Benefits of Twisted Tea Light
The advantages of Twisted Tea Light include:
- Fewer calories and carbs
- Lower alcohol content
- Lighter, more hydrating formula
- No artificial sweeteners or flavors
- Real-brewed black tea base
- Fruit-flavored variety to suit any taste
- Convenient single-serve can packaging
- Cost-effective 12-pack
With just 100 calories and 4g carbs per can, Twisted Tea Light lets you enjoy refreshing hard iced tea flavor without the steep calorie and carb toll taken by regular Twisted Tea. This makes it easier to imbibe multiple cans without worrying about your health goals.
The lower 4% ABV is also a perk for many drinkers. Twisted Tea Light uses no fake flavorings or sweeteners. It has real tea leaves and fruit essences flavors like peach, raspberry, and lemonade. It’s affordable refreshment for gatherings large and small.
Twisted Light Tea Downsides
Here are some potential downsides or cons to consider about Twisted Tea Light:
- While no artificial sweeteners are used, it does contain natural sweeteners like cane sugar to produce some of the fruit flavors.
- As a flavored malt beverage rather than a plain tea, health-conscious consumers may critique additives like malted barley and inherent processing/preservatives used to produce a shelf-stable canned tea. Not as “healthy” as freshly brewed tea with lemon.
- The convenience of portable aluminum cans also generates more packaging waste compared to homemade beverages. Not as eco-friendly.
- Being sold in a 12-pack encourages purchase of a larger quantity at once which could prompt excess consumption without proper self-control.
- Though affordably priced, over time buying canned tea regularly could get more expensive than making your own at home.
Downsides revolve around it still being a less-healthy alcohol-spiked canned tea with additives, sweeteners, and packaging waste produced on a mass scale. Moderation and self-control would still be required to consume it as part of a balanced diet and lifestyle.
