Citrus White

I did some searching, and cannot seem to find any reference to this tea on the internet. It is called Citrus White iced tea, from Gold Peak Teas. Mom picked it up for me along with a meal from Boston Market.

Flavor: White tea has a very light flavor. It hints at flowers and berries, and evokes the idea of late spring (so of course, this is the perfect time for me to be drinking it). The lemon is not too strong or citrus-y, just enough for you to be able to taste it in each sip. It is a sweetened tea, and if I had to guess, I'd say probably honey or cane sugar is what was used to sweeten it. Most companies don't use honey, so it is probably cane sugar. If I had it my way, I'd go a little lighter on the sweetener.

Suggested Additions: Because this is a manufactured tea, they've decided what to add in the way of flavoring or sweeteners. I toyed with the idea of adding a bit of water so that it is not quite so sweet, but the flavor is so delicate that I decided I did not want to risk losing the taste along with the sweetener.

Ingredients: Unknown. This tea is not listed on Boston Market's webpage, nor on Gold Peak Tea's site. Because I did not go to Boston Market with my mom, I was not able request nutrition information from the manager. If you frequent a Boston Market near you, feel free to inquire. If you do, let me know what you find out.

Purpose: Pure enjoyment. This iced tea just makes me happy.
