I discovered Berry Hibiscus Honest Tea when our local cinema and a couple of our favorite eateries started carrying it. I loved it, not for what it was, but for what it wasn’t. An herbal tea, it had no caffeine. It wasn’t carbonated. It had no artificial sweeteners, artificial colors or flavors. There was no corn syrup on the ingredient list, and it had just enough cane sugar to keep it from tasting bitter or sour. It was difficult to find in stores, but not impossible. Then the pandemic hit. When the movie theater reopened, their wide assortment of snacks was reduced to popcorn, fountain drinks and not much else. Three years later, that still hasn’t changed. I arranged for Amazon to send me a dozen bottles every month, but they stopped in December. Now I read Coca-Cola has discontinued Honest Tea, replacing it with Peace Tea – which has ALL the ingredients I try to avoid.
