Brisk Iced Tea … from Dollar Tree!

Whenever I post about my dollar-store discoveries of tea, I picture some of you sitting there in your fancy ladies' parlor, wrapped in a velvet tea gown, nibbling at cucumber sandwiches, bone china teacup in hand, and murmuring to the servants, "Good heavens, Jeeves! Is she doing one of those low-rent tea reviews AGAIN?" And the answer is yes. Yes, I am. Today, it's my Dollar Tree discovery of these flavored teas from Brisk Iced Tea. 

First up was the Pineapple Passionfruit flavor. I love all things pineapple, and I was happy to see that this tea, while it did contain "instant tea" (alas) also contained "green tea," so that was a plus. I liked the flavor, but I liked it in the sense that I like a Capri Sun juice drink if I'm at some kids' event and it's the only cold beverage at hand, if you know what I mean. Pleasant-tasting enough, but not quite enough "tea" flavor to make me buy it again. The Strawberry Melon flavor? Well, I haven't technically had Kool-Aid in years, but it reminds me of the Kool-Aid I had as a child. So there you go. We try these "economical" teas so that you don't have to!

One thing I do recommend: the cute new Tervis tumbler that I found at Publix recently! We love Tervises at my house, and I'd not seen a floral one before. (But I'll be using it for some different teas once these fruity drinks are gone!)
