Arizona Diet Green Tea with Ginseng

By: Tanya Taylor, PhD | Jul 17, 2005

I have seen Arizona Green Tea time and time again, but somehow, I just never tried it before today. I actually tried both the diet and regular green tea. The regular version I tried was the Green Tea with Ginseng and Plum Juice, and believe it or not, the diet green tea tasted better. The 'Diet Green tea with Ginseng' tastes just like sweet tea without all the sugar, but with just the right amount of sweetness so it's not like flavored water (which I am not a big fan of). Do I detect a hint of lemon in this tea as well? I'm not sure, but something also gives it a little bit of bite or a little edge as I like to call it.

I cannot believe it, but they managed to make this zero calories and all natural. I'm officially hooked! I've gotten blasted by Steaz green tea soda lovers (is there a cult following for this brand?), but Arizona tea lovers can hold the hate mail. I love this stuff. The attraction of most people to 'green tea drinks' is that green tea has antioxidants which are good for you and help mediate the damage going on in your body from free radicals etc. The less processing that the tea goes through, the more chances there are that the antioxidants will actually be in the final product (that was my only issue with the green tea soda). And of course, different teas have different antioxidant levels. I think I'll definitely be drinking this more often, but my motivation is more from drinking something without carbonation that has no calories and tastes good. Thanks Arizona!
