I was in a hurry one hot day in Chinatown, and popped into the 7-11 for a nice cold ice tea.

 

NORTEA

T
hey were out of my favourite green tea, and since I can't stand those sickly sweet lemon teas in a can, I grabbed a bottle of Nortea for a change.

 

Yes, I was a little curious that it was a bit over $6 for the bottle, but having just debited my NETS card, and being in a hurry, I took off on my way.

 

Sitting and stressing in the back of a taxi, I took my first drink and wow, was it good. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that it even has alcohol in it, about 5% by volume, as well as a blend of natural tea extracts.

Lightly carbonated and not too sweet with a subtle lemon flavour, by the end of my taxi ride I was cool and relaxed, thanks to this ice tea cooler from the pristine Cedar Valley of South Africa. Yes, its imported, yes it has alcohol in it, and yes, you too can find it at 7-11.
