Tea Drops puzzled me when I first encountered them, a marketing gimmick aimed at eliminating the waste of teabags. They individually package each drop in its own wrapper, using the mantra that the envelope is recyclable. How is this an improvement over loose tea leaves, easily composted or thrown in the garden? Then I noticed their teas were sweetened (eventually they introduced a few unsweetened teas at customer request), making new teacomers think that tea has to have added sugar. So much for a healthy drink! Now Tea Drops has added insult to injury by adding new flavors with dangerous fake sweeteners such as Erythritol, and questionable chemical additives. Take a look at Thai Coconut Jelly Tea: Yellow #6, high-fructose syrup, potassium sorbate, polyglycerol, silicon resin, propylene glycol. Their Boba pearls are similarly riddled with additives. Natural Boba tapioca pearls are readily available. This company is giving the tea industry a bad reputation. Let's return to real tea leaves and as for teabags, just recycle and compost the parts. There is plenty of great organic tea out there without this unhealthy and environmentally questionable option.
