforce the healthy focus of this product. But how does it taste? Well, if you are used to full strength juices that are filled with sugar and filler juices, Pomegranate Blue might taste a bit watered-down the first time you try it. However, this is one of those products that really grows on you as you drink more. Plus, you won't feel bogged down having just ingested 200+ calories and tons of carbs -- this product has only 100 calories and 26g of carbs per bottle. Overall, it's a very pleasant experience that we will definitely reach for again. Reviewed on: 3/20/2008

Peach White Tea

Product Type:Tea: Sweetened; Container: 16.9 oz PET
BevNET Review: Like the other flavors of Honest Tea, Peach White has a mellow flavor profile that delivers high quality tea flavor and just a splash of fruit flavor and sweetness. The organic certified formulation is clean and crisp, keeping the enjoyment factor high. Featuring Honest's latest packaging design is a big plus, which gives the product a more modern and polished feeling than its predecessors. In addition, it features their new EGCG antioxidant meter on the front of the bottle, which is an interesting move to help promote the drink's healthy aspect. Overall, an extremely enjoyable entry and the modern packaging should help Honest extend its reach.Reviewed on: 3/20/2008

Limeade

Product Type:Juice: Juice Drink; Container: 16.9 oz PET
BevNET Review: The Limeade variety of Honest Ade is an organic fruit drink that holds to the high standards set by Honest's line of organic teas. With only 13g of carbs per serving, this product will have a noticeably light level of sweetness -- one very much on par with Honest's "tad sweet" teas. At first sip, it might even taste too light, especially if you're used to consuming RTD juices with twice as much sugar (or corn syrup), but this product will definitely lure you in as you continue to consume it. The sweet flavor or the organic cane sugar is balanced perfectly with the sour lime flavor. On the packaging side, Honest has come up with a bright, appealing green label on an attractive PET bottle. Overall, this is product with definitely visual and taste appeal -- a job well done by Honest Tea on its first entry outside of tea.Reviewed on: 3/20/2008

Lemon Black Tea

Product Type:Tea: Sweetened; Container: 16.9 oz PET
BevNET Review: Honest's "Organic Lemon Black Tea" is a premium take on the classic RTD iced tea. They've kept it simple, blending organic ingredients cane sugar, black tea, lemon juice, lemon extract, and citric acid, which gives the product a very fresh and enjoyable taste. Also, they've kept the sweetness under control, giving the product a modest 20g of sugar per bottle. Packaging is clean and to the point, with a very polished look to the front of the bottle. A job well done by Honest Tea.Reviewed on: 3/20/2008

Honey Green Tea

Product Type:Tea: Sweetened; Container: 16.9 oz PET
BevNET Review: Honest Tea has done a nice job with this variety, blending a mild green tea base with just a dash of honey and sugar. Plus, being light on the calories (75 per bottle) and high in EGCG doesn't hurt either. Really though, it's the pleasant flavor of the drink that makes this product worth a try. On the outside, they've given the label a makeover, which results in a more modern feeling that previous efforts. Gone is the crunchy feeling, which is probably a good thing as the brand tries to extend its reach. Overall, superb taste and a modern look make this a great entry from Honest Tea.

Cranberry Lemonade

Product Type:Juice: Juice Drink; Container: 16.9 oz PET
BevNET Review: Honest's organic Cranberry Lemonade is the second flavor in the Honest Ade lineup. Like its limeade counterpart, this variety has a delicate sweetness to it and uses only 13g of sugar per serving. As a result, Cranberry Lemonade has a lighter feel to it than most other juice drinks. There's a homemade feel to the lemonade flavor, but the cranberry is a bit too mild: as a result, this product tastes more like what would traditionally be called "pink lemonade." Whether or not this was intended, we expected something a little stronger from a product called "Cranberry Lemonade." Still, the overall taste is pleasing and quenching which, when combined with the superior formulation and organic seal, makes this a great addition to Honest's lineup.Reviewed on: 3/20/2008

Citrus Energy Green Tea

Product Type:Tea: Sweetened; Container: 16.9 oz PET
BevNET Review: Upon first sip of this product, we weren't quite sure how to feel about this product. Yes, it makes a lot of sense for Honest Tea -- or any beverage company, for that matter -- to brand a drink with the word "energy" on the label. However, Honest's entry, which derives its energy from yerba mate and green tea, has a flavor that doesn't quite have the balance of their other products. Specifically, there's just a little too much citrus on the front end of the taste. The second part of the flavor is that of the tea and mate, which is very enjoyable, especially in the mellow formulation that they've used. Overall, Citrus Energy Green Tea is a good product, but with a bit of tweaking, it would be much more enjoyable.Reviewed on: 3/20/2008

Orange Mango with Mangosteen

Product Type:Juice: Juice Drink; Container: 16.9 oz PET
BevNET Review: The latest installment to the Honest Ade lineup is Orange Mango with Mangosteen, a lightly sweetened, organic fruit juice cocktail that manages to maintain a flavor that’s close to a full calorie product. There’s a mild orange flavor that hits your tongue first, followed by a decent splash of mango. It’s certainly refreshing and it’s probably the most mainstream tasting juice they’ve created to date. However, we’re not sure that this is a good thing, especially since it seems to lack the same wholesome flavor that always seems to stand out in Honest’s products. Specifically, there’s the noticeable flavor of white grape as well as flavors that are clearly derived from flavorings. The packaging, on the other hand, it is very appealing, with colorful pictures of fruit being the primary focus of the design. They’ve wisely omitted an image of mangosteen (a tree fruit that looks like a deformed squash), resulting in a product that looks like the super premium juice that it is. Overall, a good, well-formulated product, but we’d like to see a little more substance and a bit less white grape and flavoring to this product.Reviewed on: 3/14/2007

BevNET Review: As we said in our review Peach Oo-La-Long in the glass bottle, this is definitely one of the finer brews of Honest Tea to hit the market. The unique PET bottle gives it a little extra personality, making it one of the best bottled iced teas we've ever tried. Overall, this slightly sweetened brew of organic oolong and black teas (mixed with a splash of peach puree) is a soothing and refreshing beverage. Definitely give it a try.Reviewed on: 12/27/2006

Lori's Lemon Tea PET

Product Type:Tea: Sweetened; Container: 16.9 oz PET
BevNET Review: In our opinion, Lori's Lemon Tea has always been Honest Tea's best mainstream entry. Adding this flavor to the PET lineup is a very smart move for Honest, making the product even more mainstream. Specifically, this product gives Honest Tea its best chance of mass market and c-store penetration. The original lightly sweetened brew of black tea works extremely well with the new bottle, especially since we feel that Lori's Lemon has the most appealing label design of the brand. Overall, Lori's Lemon is an excellent flavor that will definitely help Honest Tea successfully launch the new PET bottle line.Reviewed on: 12/27/2006

Heavenly Honey Green

Product Type:Tea: Sweetened; Container: 16.9 oz PET
BevNET Review: Heavenly Honey Green is Honest Tea's latest "just a tad sweet" green tea. Featuring a flavor that was clearly crafted for the masses, Heavenly Honey Green has a very light tea body that has been flavored with organic honey and organic cane sugar. As always, honey helps balance the potentially grassy flavor and gives the product a natural, wholesome sweetness. The result is a very clean green tea flavor that we think almost anyone will enjoy. Overall, this is an excellent tasting product that looks great in Honest Tea's proprietary bottle.Reviewed on: 12/27/2006

Green Dragon Tea PET

Product Type:Tea: Sweetened; Container: 16.9 oz PET
BevNET Review: Honest Tea's "Tad Sweet" Green Dragon Tea is the fourth flavor to be introduced into the PET lineup. Like the original version found in the flagship 16 ounce glass line, the PET version is USDA-certified organic. The green tea has a medium body and is flavored with organic cane sugar and natural passion fruit flavor, which helps cut the grassy flavor that is typically associated with green tea. A side-by-side comparison of the glass and PET varieties show a slight variation in body which could be the difference in packaging or just a normal variation in batches. Regardless, this product is excellent and tea-drinkers will rejoice as this is one of the best tasting teas you can find in a PET bottle.Reviewed on: 12/27/2006

Vanilla Mint White Tea

Product Type:Tea: Sweetened; Container: 15.5 fl oz PET
BevNET Review: We were very excited to hear about Honest Tea's first foray into white tea and, fortunately, Vanilla Mint White Tea did not let us down. It features a delicate white tea flavor that has been aptly complemented with organic vanilla and spearmint flavors. The product bears the "just a tad sweet" tag on its label, referring to the subtle hint of sweetness that exists in the product (from organic cane sugar, of course). Vanilla Mint White Tea is a truly exquisite beverage that's one of the most refreshing iced tea's we've ever sampled. Finally, we commend Honest Tea for developing a product with a truly original flavor rather than just copying what's already out there. Overall, this product is about as perfect as they come.Reviewed on: 12/21/2006

Tangerine Green Tea

Product Type:Tea: Sweetened; Container: 16 fl oz (473 ml) PET
BevNET Review: Technically speaking, Honest Tea has done an amazing job with what's inside this bottle. With only 10 calories per bottle -- that's right, per BOTTLE -- Tangerine Green Tea is formulated exactly the way green tea should be: it has only the lightest flavors complementing the delicate taste of green tea. This is something that has really never been done before -- green teas are usually unsweetened and taste like grass or are over-sweetened and taste like sugar. Throw in the fact that the product is organic and you've got a formulation that is second to none. As far as the package goes, they did a great job of incorporating two of the most important selling points of this product -- its low calorie count and its organic certification. Otherwise, this product is not terribly pretty; you are forced to read the text to figure out what it is. Nevertheless, it fits well with the rest of the Honest Tea brand. If Honest can improve the packaging, this is a 5 star product in our book.Reviewed on: 12/21/2006
