Slap Tea Energy: White Tea Energy

White Tea FTW

I purchased this by chance at my local gas station here in CT. Normally we have three choices- Red Bull, big Red Bull and sugar free Red Bull. When i saw this interesting can, I decided to take my chances (as I usually do, I have a love of trying every new energy drink I can find- whether i regret it or not). I was concerned at first at the fact that it was tea- I am not a huge tea-from-a-can kind of lady. Also, the fact that it was tea concerned me that may be their gimmick to giving out energy. Upon opening and tasting I was instantly put silent- as it barely tastes like tea- in fact, if I wasn?t aware that this was a tea, I probably wouldn?t have figured it out. The lemon is quite subtle as well, and not bitter or acidy at all. Upon my taste bud pleasure I decided to actually read about what I was ingesting. Here I found that this is a "multi-stage energy supplement" . Slap tells us that this beverage is complete with Energy 9.0. Intrigued....I read on. Instead of tons of sugar to wake your ass up and then throw you down like hulk on a good day- this drink contains isomaltulose. Weird, right? What?s that? Where?s the High Fructose Corn Syrup??? Don?t look too hard, you?ll waste all the sugar from your last energy drink....isomaltulose is a disaccharide created by adding enzymes to sucrose. It?s also natural constituent of honey and sugar cane. The benefits of isomaltulose over normal sugar are that it is tooth friendly, has a natural sweet taste and is digested more slowly leading to a lower glycemic index. AKA no big rush and crash. Kinda nice. And oh yeah, energy 9.0 is: isomaltulose, taurine, maltodextrin, caffeine, white tea solids, B Vitamins, guarana, yerba mate, and fructose. All in all, I have energy, its been almost 6 hours now, and im not-nor ever was- jittery. I loved the flavor and look forward to trying the next one out.
