XS Tea-berry Blast Energy Tea

What exactly is a tea berry? I have seen coffee berries before, but never a tea berry. Defying all linguistics, the label has this as a "tea-berry", meaning the dash is supposed to make those flavors not actually joined together. In tiny hard to read letters, it writes that this is actually Green and Black Tea Blend with Essence of Raspberry. Even harder to read are all the words adorning this can, like "energy, endurance, power, performance and explosive".
What this is, actually, is exactly what I expected for XS. Fantastic taste, Fantastic looks, and weak energy is par for the course for XS energy - and this drink is no exception.

Taste:10
I did not know what to expect from this drink - no knowing if I was going to taste Lipton, Luzianne , or even (gasp) real tea. What I got in this small can is a fantastic mix of black and green teas, with just enough sucralose to make this about as sweet and yummy as a canned tea could get. If this were any bigger, Xing and Arizona would have some real competition. If you like tea - you will absolutely go nuts over this stuff. I did.

Buzz:4
MAN! For all the yum of this drink, I felt about as much energy as a chocolate bar. It has the usual blend of energy ingredients, like Taurine, L-Glutamine and Ginseng, plus an adaptogenic blend of different flavors of ginseng, schisandra, astragalus and reishi. I wish this was stronger, or at came in a much larger can. Even if this gave me as much energy as a cool brisk one, I would not have cared. But for a tiny 8.4 ounce can, it was just a tease. I felt a whole lot like the plant monster from Little Shop of Horrors - and WANTED MORE!

Packaging:6
Still par for the course for XS. Decent color scheme, decent package, but too small a size. for drinks this tasty they really need to increase their beverage size. What I did notice is a small Kosher symbol - which is most awesome! Just in time for Passover, here is an energy drink to keep people awake after all that wine. Problems abound however, like no lising of caffiene content, and a listing of caffeine content would be nice too.
