I too find Arizona Green Tea to be far too sweet.This brand of tea carries High Fructose Corn Syrup, in addition to honey, thus making it overly sweet for certain tastes. Now if it was just sweetened with honey, as I like to do with the tea I brew at home, this would be a good, distinct tasting product. With Arizona, the taste of green tea is completely washed out by the sugar compounds. My guess is that the folks who market this product believe that a more sugary product is a better sell, and on that they might be correct. But still, that doesn't change the fact that drinks without HFCS are a healthier bet. Tazo makes a green tea sweetened not with HFCS but rather cane sugar. It tastes sweet, but not overwhelmingly so.

Not bad, not bad. Even with the honey, this tastes way less sweet than the Sobe green tea. A 20oz bottle still runs about 15% of your recommended carb intake with about 45g of sugar.And a related pet peeve - the serving size scam on these bottles needs to stop. Does anyone really divide a 20oz bottle of iced tea into 2.5 servings?
