This is not the Enviga drink they came out with a few years ago..nope..this is seriously green tea flavored Coca Cola. Supposedly you can have the real thing and get your health groove on at the same time.

Is it still the Real Thing?

Now, I have a son that is stationed in Northern Japan so you can bet I am going to ask him to try this stuff..or maybe send me some of it. I like Coke, I just can’t figure out why they want to keep adding weird stuff to it.

Green tea?

And..not to be outdone Pepsi is countering with a Basil infused Pepsi.

Now, let’s see if  RC adds cilantro.

You can read more about this in  MSNBC

I don’t often drink cokes anymore.

Now, when I say that you have to understand that cokes is a generic word for sweet, fizzy drinks.  Here in Texas you go to the Whataburger, and they will ask what kind of coke you want.  Dr Pepper? Root Beer? Cola? Sprite?

So, I have the occasional Italian Soda but nothing more than that..usually.  I am addicted to ice water. I drink gallons of it a day.  I seriously carry around a quart mason jar and keep it filled with ice water at all times.  I have a 5-6 lb a day ice habit.

Yes..I am anemic. Yes I know that chewing ice is a sign of anemia. Yes, I know it is bad for my teeth.

All righty then.

Cokes seem very sweet to me.  However, I saw the Java Pop and I was curious.  It is organic, Fair Trace and the coffee used is Green Mountain. I thought..Hmm..why not? I grabbed the mocha flavor (there are several flavors) and chilled it to perfection.

Ewww. I would not drink it on a train, I would not drink it in the rain.  I would not drink it on a boat, I would not, could not with a goat.

I did not like it.  The chocolate part of the mocha had a weird chemically taste, like it wasn’t real chocolate.  It was sweet. not overly sweet but the aftertaste was not great either.

SO, if you want something cold and fizzy…have a coke.  Whatever kind you prefer.
