I mean, as a primary market? I'm hearing all this stuff about additives and colors, etc. In tea, and all I want is JUST TEA. It's becoming quite frustrating learning about how these people conduct business to increase weight, and improve color of their tea. Is it radical to want JUST tea?
I'm extremely tired, worked the late shift plus 4 hours. I must go to bed.
Best regards,
Dan
I hate to say it, but this is the case for almost all products in the US. Ever tried to find grape juice that ISN'T from concentrate and doesn't have glycol added?

Daniel, are you talking about bottled teas? There's a brand out there that (I think) is called Honestea that is pretty stripped down for a bottled beverege, some of it's stuff has a little sugar in it and some doesn't but it's about the most "unadulterated" bottled tea I can see here. Also, (and this is also for you Scott, in regards to the grape juice) try natural food stores. There are so many people with food allergies these days or who are trying to avoid one chemical or another that are in foods that at a natural foods store you find the products that cater to them-or us as the case may be. (Note that I have not actually looked at the label for grape juice so I don't know what's in it...the concentrate part is a tough one to get around. You could buy a juicer?) I know they make not-from-concentrate apple juice, wonder why there's no grape juice like that...
Also, as regards tea...I haven't found a lot of actual loose leaf tea that's been adulterated, the closest I have some is when I got a shipment of rooibos that had been WAY overflavored for my taste and whether those flavors were real or not is not to be known....I usually stick to unflavored C. sinensis though. Added flavors really get in the way for me of the inherent goodness of the tea itself (because I buy good tea). I have personally to my knowledge not run across loose leaf tea that has color or (unnannounced) flavors or additives in it.
No affil. with brands mentioned Melinda
You're a bit hard on American wines. They don't add window cleaning liquid in all of them.

Glycol? Is that legal?

I'm not talking about wines, I am talking about unfermented grape juice! The crap that Americans put into wine is EVEN WORSE.

One word: TEJAVA.
Every Trader Joe's I've been in carries it. I won't touch any other bottled tea.

Try shopping at Trader Joe's or other natural food stores.

Dan,
I have been very happy with Silk Road Teas. I believe In Pursuit of Tea also sells pure leaf, very nice tea as well.
