I don't think I've ever had a beverage that had so many different US states listed on its label. You mean you can't figure out where your tea is being brewed before you can it? This one? Probably from Tennessee. There are two different places in Pennsylvania where it could have been brewed. And that's before you get into Ohio. This probably didn't come from California, but who's to say? Then, it seems like they threw in Michigan because they couldn't think of any other states. It's very simple. You should know where you are making your beverage. If you don't, you have overindustrialized.
First sip is perfectly fine. As with most of these hard teas, I found that the average person appears to like their tea with a lot more sugar than I do. As a result, these teas tend to be too sweet. But, at least these guys aren't using artificial sweeteners. The result is a beverage that is sweet without the aftertaste, and the addition of so much more lemon from the lemonade seems to be balancing out the overly sweet tea. I like iced tea, and I like lemonade, and so far, this is hitting just fine.
Tip in is tea leaves, lemon, and sugar. The alcohol is almost unnoticeable, and that works out for me. If this was something like a Jack Daniels or Jim Beam half and half, I would really be expecting to taste the underlying alcohol, but this is pretty subdued. The middle shows a little bit of the alcohol, but the tea appears to be ruling the day with sweetness and light lemon flavor being added from the lemonade. The finished turns slightly dry, strangely enough, before the tea leaves and sweetness are all that's left for the trail off.
