Samurai Energy Raspberry Green Tea
Cost: $? 20 oz
Active ingredients: Caffeine(88mg), Taurine, B5, B6, B12, Guarana
Rating: 7.5 out of 10

A energy Tea? Yes, apparently after trying most soda flavors a company decided why not just add some more energy to a drink many people already like. I think that is pretty smart, some people like Tea more than coffee but don't get the kick out of it that you get from coffee or energy drinks. So this is a caffeined up, taurine containing, and energize tea. Overall, I liked the taste it was a refreshing light raspberry flavor that I thought was smooth. If you really like sodas the other drinks might be better for you, but if you don't like carbonation very much but still want a bit of a jolt this could be right for you. I also like that this drink doesn't pack a ton of sugar, so you don't crash from it later, that combine with guarana guarantee a smooth long lasting effect. I would say that means this drink is better for studying, work, and other activities when you are looking to stay focused. A ton of sugar seems to hinder the ability to stay focused. So I give a thumbs up to the drink overall, why just a 7.5? I guess I am just not a huge Tea fan, I like sodas a bit more, teas aren't mixers, and I tend to have energy drinks for partying more than anything else. If i was studying or working though this would quickly move closer to the top of my list, much like Gorilla Juice has for just a pick me up. Nice entry to the market keep it up.
