At a time when it seems like most things in our society are moving in the wrong direction, one good thing is quietly happening: More and more brands are releasing more and more non carbonated, ready-to-drink alcoholic beverages. Finally! If you have a sensitive stomach and can’t slam a bunch of bubbles without getting an upset stomach, brands like Sun Cruiser and Surfside are here for you. The former, a brand known for both flavored hard teas and flavored hard lemonades in skinny cans, just released something totally new: a variety pack of uncarbonated hard teas made with white tea rather than the usual black tea or green tea.
What is white tea?
Good q! According to Twinings, it’s actually made from the same plant as black, green, and oolong teas, but the leaves are picked and dried early, before they have a chance to oxidize. It has a more delicate flavor and it usually contains less caffeine.
Can white tea stand up to vodka in premixed canned drink? Is Sun Cruiser’s White Tea + Vodka variety pack worthy of your summer cooler? I tried all four flavors to find out.
