Honest Tea: Obama’s Favorite Tea Drink

Honest Tea: Obama’s Favorite Tea Drink

President Barack Obama is said to be a fan of Honest Tea and the co-founder of Honest Tea, Seth Goldman,  is pleased with this news. This could mean that because of Obama’s tea drinking taste, sales for Honest Tea would go up.

The Honest Tea company realized Obama’s knack for the tea drink when his staff called in one day asking where they could purchase some Honest Tea for the president. According to some, Obama currently enjoys his Black Forest Berry which is an herbal infusion of blackberry leaves, blueberry, raspberry, and hibiscus.

The health benefits of Honest Tea, compared to other tea or fruit beverages, come in numbers and the product is organic.  Honest Tea also contains fewer calories than most leading tea and fruit drink brands and has less sugar (In fact, it does not contain any refined sugar). Honest Tea also comes in a variety of flavors including Mango Green Tea, Peach White Tea, and Pomegranate White Tea with Acai. President Obama is not only inspiring people across the globe, he can now inspire people to include a cup of tea in their daily lives.

Drinking tea in general, including black and green tea, is beneficial for health because of the antioxidants tea carries.  These help in fighting colds as well as heart diseases, preventing cancer and strokes.  Tea also contains caffeine and can be a healthier substitute for people who drink coffee for energy boosts.

Obama wants to stay healthy during his presidency and with media coverage charting his every move, he is clearly displaying some healthy drinking habits for everyone to follow.

I guess for some, tea is the new coffee so you can make the switch if you haven’t already! Although, you can’t compare the flavors if you ask me. You can probably find Honest Tea at Whole Foods, a local market, or even a convenience store. It’s really light and refreshing.
