Can you tell me where I can order the juice pouches? My son loves them and drinks them everyday. I used to order them from glutenfree.com but they don’t carry them anymore. Please help!

I’ve got a request into Honest Tea to find out. I’ll let you know as soon as I hear back – Lynn

I love Honest Tea, I used to buy it all the time when I lived in FL. It’s the only bottled tea that actually tastes like tea. I haven’t seen any of it here in NM though.

Yeah, it’s yummy, isn’t it? That’s the beauty of the Coke deal, though…through Coca-Cola, Honest Tea will get distribution throughout the US. So I bet you’ll see it in New Mexico soon! — Lynn

interesting interview! i have to say, the company is definitely consumer focused at the moment. we bought a big pack of the honest kids, and my kids hated it. i mean, out and out, loathed. i tried it, and it really tasted awful – like sugar water. i wrote them, wondering if maybe this was a bad batch — i love the grownup honest tea — and they sent a box for me to send it back to them so that they could test it! i don’t think that has ever happened to me before.

we’ll see if this changes once coke enters the picture…

Yeah, it’s funny, Sher…I almost expected a mini-version of the regular Honest Tea, but Honest Kids does not taste at all like the adult stuff. I think the taste grows on you…the first time my son and I tried it, we didn’t like it, but we tried it again and really liked it! Go figure…

Thanks for sharing the story about their customer responsiveness. That’s good to hear. I really don’t think things will change, at leasts not right now while Seth Goldman is running things. Remember, they are a minority investor at this point. — Lynn

one word triggers alerts in my nature loving brain. TRY.
every time someone does not wish to fully commit, they say–we’ll try–it is past time to just try, we must do.

Seth sounds very earnest and Honest-tea, i did derive a sense of hope from the interview, all the right questions were addressed.

now for the right actions to follow. we need to TRY to galvanize the packaging indusTRY.

Nadine – Love your TRY at this. Very creative and full of hones – TEA! — Lynn

Cool.

Thank you for asking Seth the hard questions about the disposal of the plastic pouch.
Seth’s answer is that they are mindful of it and trying to address the issue. Which is more than most juice/natural drinks companies.
I am also noticing the relationship between Honest Tea and Terracycle. More great things to come from that I hope
Thank you.

Hi, thanks for stopping by and really appreciate your comment. — Lynn
