Bottled Iced Tea: Gold Peak Unsweetened

At last!  A bottled iced tea whose primary defect is not being overly sweet.  Gold Peak Unsweetened has the sharp bite of true black tea, the nicely bitter tang that clears your palate and refreshes.  In short, it's bottled tea that tastes like tea, not like whatever the trendy flavoring du jour happens to be.  Unfortunately, it's not particularly good black tea.  It's got one note, without any of the complexities that a good black can have even when iced.

Several local diners and restaurants are now also carrying it in carafes.  In that form, it has a little more character than the bottled form, but just a little.

That being said, if you want a bottled tea that tastes like actual tea without needing to spend a fortune, Gold Peak Unsweetened does the job.
