now THIS is the money tea, baby! this is where it’s at – the little seen black & white tea, by arizona. it is the perfect blend of black tea and white tea, with just enough sweetness to drink whenever. it is by no means the sweetest tea they make, but it is not bitter at all. juuuuust right. the taste is mostly black, because it is so much stronger a tea than white, but the white balances it well, resulting in a light tasting tea, without any feeling of wanting more. a good, delicate flavor.
the added bonus here is that black & white is one of arizona’s only teas that contains no high fructose corn syrup. they use pure cane sugar. why? i’m not so sure. but the result is a nice, clean sweetness that perfectly accents the light blend of teas.
if this tea were more widely available (for some reason it’s only found at certain stores), i would buy it all the time. it would be my default tea purchase. so if you can find it, give it a try. it may not be as big a taste as you’re used to, but part of its magic is its subtlety.

Nice review…I want to try this.

Wonderful tea.. as you said the best AriZona makes. And unfortunately, it’s nowhere to be found. I even wrote to the company and no answer as of yet.

dammit arizona! why would they make such a perfect product, and then tear it away from us? well at least i’m able to find it at a few convenience stores.
let me know if they get back to you about that.
Kate
did you find this in Tampa?
Tampa Bay Food Monster
why yes! yes i did. it’s kind of hard to find, though. walgreens is an okay bet, but it’s never guaranteed.
Kate
awesome! i’ve been looking for it in Tampa, but no luck 🙁 do you know of any particular location that has it?
Tampa Bay Food Monster
i really couldn’t tell you. again, i distinctly recall seeing it in walgreens (north tampa on bbd across from the muvico), but i haven’t had one in a while. i suppose it’s possible that they aren’t around anymore… this post is a couple years old. i’ll keep a lookout for them, and if i see one i’ll comment back and let you know where i found it.
