Iced tea is a staple in many people's fridges and now Trader Joe's is offering a cost-effective option for tea lovers in the form of its new Black Tea Unsweetened Beverage.
Trader Joe's new Black Tea Unsweetened Beverage takes care of all the trouble of brewing and steeping copious amounts of black tea by doing the work for you. The result is a one-gallon jug of perfectly steeped, kettle-brewed black tea. While the tea will certainly deliver a caffeine boost, you won't find any added sweeteners in here. This makes the Black Tea Unsweetened Beverage the perfect base for your favorite garnishes and flavorings, like a fresh lemon or lime wedge, a sprig of mint, or even a little lemonade.
