Lipton Brisk Green Tea - Green Apple

When I first started at my current temp-gig, I started eating lunch at a Togo's a few minutes away. Down the street from the Togo's is a gas station where I had planned on stopping by and getting some Gatorade or water, etc.

That's when I saw the Lipton Brisk bottle.

I like Nestea and Lipton sweetened raspberry iced tea so when I saw the new tea, I thought, "Yay!" Green tea? Even better. I liked a peach tea that I had a while back, so I thought I'd give it a shot.

It wasn't until I got it back to the office that I noticed it was Green Apple. Still, I like green apple so why not?

Needless to say, the taste was brisk. I like most (if not all) things green tea. They're tasty.

The green apple tea was a nice sweet, slightly bitter taste (more sweet though, which I liked). It was refreshing and cool for the summer heat. According to the site, they also have raspberry, but I haven't seen it yet. I've only seen in SoCal, and when I mentioned it to my brother who lives down there, he thought it was weird we didn't have it up here in the Bay Area.

They sell it in cans although I prefer it bottles. I've seen the fridge-friendly cases at Safeway... maybe I'll buy some next time we do a grocery run.

Would I try it again? Hell yeah! I like tea, and it's very rare that I find one that I REALLY like. Hopefully it'll be around for a while so I can fully appreciate all its yummy-ness before it eventually disappears (as are all cool things that I like/find are want to do) and makes me sad.
