I'm on a Tea-Kick Lately (Master Kong Tropical Iced Tea)

Master Kong Tropical Fruit Iced Tea - Hung Vuong

Colorful packaging always wins me over, and this features every color in the rainbow PLUS a bunch of appealing fruity imagery. Other than it being labeled "Iced tea" and having tons of fruit on it, I know absolutely nothing about this product but...

Technology is really amazing you guys. I have a Pixel phone, so I took a photo and ran it through Google lens, and not only did it translate some of the bottle for me instantly, but it reverse image searched and found out that this is Master Kong brand tropical fruit iced tea. (And you can scan the code on the cap for...something. Prizes I presume?) We're living in the future.

 Now that I know what it is, let's see how it tastes. 

Pinkies up! It's Tea-Time - 3 different teas (Lidl & Aldi)

Tea Time

Long story short, I like tea, but my ex was obsessed. He would steep bags of green tea, peppermint tea, jasmine tea, and black tea, all mixed up, for hours at a time. Tea snobs would probably have a heart attack looking at the concoctions he made, but, I enabled him. (My bad.) Especially during the pandemic. 

He went through tea so quickly that last March, when things started shutting down, I stocked up. People probably thought I had a bunker somewhere, but with his heavy usage of about 12 bags a day, what I bought would have been about 2 months worth. Imagine a large kitchen drawer filled with peppermint and green tea bags. Not long after that, he was gone. And here I am, STILL drinking peppermint tea over a year later. (Because I'm stubborn and hate wasting things.)  

I am so sick of peppermint tea. So let's shake things up with some fruity summer flavors from Lidl and Aldi.   

Hello, is it Tea You're Looking For? - Iced Tea Flavored Candy

Tea Candy, Classic Iced Tea - Gift from Work

I actually found an awesome Lionel Richie mug with that exact saying at the thrift store. 

Most of you know that I got a new job a few months ago, I'm still a graphic designer, but instead of making business cards and custom invites, I'm working with food! Right before the holidays I received a big gift basket filled with different specialty products, like these tea-flavored candies. They sound really refreshing, so let's get this review started!

Oh Say Can You Tea! (Limited Edition) Snapple -Target

Welp, I'm still sick and when you're sick you're supposed to drink tea. While I'm 110% sure this tea won't be all that beneficial or hasten my recovery, I'm going to drink it anyway, 'cause 'Merica. (Plus it has an eagle on it, and that's freaking hilarious.)

"Irreplaceable Taste."  I think I already love this.

I've been wanting to try this for a while, but I never really got around to it. These teas were always restocked, so I figured I might as well buy the specialty/seasonal products that come and go instead of this one that seems to be a grocery staple. It wasn't going anywhere, so there's no rush. Then, a few months ago, one of my former co-workers posted a photo of this on Facebook saying how delicious it was, and that was all the push I needed. Into my cart it went and here we are with the official review!
