You are easily one of my very favourites here on CZcams. Your content is so unique, wholesome, and educational. You are also a natural in front of the camera! Having English as a third language, you have the perfect speed and clearity for me to understand everything you say. I suffer from anxiety and your videos on your channels are so calming and interesting to watch. Thank you so much! ❤
And sadly the person couldn't sold the tea long enough, that it got featured in CZcams with the person's writing for forever. It makes me wonder what irrelevant and inconsequential actions we take knowingly or unknowingly, and where and in what form it ends up documented.
Looking at these old containers bring back warm fuzzy memories of mom so close to Mother’s Day! She loved instant ice tea and always bought the nestea brand when I was growing up, in the late 60s through the 70s🤗
I'm from the south so we don't believe in instant tea 😂 but my mom made my late father a big ol picture of southern iced tea and bring him and ice cold glass after he mowed the lawn. Once I got old enough to do it we'd take turns because we only had 1 mower and my mom would bring him a glass during his "break", and me the same way.
I remember when I was a kid we always had instant tea in the house. It would cake up and you would have to smash it up with a spoon. It still tasted okay, but then again, that was the 70's...I can only imagine how it tastes now!
Back when I was in high school in the late 80's my friend and I would stay up all night playing Nintendo and drinking quarts and quarts of REALLY strong sweet tea. His folks were from the south so that was my introduction to sweet tea. I still enjoy it from time to time
This my absolute comfort channel. I love your curiosity and authenticity. Thanks for not using flashy and wild montages like most channels do, this is so much nicer to watch!
I'm actually really glad you don't have an intro. Video starts and you get right into it 👍 thank you for your time your videos are always interesting I love the past my friend.
Oooo, I know this topic. I grew up on these yucky bottled powdered teas. They are one reason I will only use tea bags to make ice tea, never powder. I recognize the Lemon Nestea jar you have as being from the 70's. The teas didn't taste great even when new. People might remember the 70's commercial to "take the Nestea plunge!", which was falling backward into a pool with a glass of iced tea!
If you switch from bagged tea to loose, you’ll find the quality of your end product will skyrocket. Bagged tea is made with “dust,” and the best flavors are found with pekoe and orange pekoe (OP) cuts.
Despite Arizona having A LOT of sugar within their products, their teas are outstanding quality for the price. Subjectively, raspberry is my favorite from their product line-up.
I live on the Sweet. I do agree it's a bit too sweet at times, especially the fruit flavours. I also echo the price point praise. The Prez/ceo guy said he'd not raise his prices during this inflationary period. Citing price gouging. Gives me even more reason to love the stuff.
@@babsbylow6869 Wow that is IMPRESSIVE that Arizona Tea CEO said no price increase! Must be one of the needles in the haystack who isn't totally focused on greed.
@@babsbylow6869 so much for the “no price increases” huh? Arizona is now $1.59 a can everywhere in my area. Even no longer has .99 printed at the top of the can any more... ugh
I think the smaller Nestea jar is older than the bigger Nestea jar. The smaller one had no zip code for the address, whereas the larger one did. Zip codes came in common usage in the late 60’s, so I think the smaller jar is early 60’s.
I used to drink that stuff back then and you made those waaaaay too strong! Not sure you took into consideration how much it reduced in size when measuring. And I think I remember some of them being unsweetened.
The way you have your room decorated reminds me of my grandma's old house, and she always had tea in her house, including the instant kind. This brings back some good old memories. Love your videos.
I'd be interested in a video on either channel where you talk a bit about your background etc. You produce very unique content; it would be cool to know more about the guy that makes it.
I used to order instant tea by the case (6 big jars ) Nestea from Walmart. Couldn’t find it in the stores. Then my husband stopped drinking it and switched to just ice water. I Just donated 3 full jars to the food pantry. I like making iced tea for me with Red rose tea bags in spring water.
Really enjoyed the Tea Taste Test. You are braver than we are. We saw the ounces on the Lemon Nestea, 4 oz container. Looking at the Tender Leaf Tea container it also looks like 4 oz. Question are The Tetley and the First container of Nestea 2 oz jars? The First and Third jars were wax paper seals. The Tetley and the Lemon Nestea appeared to have a paper with foil reinforcements seals. The wax paper would not have held up for any length of time as you saw with the way the first one tasted. Still this was a great test. Keep up the good work. We really enjoy your videos. Ralf and Susan Atlanta, GA.
The dreaded ice-tea "brick" found a few times in our pantry over the decades. Thanks for trying each tea both without/with sugar. Your descriptions are perfect, esp "Sludge" tea. 😒 😊🖖
I grew up in the 70's. The plug of tea was fairly common back then since AC wasn't as common and once you opened them they grabbed humidity out of the air fast. if you had any that was more than a year or two old that was what you got.
Interesting, never thought of that I also wonder if the seals mattered, one of the teas that stayed loose had a metal foil seal while the other ones were a waxed paper
A few years ago I gave up soda and switched to Iced tea. I made my own iced tea from loose tea leaves and mixed them with Iced tea mix. I found iced tea mix too sweet but mixing it with different kinds of tea worked out great. You are right we use much too much sugar in modern times.
I remember drinking that old lemon flavored Nestea in 1973.. so yep possibly made in the 60s. Boy that jar brought back a lot of memories. I still have the long handled spoons we used in making a glass of that tea. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for sharing, especially Mother's Day weekend as this certainly brought me back to my childhood. As a wee-youngster, Mom would often let me "cook' in the kitchen by counting the scoops of tea mix and sugar.
I remember mixing myself a glass of instant Nestea all the time when I was a teenager in the 80s. It was actually pretty good, especially with sugar and ice. They still had the same glass bottle in the 80s as the one that you have on the right.
While I don't drink tea often, I do enjoy the herbal, caffeine-free kinds. 🍵 I always had the notion that tea takes quite a while to spoil since in the movie PSYCHO II (1983), the lead character finds some tea from 23 years previous and makes it without a second thought of its viability. Thanks for the education. ෴ Cheers to your sugar usage!
I can’t believe it’s been 3 years since I started watching your videos 😮😮 please never stop making them you’re the most entertaining youtuber that’s still around
i remember these teas when i was a kid in the 70's nobody ever made hot tea with them but they are unsweetened, personally i think you used way to much for the size of the glass, those are table spoons and i guess it goes with out saying the spoon full is supposed to be a tea spoon and not a heaping one. if you try them again just use a little, the tea should be a transparent color like cream soda
if you have a compost pile, just throw the bad tea onto it. and you can pour that tea into your plants (except for the lemon one, as it may contain sweeteners.)
My first experience with matcha tea powder was a 10 year old tin. I thought it tasted gross but i think that was because i didnt make it properly. I havent had matcha since, its a thing i should try again fresh.
My mother-in-law in japan spoiled me with matcha. We have the same brand and no matter what, I can’t get it to taste as good as she makes it. It’s so simple so all I can think is the water makes a bigger difference than I thought.
Typhoo still make a white instant tea and PG Tips and Tetley offer instant black teas in a jar, I use the Typhoo one often as I can't stomach milk too much but dried milk powder doesn't set off the gutaches so usually have that or a Yorkshire Tea "toast n jam" with powdered milk... serious business over here in the UK is tea lol
I'm fairly sure I got diabetes from just watching all that sugar go into those glasses. Love your content. Genuinley one of the best authentic content creators. ❤️
I always wondered what was the point of companies changing their logos every decade or so, and it never occurred to me until I had to date some ancient, unopened Gatorade that logo changes are perfect for dating old food. The Gatorade was the blue flavor, determined from the logo on the bottle to be from around when the blue flavor was first introduced to the market, and had been discovered on the shelf of an elderly couple along with some other ancient foods back in 2021...I wish I knew about your channel back then, I would have saved that stuff and sent it to you to open instead of throwing it away. Some of those cans and bottles were terrifying and I'm pretty sure some of them dated way back to the early 80s.
I remember when I was very young in the 60's we would have something called redi-tea it was liquid and you mix it in water but I'm talking about when I was very very young. I can't remember very much though.
You can easily and very cleanly open these kind of seals by poking the seal with your thumbs fingernail and then going all around the edge of the glass, cutting the seal open with your fingernail. You need a reasonably long fingernail for that of course, to be able to cut through the seal. It's a bit hard for me to explain in english. It works as if you would go in with a knife and cut out the seal around the inner diameter of the glasses "mouth?"
I love trying to guess how old things are, so I looked at some vintage Tender Leaf stuff. Orange is very indicitive of the 70s, but It seems they only used red & not orange, so I guess it's discolored, maybe from years of sun exposure. The striped lid came in the late 50s & around 61-62 they switched to a shapely, less basic jar, to this is probably from the 1959-1962. I think the one from 1960 looked the most similar from top to bottom, with only the price label on the front missing. Funny you say that the first tea smells oddly chocolately. I have that same issue with...... Oyster sauce. I have no idea why.

@@guitarcheology I would just guzzle out of my mom’s glass of tea when she wasn’t looking!

Despite Arizona having A LOT of sugar within their products, their teas are outstanding quality for the price. Subjectively, raspberry is my favorite from their product line-up.

Also agree except my favorite is green tea with ginseng
