Jantics

Some of you know that I’ve been on a tea kick lately.
And yeah, I’ve become one of those people that buys it by the gallon.
I’ve tried all sorts of varieties.  Southern Sweet tea, Green tea with lemon, Sweet tea with lemon, and this stuff that’s half lemonade and half tea.
Faygo makes a version of it that’s regular sweetness, but there’s also this stuff by “Arnold Palmer” that’s a “lite” verson with one-third the calories of the usual version.
I’m drinking some right now.
I wasn’t sure I’d like it, but I have to admit, I think it’s not bad.
It’s interesting.
I’m not sure exactly how it’s sweetened.  (I mean, sure, I could get up and look at the label, but that would involve me having to actually get up.)
What intrigues me is this unusual taste it has at the end.  It’s… hard to describe.  Sort of grassy and herby and…. skunky, but in a good way.
Has anyone ever used that phrase before, in the history of the universe?
“It tastes skunky, but in a good way.”

I probably shouldn’t get a job as a restaurant critic.

“Oh, my, these pork chops are interesting.  They’re like burnt plastic, but I mean that in the complimentary sense.  And this breadstick is divinely reminiscent of sawdust!”

Anyway, yeah, the tea’s not bad.  Really.
I’ll probably buy it again, the next time I’m in the mood for grassy herby skunk juice.
With lemon.
