Not sure if this is considered off topic or not - it is tea, just not normal tea. I just tried the new Peach Enviga by Coca Cola. It's peach flavored carbonated green tea. Sort of tastes like a wine cooler to me. It's only 5 cal per can, so makes for a nice low cal summer beverage. Just wondering if anyone else has heard of / tried it. A friend of mine tells me that the Berry flavor is the best, but I haven't tried that one yet.

Yes, I have tried it, alas. I don't like colas in general and avoid sweet drinks. The green tea is just an excuse for the flavoring and for the marketing hype about its healthy nature. Its claims of being negative in calories is going to keep scientists and lawyers occupied for some time. It's not really "tea" for me but a "tea drink."
But then, I am not an objective judge. I can't stand w> Not sure if this is considered off topic or not - it is tea, just not
Don't think of it as tea. Think of it as a diet soda that has some tea flavouring in it. It's probably no worse for you than any other diet soda is.
Real tea is... just tea.

Which is basically what the wine cooler guys do with wine. I mean, I have seen facilities where they take cheap white wine and run it through reverse osmosis columns to take the flavour out, then they add artificial flavour and sugar to it. It's a soda, that just happens to be made with wine or tea.

I tried something different today. I made some Hojicha green tea and mixed it with a Diet 7-up and ice. It was actually quite good. I had done this before with fruity herbal tisanes, but never with Green tea before. Seems like a good low caffeine alternative to Enviga.

Speaking of chilled, bubbly tea concoctions (that are not bubble tea), a few years ago, one of the then-regular posters described her results having tried out a cocktail of champagne mixed with oolong:

Now that sounds interesting! My boss gave me a bottle of Korbel for Christmas that I still have (not a big drinker). I think I'll have to try this one though - Holly just made it sound so compelling. Although I can't imagine steeping tea for 6 hours - so I'll probably do it the way Holly did and just steep the tea as I would normally drink it. Thank you!
