Taste Test: TeaZazz Sparkling Teas

Lately we've been receiving a lot of tea to try at the office. We've also been witnessing a lot of beverage companies swapping the high-fructose corn syrup in their drinks for pure cane sugar. So it comes as no surprise that the latest rising beverage on the market is TeaZazz, a carbonated tea made with sugar that markets itself as a healthier hybrid soft drink.

TeaZazz comes in four different flavors: original, green tea mint, green tea lemon, and peach. Curious, I tried the first two. To hear what I thought, read more.

When I opened the sparkling teas, they made a fizzy release noise. They were definitely carbonated but tasted about 50 percent less carbonated than a standard can of soda. As for the soda's taste, I liked the flavor of the original tea; it had an authentic black tea taste. I didn't care at all for the green tea mint, however. Carbonated mint tea just didn't go over well with me — I almost felt as though I was drinking fizzy, diluted mouthwash. The drink is made from sugar syrup, but it also contains sucralose, an artificial sweetener, and that too had a discernible taste. Those who loathe diet drinks won't like TeaZazz, either.

Have you seen or tried TeaZazz? I'm curious to hear your thoughts on it.

    I drink tons of unsweetened hot tea every day, but strangely enough I can't stand iced tea. This stuff doesn't sound tasty either - I'm sticking to Twinings Earl Grey. Smiling

    Sounds good to me. Your reason for not liking the mint tea is the same reason I can't drink mojitos. It tastes like drinking toothpaste to me.

    i saw this at the store the other day and didn't really know what to think of it. i'm not really one to like carbonated drinks - so i'm guessing that this one isn't for me. thanks for sharing information on it though - at least i know that it wouldn't make sense for me to spend the $$

    Gotta say that I'm not much of an iced tea fan. If I need an iced pick-me-up, I'll have an iced coffee. And if I'm just in the mood for a cool sipping drink, a Pimm's cocktail is the way to go.

    I'm a bit of tea purist type of gal. I don't do tea that's been artificially sweetened, unless it's lipton ice tea, mainly because its cheap lol. And this fizzy mint tea sounds kind of gross. I mean minty fizzy tea? What were they thinking? I'm all for adding fresh mint leaves to my tea, but adding fizz is just a no-no.
