Day three…..
On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…
THREE brand new flavors!
This year we released 3 new flavors, Citrus Green Tea, Lemon Iced Tea, and Diet Citrus Green Tea. Tell us what makes one of these new flavors (or flavor) hit the spot for you. Our favorite response in the comment box below gets a special treat from Granny, and this year it won’t be a lump of coal. Check back tomorrow to see who won and enter to win another prize. Remember, if you don’t win today, there is always tomorrow!
I’d like to share that I was very pleasantly surprised by the taste of Lemon. When we did the initial taste-tests, I was horrified by the flavors that were presented because I normally find lemon-flavored tea to be overwhelming, and kind of fake-tasting.
When we received the first production samples of the completed product, I was blown. Away. Yes, really. It’s completely delicious! It’s really refreshing, doesn’t taste fake (because it’s not, of course) AND it mixes well. What more can you ask for?
I’m not a big fan of sweet tea, but my in-law family is. One day I decided to give the new Sweet Leaf Tea Lemon-Citrus flavor a try and was completely floored. It wasn’t like any sweet tea I’ve had before. Usually they are just so sweet that it give me a sick feeling in my gut, but this had flavors and was subtly sweet. Hats off to granny for this flavor.

Sweet Leaf Tea has changed my mind 100% about pre-bottled teas. Used to only drink stuff that was brewed right then and there–but the teas you all make are to die for! I love green tea and the new citrus green tea combines two of my favorite flavors! Go Granny Go!
I first had the Lemon Iced Tea after the Scamps & Scoundrels event in Austin. The refreshing cool drink definitely hit the spot after a day of running around downtown. I loved that it was not too sweet (even though I’m a big fan of the Sweet Tea) and tasted just like homemade iced tea.
I always put lemon in my tea so I wanted to try yours with the lemon already in it. It was great. The perfect mix of tea and lemon. I am a huge fan.
Here at my house we are big fans of tea and lemon. The combination of the two are so amazing, your tea takes those two and blow “lemon tea” made by anyone else out of the water. I recently have become addicted to your tea, I’d been to Austin many times before and seen it everywhere but never tried it. When I got back home, way down south, someone one had bought it and BAM! I was hooked. It’s soooo good and soooo refreshing…just writing about it is making my mouth water!
I love Citrus Green Tea because it reminds me of a slower, calmer, time when all I had to do was go outside during the summer and play and come in for a sandwich, chips, and tea at lunch. I love this feeling so much, I drank 18 bottles of it over the two month span I was studying for and taking my doctoral comprehensive finals this fall. Very refreshing and comforting!
Got to go with the Citrus Green Tea. In fact, there’s a bottle sitting on my desk right now, as there is every day! There’s just something undefinably refreshing about it, whether it’s summer or winter (or those two weeks in Austin when it’s not quite either of those seasons)!
I’m itching to try the Citrus Green Tea! I still haven’t been able to find a bottle in this frozen and snow-covered state. I really do love popping open a cold bottle of Mint & Honey, so I’m guessing I won’t be disappointed when that first sip of refreshing citrusy goodness hits my lips.
Lemon Iced Tea is a universal flavor among all teas, both hot and cold. Whenever I bring a bottle of chilled Lemon Iced Tea to my lips, I’m reminded of the time I crash landed my super-orbital cruiser on a remote pacific island where the U…S Government was conducting experiments with salvaged Venusian technology.
Armed only with two bottles of Lemon Iced Tea, twine, palm leaves, scraps of titanium carbide, a 10 watt portable blue laser, and a vast knowledge of theoretical and practical astrophysics, I forged a crude but deadly effective plasma cannon I dubbed “The Island Sweeper”. The battle was bravely fought, but luck (and the element of surprise) was on my enemy’s side.
I managed to push my way through their limited defenses (it appeared to be a holiday, and most infantry and sentries had departed the island) and secure one of their experimental light-cloaking spacecraft and made a daring escape through a complex network of massive subterranean geothermal caverns that exited directly into the pacific ocean.
Sadly, the craft couldn’t withstand the immense pressure of the deep sea, and I was forced to escape from the craft by cutting through the cockpit using the very same Lemon Iced Tea plasma weapon that aided me in my fight.
After several days adrift at sea I was rescued by a Chilean shipping vessel and escorted back to the United States by a friendly coffee baron named Bucho, with whom I bartered my safe return using rudimentary schematics of the very Lemon Iced Tea weapon I deftly crafted on that dreaded island.
And so, this chapter of my story ends, and what occurred afterward is a tale I shall share when mankind is ready to hear the truth of their relationship with our neighboring planets. A truth that may very well turn our role and placement in the Galactic Caste system on its ear… and perhaps fuel a revolution.
The Diet Citrus Green Tea is my favorite! I’m a diabetic so I’m not too fond of drinking regularly sweetened drinks, this is perfect. I work in a health food store and we started carrying it recently; I love it!
Lemon iced tea hits the spot for me. One sip and I am taken away to white sands, sun and crystal clear blue waters. Yes, can you hear that? The waves crashing on the shore. When I get thirsty I think of a tall glass of lemon iced tea. The lemon taste just brings me right back to the shore. You just can’t go wrong with Sweet Leaf tea!!!
I’ve always been a tea addict, but when I discovered Sweet Leaf, it was over for me! The new Lemon is my favorite because it has a classic taste. Sweet tea with lemon? Yes, please!!! And of course, I have a special place in my heart for anything brewed in Texas.
I’ll be honest…I used to hate (yes hate) bottled tea. Then this year a girl at work offered me a Sweet Leaf Lemon Iced Tea. Since I was out of Diet Coke I swallowed my pride and decided to swallow the tea. OMG! It was like a little balls of sunshine were dancing around my mouth. I was amazed! Since that day I have been a Sweet Leaf lover. There is always bottles of it in my fridge. Lemon Iced Tea is not my favorite anymore (Peach Tea Rules), but Lemon will always be the flavor that started it all…and most importantly…cured me of my 9 cans of Diet Coke habbit :^D
Thanks!!!
LOVE THE CITRUS GREEN! When my 2 darling children (the oldest being 22 months) go down for a nap I love getting my tea out and a good book (call me strange but this is my first time on Pride and Prejudice) and I enjoy my “Mommy Time”!
Lemon iced tea – it reminds me of summertime which is a reminder everyone needs in the cold winter months! =)
I am absolutely OBSESSED with the citrus green tea. I used to be able to find it everywhere in my town and now its nearly impossible which is crazy because I live 4 hours away from Austin! Recently I bumped into a small gas station that was closing down I bought their last case of it but I finished it within a week and now I’m dying for more and can’t find any!
Citrus Green Tea is my own Granny in a bottle. I can drink t and be reminded of my childhood picking oranges from my granny’s tree picking oranges from my granny’s tree and squeezing it into that wonderful sweet tea she made. Thank you for that trip down memory lane with every sip
