Arizona no carb flavored green tea
 
I was just wondering if you like the new Arizona Green Teas? I purchased the blueberry and white-cranberry apple and LOVE them! How about you?

Hmm, I have not tried these. I used to LOVE the regular Arizona Green Tea (I still have 2 containers that I'm going to give away). I have tried the Arizona Diet Green Tea, but I did not like the taste at all. I won't drink it now because I've stopped ingesting aspartame. Mel, are these just plain flavored teas without sweetener, or do they have some non-sugar sweetener added?

I bought a gallon of the Diet Green Tea. It was just so-so. I finished the gallon, but then I just refilled it after brewing my own green tea. The thing I didn't like about it is that it has a little honey in it. Not enough to up the carb count, but I thought it made it taste a little funny.

Thanks for the info Mel! I'll have to check around my neighborhood and see if anyone is carrying these blends.

BTW, you look FANTASTIC; you've done a tremendous job! Congrats!

I love the Arizona Diet Green Tea, so I'll have to try these new flavored varieties.

Forgot to say that I bought it from Walgreens.

and Mike, thanks! :)

Tried it (cranaberry apple or something like that) and I loved it!

yummy
 
Bought a case at Costco and loved them, as did dh who is a die-hard sweet tea drinker. (For those of you not from the South, sweet tea is iced tea that is sweetened with as much sugar as coke while the tea is hot so all that sugar dissolves) I've been bummed out since I haven't found it there since - thanks for the tip of finding it at Walgreens! I like it because to me it tastes like Crystal light, not tea. I don't like the plain diet green tea because it does taste like tea. Dh also likes the Arizona diet raspberry iced tea, and he hates diet soda.

I hate them.

4g of sorbitol is not only unnecessary, but enough to put many of us into gastric distress.

If they had just used Splenda (only), it would be a much better beverage.

White Cranberry Apple, and my favorite fruit of all time Blueberry both rock.

These are the only two flavors out right now according to their Web site at www.arizonabev.com

BTW, they have an ad on their homepage for Atkins for Life.

I found some of the regular Arizona Diet Iced Tea made with Splenda in my local supermarket. Just 1g carbs per serving. I'm chilling it now, I hope it tastes O.K.

I went to their site and took the survey about which Arizona product I liked the best and in what packaging. The also have a space to fill in what you would like to see them have. I entered in a buncha NoCarb flavors, LOL!

I used to like the diet Raspberry, but I haven't seen that in years. I tried the blueberry no-carb green, it was ok, nothing special. I really like the diet peach snapple.

bonesigh Mon, Mar-08-04 10:16

Well, I tried the Arizona Diet Green Tea iced tea sweetened with Splenda. It's not bad. Not great, but not bad. It sure tastes better that the prior version sweetened with aspartame (yuck). I'll buy this on occasion in the future.
