Feeling SPORTea?

A magazine advertisement offered a free sample of SPORTea, a new tea billed as "The Ultimate Daily Beverage!" Naturally, I went online and requested my free sample.

As often happens, I had forgotten about it by the time it arrived, and when I saw the word "SPORT" on the return address I *almost* threw it away until I remembered it was "SPORTea." Interestingly, the teabag was protected with bubble wrap, a first!

Also a first: I can't ever remember opening a teabag before that instantly made me sneeze, but this one did! I think it's because when I took a sniff I inhaled some of the fannings (yes, I've snorted tea now), and that wasn't a pleasant experience. But the smell was nice and lemony, so I was eager to taste this tea "with Green Tea, Vitamin C, Electrolytes & Siberian Eleuthero Root," according to the flyer that came with it. As I sipped I kept trying to remember what this reminded me of. It wasn't good, from a tea-drinking standpoint, but it was a familiar taste that wasn't dreadful, either. Then I remembered what it was: Theraflu! If you've ever tasted it with its remnants of something vaguely sourish in the cup, well, that's what SPORTea reminds me of. The sports-minded may find this worth a try, but I'll just stick with green tea as my go-to "healthy" tea for now. Have any of you tried SPORTea, and would you? I like the idea fine, I just didn't care for the taste!
