Do you ever have this happen: You go into a grocery store, but it’s not your regular grocery store, so you have to wander around to find things? That happened to me at Publix recently, and it wasn’t my usual Publix, so I was on a search for their Tarragon Chicken Salad, which is one of my favorite of the store-bought chicken salads. As I searched, I spotted this bottled tea.
Has Publix been offering flavored teas for a while and I just didn’t know it? I’m usually a Kroger girl (Alex was a Publix shopper), but sometimes, my local Publix is a little more convenient. At any rate, I certainly was eager to try this Limited Edition Peach Cranberry Chai. To be honest, the combo sounded distinctly iffy to me.
But you know what? It was great! I wouldn’t have ever thought this blend would be this good as an iced tea, but it was delicious, especially with that extra bit of spice from the chai. And oh yes, it’s a sugary drink, to be sure (220 calories and a whopping 52 grams of sugar per $1.79 bottle), but boy, was it worth it. I will try to ignore it next time I go in Publix—but I do think I'll try to concoct an unsweetened version of this tea with my own peach, cranberry, and chai teas!
That’s a combination I would not have thought to try, but I’m glad it was good.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you were pleasantly surprised by this tea! I wouldn't have even tried it, with that odd flavor combination and so much sugar.
ReplyDeleteI shop at Publix weekly and I've never seen this tea or the Tarragon Chicken Salad. I'm adding both to my list. Thanks for the recommendations.
ReplyDeleteThe combination does sound unusual, but since you thought it tasted good, I might try to concoct my own version as well! There’s no Publix near me, and I could do without extra sugar anyway!
