Nice tasting with a minimum of caffeine

If you are like me & don't like to drink caffeine, then this is the drink for you. One packet of this has about 80 mg* of caffeine, so it's enough to get you going but not enough to make you crash later unless you are extremely sensitive. If you normally drink lots of caffeine, this probably won't affect you at all & I would recommend trying the wild strawberry flavor which has far more caffeine in it. It doesn't have the extra stuff that focus does, but it will give you more of a "buzz".

Now for flavor. If you are a fan of orange/citrus drinks, odds are that you'll like this. The flavor reminds me of a mix between a McDonald's orange drink & a sports drink. I have to admit that it took about 2 packets for the flavor to grow on me, though.

*The box says 40 mg per serving, but the packet contents are actually for TWO servings, not one. If you are extremely caffeine sensitive or can't have caffeine then you may want to skip this drink entirely.

Nice coffee taste,  Sugar free and satisfying.

This is a good tasting coffee. Nice flavour but a little too strong for me as I prefer a lighter coffee. I'm trying out different organic coffees and hope to find one with just the right flavour and strength.

I enjoy this coffee and drink it whenever I cannot have a brew.  It is the close to the brew taste and I like the flavor - I use two packets for 1 cup to make it stronger.

This energy drink, unlike the blackberry/cranberry one, has a distinct flavor. I taste the pineapple very well with just a hint of the orange as a backup.

The fizz is not too strong, just enough to put a tingle in your mouth. As far as the energy it gives, it's ok. I am not a big caffenie user so it is doing well for me. Others who need a big boost of caffenie may not find enough of it in here and/or the can is too small.

I think it's pretty good for getting a little buzz of energy and getting a daily dose of veggies.

I'm not supposed to drink caffeine so I settle for half caff and this one tastes great.

It's only "okay" for people who need caffeine to live, it doesn't give a jolt or jitters but it will help you if you really don't want another cup of coffee after 2 p.m.

Blue BAWLS - The flavor to me is very much like a fruity 7-Up. It's carbonation level is maybe a 3 out of 5 (has bubbles but doesn't fizz every time you sip, but doesn't cause gas/burping). Sweetness is a little higher than I usually prefer, and can be sickly-sweet for some people.

Red BAWLS - The flavor is a light cherry, not like cough syrup flavor but definitely an imitation cherry. Carbonation level is a 4 out of 5 (usually fizzes every sip, can cause some burping). Sweetness is just about right for me, but is still a little too high for some folks.

Geek B33R - Best. Schtuff. Ever. Awesome root beer flavor, a little more on the spice & vanilla side. Carbonation level is a 3 out of 5 and sweetness is perfect for me and the folks I know. (Best idea ever: Geek Beer + Dippin Dots)

I don't like warm beverages, so I try to brew and drink things cold. I also like caffeine. So my drink reviews are based around these two axes, as well as flavor.

Wisdom of the Ancients Instant Yerba Mate Tea - Brewed Cold:

Brew Method (Five out of Five): I take about a half a tablespoon of the powder (that's about six servings, IE 160 some odd mgs of caffeine), drop it in a mason jar, and add water. It froths up a lot, no idea why, so waiting for that to go down before getting to fill it all the way is part of the process. If you compare this to the methods I use to coldbrew guayusa, this is absolutely nothing.

Subjective Caffeine Experience (Three out of Five, if Coffee is a One): The energy I get off of this feels cleaner than coffee (IE, less of a sharp reduction in effectiveness and less suddenly tired). It definitely has that 'all my atoms are rattling' feeling you can get off of coffee, but with less of the fried brain feeling (although it still happens). There is a more noticeable comedown than with guayusa, but definitely less so than coffee. I try to sip throughout the day, but sometimes I end up with a half-jar or so by 5pm. If I drink that, I will struggle to sleep, which isn't true for guayusa.

Flavor (Five out of Five): Mild, very much like green sun-tea to me,  and less of that 'gasoline' smell and taste I associate with hot brewed dry leaf yerba mate. I don't add anything to this and sip it throughout the day (and as I'm writing this, even). I even like the taste more than cold-brewed yerba mate, though I couldn't tell you why. Still not as nice as some brands of guayusa. Also goes just fine in smoothies without messing up flavor to add a little morning energy.

Summary - Four and a Half out of Five. I'll round up because it's still a lot better than coffee and it's lasting a long time for the price. Mild taste, not as great as some guayusa, and you have to be careful not to drink it too late, but the convenience easily makes up for this.

This is a lemonade tasting energy drink that has the caffeine equivalent of one cup of coffee.  I like the flavor and I like the vitamins in it. I did not notice any increase in my alertness or brain power other than that I would get from drinking coffee.

This seems like a better choice for me than Coffee. I like the taste, It contains 50% of the daily value of Vitamins E, B6 and B12.  It is calorie free. It contains sucralose which I use as an artificial sweetener so that is not a problem for me but may be for those who do not use artificial sweeteners.  It does not give me coffee breath. Plus it is made in the USA.

I gave this four stars because I like it for all the reasons stated above but I did not notice any increase in alertness or brain power.

I love this coffee, it is a mild taste with a good dose of caffeine to help make it through the day.  I have one or two cups in the morning and that is all the caffeine it needs.  I love the smooth mild taste of this brand!

Some of the best energy drinks I've tried, not to mention they work very well despite the relatively low amount of caffeine.

During the day my wife and I like to drink a cup of hot  tea, especially in the winter and late fall. We like this country peach passion tea because it tastes good and it is caffeine free. It also contains no additives or preservative or artificial coloring. Since we are trying to void caffeine this is an ideal replacement for our afternoon coffee.

It is great just to drink by itself or with a couple of cookies for an afternoon snack. We either use a touch of honey in the tea or Splenda when we are watching our calories. This is a great tasting tea and we enjoy it often. I recommend it.

Pretty decent espresso.  Has a bit of a chocolaty taste and aroma.  Seems to me to be a pretty light blend.

I love the red berry flavor.  It's kind of a light vitamin water flavor.  Not carbonated and not too sweet.  The berry flavor does not need to be ice cold.  I never drink moe than one in a day and never late afternoon unless I have a long drive ahead.  It's only one cup of offe worth of caffeine but I don't drink a lot of caffeine.  It does seem to help put a smile on my face so the citric online may add value.  It sometimes makes me a bit antsy though, but not to an extreme.  The only other flavor I've tried is lemonade and that was terrible.  I will stick to the berry.

This coffee is pretty great but I think if you're looking at this you already know that it's great tasting.

However, in terms of packing, it comes in 100 individual packs. They're awesome for small pick me ups during the day. I put them in my backpack or a bring a handful to work. The key is that it takes two packets for a normal sized mug of coffee.

Using one packet is fine too, it's a bit more watery but much less sugary.

It's caffeine in a handy form.  Expect the usual effects and side effects of caffeine; it does help you feel awake, but I wouldn't expect it to provide hours of crash-free wakefulness.  It is clearly more convenient than common caffeinated drinks, with benefits such as fewer pit stops and the absence of coffee breath.

The taste is a non-issue to me and I'm surprised people are commenting on it, but I did expect it to taste mildly bitter.  It's apparent that the makers also consider the flavor a big issue, as the gum contains sugar, aspartame, sucralose AND corn syrup.  -1 star from 4 stars for that reason.

Smooth and mellow flavor, not acidic. I try to use shade-grown coffee and this seems to be one of the better ones to my palate. Doesn't seem to contain as much caffeine, so I end up drinking more during the day. Good and bad.
