Harborside Raspberry Iced Tea Review

While shopping at the Laurel, Maryland Dollar Tree store, I stumbled upon some Harborside Raspberry Iced Tea. As I like iced tea, I decided to try it. Like most things at Dollar Tree, the 2 liter bottles sell for a $1. The iced tea uses black tea, natural flavoring, high fructose corn syrup to sweeten it, potassium sorbate and potassium benzoate to preserve it and some other chemicals whose purpose I don't know.

Taste wise, it's ok. I suspect the main thing with this ice tea is it's cheap. It's a decent iced tea that can be had for a very reasonable price.

Overall, I think I would prefer Arizona Iced Tea over this because it doesn't have all the chemicals including the preservatives. However, you will pay more for Arizona Iced Tea. I think a gallon of it was $2.29 at a base commissary close by (I'll find out the specific price and correct this later). If you want a cheap iced tea, Harborside Raspberry Iced Tea might be for you. Lastly, I believe it does come in another flavor though I don't remember what that flavor is (will find out later and correct that too). Happy drinking all.
