I ordered the 12-pack of Black Forest Berry Honest Tea from Amazon. The seller, Nutricity, really packaged this well. It arrived in a big box with all the bottles surrounded and protected by lots and lots of bubble wrap. Even the FedEx delivery guy rang the doorbell to make sure we got the package. I can see why President Barack Obama loves Black Forest Berry Honest Tea, and has it handy at the White House and his Marine One helicopters. I have tried his other favorite Honest Tea drink - Green Dragon tea, but I think the Black Forest Berry Honest Tea tastes better. Anyways, the Black Forest Berry tea isn't too sweet or too bland. It's just right. It's not super sweet like the Snapple drinks, even though my family adores Snapple's Papaya Mango "The Amazing Race" drink - that drink is truly amazing! But Honest Tea's Black Forest Berry is not bland like some other bottled tea drinks. Honest Tea's Black Forest Berry contains purified water, organic cane sugar, organic Fair Trade Certified hibiscus, organic blackberry leaves, organic berry blend flavoring, organic blueberry powder, and organic raspberry powder. I like the fact that Honest Tea uses organic ingredients. What caught my eye in the list of ingredients is the organic Fair Trade Certified hibiscus part. I've been reading a lot about hibiscus tea from Amazon reviewers and what Dr. Oz said, how hibiscus lowers high blood pressure. So, that's cool. And I remember reading that about Ambassador Organics Egyptian Hibiscus tea, a product that is selling well on Amazon. Ambassador Organics is a company ran by former Ambassador Carol Moseley Braun. Both President Obama and former Ambassador Carol Moseley Braun used to be politicians from Illinois, where I was raised. It just shows that a lot of people like to drink tea, and it's really great how they're supporting Fair Trade Certified and organic products. Honest Tea's Black Forest Berry tea is gluten-free and has 60 calories per bottle. I also like the fact that underneath the bottle lids, there are six-word memoirs from Honest Tea employees and normal people like us Amazon customers. If you want to try submitting a six-word memoir, go to Honest Tea's website - [...]. On the bottle, Honest Tea's co-founder, President, TeaEO, Seth Goldman, says that his three boys like to drink this caffeine-free bottled drink after dinner. When it comes to bottled tea drinks, if you want a flavor that is not too bland and not too sweet, like in the story, "Goldilocks and the Three Bears", when Goldilocks settles on the porridge with the right temperature - I consider Honest Tea's Black Forest Berry the "Goldilocks" of the bottled flavored tea drinks.

I love this tea! With just 8g of sugar per serving, it 's perfect. If you're worried that it might be bland, don't. This tea is so refreshing and flavorful that I find myself craving it. I also like their Moroccan Mint Green Tea. Try them, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. I stopped drinking sodas. Thank goodness for Honest Tea!
