Member’s Mark Water

Posted on March 23, 2015 by David

This is the water that you can purchase if you are a member of Sam’s Club. The brand name is Member’s Mark. The water is good. There is a light pleasant taste at the start and has a clean finish. The ones that I tasted were in these little bottles. I have not tried the larger size bottles, but I am confident that they are the same. As it says on the package, it contains added minerals for flavor.

Joe Tea Unsweetened Black Tea

Posted on March 23, 2015 by David

I found this tea at Schmitz Deli in Greenfield. Rather then a strong single tea flavored note this tastes like a mixture of flavors. It’s not very strong and not much bite or bitterness. It’s a rather mild tea.

Sweetener: none

Tazo Organic Iced Black Tea

Posted on March 23, 2015 by David

I was surprised to find this tea. Most of the time the bottled tea I discover has too much sugar. In the past the Tazo tea I’ve tried has been too sweet. This black tea has only has 15grams of sugar, so the flavor is not dominated by sweetness. The flavor is good, it has a mild start and it’s full flavor comes through at the end. Typical of tea’s it has a slight bitterness or bite at the end and I wouldn’t mind more. Quite a nice choice and I was happy to find it.

Sweetener: Cane sugar

Amount of sweetener: 15 grams (13.8oz)
