My New Hotness: Good Earth Tea
I Love this tea. Seriously, I sleep with a box in my arms every single night, excited that in 6 or 7 hours I will get to drink it’s sweet and spicy, energy injecting goodness. I have never had a better tasting tea in my life. Green tea? I can live without it. Black tea is my new hotness…literally… Specifically Good Earth Original.
Brian St. Pierre actually turned me onto this stuff when I was visiting Cressey Performance a while back. When I smelled it I immediately asked what kind of tea it was. Brian went into the trash and got the wrapper for me so I could track the tea down and try it myself. He said that he bought his from Whole Foods, unfortunately, there isn’t a whole foods near my house so I tried four separate stores before ordering mine off Amazon.com. Amazon has a 6 box pack for under $20. Whole Foods sells the tea for $4/box. A pretty nice savings if I do say so myself. It is even cheaper if you subscribe (I have for 1 case/month).
Each serving is 3 calories and has about 50mg of caffeine. If you want to replace that morning cup of coffee with something different this would be a great alternative. Black tea has been shown to work as an anti-inflammatory in some studies as well . No sweetener is needed, trust me! Black tea is jam packed with antioxidants as well, like it’s green brother.
Good Earth also has a Caffeine Free version which tastes just as good. I am drinking a cup right now at 8:30pm. I really love this stuff. And please don’t stress out about 3 freakin’ calories.
Buy some, you won’t regret it.
