Wize Mango Iced Tea is a refreshing and waste-reducing beverage that gives new life to coffee leaves, which are usually discarded as part of the process of harvesting coffee beans. The canned drink is lightly caffeinated, rich in antioxidants and it's said to have a smooth taste that taps into the full-bodied and lightly sweet flavor of coffee leaf. While many tea leaves are naturally bitter, the coffee leaf sets itself apart in this way and Wize adds just a single gram of cane sugar to naturally enhance the taste of the beverage.
While canned coffee beverages are often heavy on the caffeine and sugary syrups and can cause undesirable side effects, coffee leaf tea offers a refreshing alternative to both coffee and regular iced tea beverages.
