I’ve had Gold Peak tea at the local Mexican restaurant and the unsweetened black tea was actually kind of tasty. Sure generic by Steepster standards but way above much of what is out there. So, I saw this green RTD in the store and brought home a 6 pack. The bottle is plastic and I think you could drive a truck over it. A nice change of pace from the super thin water bottles we’ve been getting. Anyway, so the tea is okay. What they don’t tell you on the label is this is not straight green tea. It has a peachy flavor added. Not overbearing but not what I wanted. It is also sweetened. 130 calories per 16.9 oz serving.
I would love to see a green RTD that is straight up green tea with no sweetener or flavors added.
It is drinkable. I would buy it again for grab and go. I will say I prefer Lipton Citrus Green Tea for such occasions.

Howdy. Gold Peak (plain) is one of the few bottled varieties I’ll touch.
(There was supposed to be an exclamation mark following that howdy!) You’ve been missed.
Howdy(!) back at you. ;) and thanks. I’m beginning to get the tea itch again. We’ll see how that goes.
Yep, been a while K S!
Harney RTD has almost no sugar and when I got it, it was in a glass bottle. It was so cold and refreshing. Nothing better than a cold drink in a glass bottle on a hot Southern day!
IF Harney RTD exists around here, it might be a Target – I hate Target but I go once a year to get my Celestial fix. Otherwise the gallon jug of Arizona sugar water is considered the fancy stuff.
