Republic of Tea and Luna Ginger Currant Black Tea

By: Tanya Patrice | Dec 7, 2007

Republic of Tea and Luna Ginger Currant Black TeaRepublic of Tea and Luna Bars have teamed up to create "a fresh, pure flavored tea, blended with many of the essential vitamins and minerals women need everyday - it’s Nutritional Iced Tea for Women." Premium, organic black tea is blended with black currants and other ripe summer berries. These rich flavors are finished off with the clean spiciness of fresh ginger.

Well, with a description like that - and the fact that I love adding ginger to beverages to spice things up a bit - I decided to give the Republic of Tea and Luna Ginger Currant Black Tea a try. When I took the first gulp, I had to look at the bottle to make sure that I was drinking an iced tea beverage. This tastes like it is full of citric acid on speed! The ONLY flavor you taste is the strongly tart/ acidic. They are so, SO WRONG for making me spend my money on this. I really feel robbed because one bottle of this costs $2.19! Save your money and your taste buds from this horror.

It's a damn shame that this tastes so bad because the nutrition facts are pretty good. One 350 ml bottle of Luna Ginger Currant Black Tea is a serving and has 50 calories and 11 grams of sugar. There is also 10% vitamin D, 15% calcium and 35% of your daily folate requirements. The ingredients are water, organic evaportated cane juice, organic black tea, calcium gluconate, citric acid, natural ginger and black currant flavors.

If it's iced tea you want, check out the reviews of Snapple White Tea, Honest Mango Acai White Tea or Fuze Healthy Infuzions Diet Green Tea.
