This is my absolute favorite! Living in the South I drink sweet tea every day. I know good tea. No, this is not your normal syrupy too sweet tea. I used to buy Chick-fi too sweet tea. I used to buy Chick-fil-A sweet tea occasionally to drink at home, it's good tea. I also used to brew my own tea and became the sweet tea bringer for all family gatherings. Not by choice but I still oblige. I've regularly used Lipton, Luzianne, and Tetley tea bags for years. No matter which of those brands I used I started to notice a musty old flavor in all the sweet tea that I brewed. I tried steeping for much shorter periods of time, tried steeping in hot not boiled water. Nothing helped. No I wasn't using an old tea making apliance. Just heating water in clean pots on the stovetop. I thought maybe those tea brands were cutting corners and just didn't taste the same anymore. I resorted to trying several very expensive brands of tea bags for making brewed sweet tea. They had a better more quality flavor but I still noticed a little of that musty tea flavor. A couple years ago I decided to try Walmart's sweet tea. It met all of my requirements. It was real brewed tea (not instant), zero preservatives, no added flavors (like lemon), and sweetened with real sugar. Just normal tea. My very first impression wasn't the best, but only because it didn't taste like what I am used to. Quickly it became the only tea I drink. Here's why I love this tea. It's not too strong, it's not thick or syrupy, it's not too sweet, and no weird musty old tea leaf flavor! I know most of the negative reviews are because they say it's not sweet enough or that it's watered down. It's not watery, it's simply not as strong as some people are used to. It has enough sugar, it's just not sickly sweet. Everytime I drink brewed sweet tea from Chick-fil-A or McDonald's I get headaches, this Walmart tea does not. Walmart please keep making this tea, it's perfect! Sometimes it has a plastic taste from the container it's in but it's not bad enough to stop drinking it. That's the only thing that could be improved. I hope it's never reformulated to be stronger or more sugary. I can have some every day without my head hurting. This tea is perfect and fresh tasting. It's simply real brewed tea. Just water, sugar, and tea. With those ingredients it can't possibly be as bad as some of the reviews of it I've seen.
