Helpful consumer product review: Sobe Green Tea
The person who invented Sobe Green Tea should be dragged out into the street and beaten. Not to within an inch of his life, but enough so that he remembers to never ever do such a thing again. Bad! Bad inventor man!
The same goes for Sobe Oolong Tea.
It was a hot day in sunny California, and I wanted a nice refreshing and cool beverage. I walked into a little grocery, and in the cooler case was an enormous bottle of very refreshing-looking GREEN TEA! Imagine that, here I was, so far from Japan, but with the ultimate refreshment right there. I bought a bottle and walked outside, waiting hardly a second to twist off the cap and tilt my head back. Quenchment, ahoy! Gulp-huh-sugar!!?? There’s sugar in green tea??!!! Check again, yes, it’s sugar.
I threw the rest into the garbage can that was thoughtfully placed outside for this purpose, and went back into the store. I can’t remember my thinking at the time, but when I saw the bottle of Sobe Oolong Tea, I must have been so overcome with the anticipation of drinking oolong tea and clearing out the previous beverage’s taste that I didn’t stop to consider the possibility that it too was packed with sugar. It was.
I abhor Sobe Green Tea, I loathe Sobe Oolong Tea, and I detest the thinking behind the marketing of these unredeemable beverages.
I heard that Sobe Green Tea is really…PEOPLE!!! Sobe Green Tea is PEOPLE!!!!
Well that would explain why they had to add sugar – people aren’t that sweet on their own :D
They’re doing it everywhere.
Here in Portugal Lipton launched a new “ICE TEA GREEN (with natural GREEN TEA extracts”" (the words in uppercase are the really big letters) and they’re saying Green Tea everywhere in their commercials.
The truth? Water, fructose and grapefruit flavor. Oh yeah, and 0,16% “green tea “extracts.
I’ll make my own tea and cool it, thank you very much.
For a while now I have been only drinking water and cut soda and juice out of my diet almost completely (unless it is 100% all natural). I rarely ever drink anything hot unless it has Lemon in it (and NEVER Coffee), but I’m getting a little bored of only having a Lemon drink when I need something hot, plus, I want something healthier. Just recently I bought Green Tea because I heard that it is really good for you, but I think it is disgusting. I don’t really want to give up on it but I don’t want to add sugar or ‘splenda’ either, is there any other green teas I can try that taste better?
Sobe Green Tea is probably the worst-tasting stuff they make. Aftertaste is overpowering and very unpleasant.
yeah SoBe green tea kinda tastes like piss, there is the rare occasion of finding one that doesn’t, but of course there’s sugar in it. If you didn’t want sugar you should have got SoBe lean with splenda. Or if you didn’t want sugar at all why were you looking at all the bottled drinks? Everything has sugar in it nowadays. Next time just get a water
I ACTUALLY LOVE SOBE GREEN TEA.
