Green and Easy
Stashed Iced TeasToronto
(Aug.29.08)
We love green tea and its antioxidants (not to mention the rumoured weight loss and anti-aging benefits). Too bad it's been too hot outside for us to want any boiling beverages inside.
So when we discovered Stash Iced Teas, we knew we were on to something. Finally, a way to enjoy the green stuff without boiling, brewing or bagging a thing (or waiting for it to cool in the fridge). Simply open the packet ($3.99/box), add to a bottle of water, shake and enjoy.
We love the variety of flavours, including our favourites blueberry, mint and pom raspberry. All are made from whole Japanese Sencha green tea leaves that have been ground into a fine powder and lightly sweetened with real natural flavouring. Besides their antioxidant-power, they're only 10-50 calories per packet and taste sweetly refreshing too.
So much for not hitting our recommended daily water quota. Now that we've found Stash, that's, er, in the bag.
