Argo Tea Carolina Honey 13.50 Ounces (Case of 12)

We first tried the tea when we were on a road trip I found some on Amazon and bought it right away. Our family loves it

I ordered a case of these because (A) We like this tea and have a hard time finding it and (B) We like to re-use the glass bottles as water bottles. I was a little hesitant to order glass bottles online due to the risk of breakage but I was Very Pleasantly Surprised that these little beauties arrived safe and sound on my doorstep. Without ANY breakage at all. I wish I had taken a picture of the Excellent Packaging done by the company. It was Awesome how these bottles were all snuggled amongst very secure packing material. Well Done!

***This is NOT a reflection of the seller. Argo Tea messed up BIG TIME***Argo Tea, the Carolina Honey flavor, has been changed. Why Argo would do this is beyond my comprehension.They have reduced the calories from 80 to 20 (seriously!), taken away nearly all of the honey taste but worst of all added stevia.Why are companies doing this?I love iced tea. I’ve tried so many brands that I’ve lost count. By far, the best of all the brands/flavors I’ve had was the ORIGINAL Argo Tea with Carolina Honey and Lemon. At 80 calories it was the perfect blend of all the things that make iced tea so refreshing. It was delicious.Then, on 7/15/21, I noticed the label had changed. I didn’t think much of it. My wife had bought about 9 bottles from the local Walgreens scooping up all they had remaining.In one sip I knew something was wrong. Where was the taste of honey and the subtle taste of lemon? And what was up with the aftertaste?I turned the bottle to look at the new label. Argo slashed 60 calories (this is so baffling to me) and added stevia.I. Hate. Stevia.There was no honey sweetness whatsoever. I couldn’t taste the lemon. What I did taste was a bland black tea and stevia.I was on-board with “New” Coke back in the day. I mean, sure it had a different taste but it wasn’t horrible.This “new” adjustment by Argo…this is DISGUSTING.Why not be the ONE iced tea that’s not too sweet, doesn’t have any preservatives but, mot of all, doesn’t have stevia. What is the obsession with stevia and who actually can say it makes things taste better. It’s like potassium sorbate used as a preservative. I can taste it every single time and it’s awful.Bye, Argo. If you ever revert back to the original Carolina Honey flavor let me know. Until then you’ve lost a customer.———————————————————————Now THIS a great tasting iced tea. The taste of the black tea with honey is amazing.On a side note, the company that sent me the package REALLY took great care in packaging. I’ve never seen such caring packaging.

I just wish they weren't so hard to find. They're expensive to have shipped, but worth it to me.

I really like Argo's teas, but can no longer find them locally, so I purchased for the first time on-line. The seller (TheNewMall) packed them incredibly well in bubble packaging designed for this kind of product packaging/bottle, but (2) bottles didn't survive the trip. The factory bottle shrink wrap was still intact, but the cap seal had been compromised (i.e.- the cap came loose). One bottle leaked slightly, but was contained in the bubble wrap, the other bottle 'turned' due to air leaking into the bottle. I cannot blame the seller on this bottling defect, where apparently the cap was either not tightened properly or the cap loosened during shipping. I tired turning the cap with the factory wrap in place and could not get it to budge in either direction, which is why I believe the issue lies back with the product bottler vs seller. All other (10) bottles are in perfect shape and the first (2) have had perfect flavor/condition.

Love this tea. I do have one concern, I had been purchasing this tea from gas stations and grocery stores in my area for about a month. When I ordered this case of tea it had a strange taste... like a garden hose... I am wondering why there is a difference and if anyone else noticed this?

I was so excited to find this online again.. but they've changed it. Too much lemon, no more honey flavor. Like an unsweetened Arnold Palmer. Deeply disappointed.

The tea is very tasty although I think it is expensive
