Argo Tea Hibiscus Tea Sangria (Iced Tea) — TREAT
Munch or Dump rates Argo Tea Hibiscus Tea Sangria (Iced Tea) by Argo Tea TREAT — score 43/90.
A short, clean ingredient list, but this is sweetened sugar-water at heart: cane sugar plus orange juice concentrate sit right behind the hibiscus infusion. No artificial junk, but it's an indulgent sweet drink, not a health tonic.
Why this verdict
- Added cane sugar is the #2 ingredient, with orange juice concentrate adding a second sugar source
- Roughly 12g of sugar per serving in what's marketed as a healthful tea
- Real hibiscus and whole-fruit infusion, no artificial colors or flavors
- Simple, recognizable list with no emulsifiers, gums, or modified starches
Ingredients (4)
- Hibiscus & fruit infusion (water, hibiscus, elderberries, apples, rosehip, strawberries, kiwi, raspberries) (safe) — A real brewed infusion of hibiscus and whole fruits/berries, naturally rich in antioxidants and the one genuinely good part of this drink.
- Pure cane sugar (caution) — First ingredient. Each serving is a straight shot of added sugar with no redeeming nutrition.
- Orange Juice Concentrate (safe) — Another natural concentrated juice providing flavor and potential nutrients.
- Natural Flavors (safe) — Flavor compounds derived from natural sources.
