Slap White Tea Energy Lemon Ice

One of the last Slap energy drinks I have currently is Slap White Tea Energy. The Slap line, so far, has been slightly above average, and I don't think its gonna change with Slap White Tea Energy. Slap White Tea Energy is one of the three tea varieties in the line, along with Slap Red Tea Citrus and Slap Green Tea Energy Crisp Apple. I've never had "white tea," but I'm guessing its a lighter type of tea than black or green.

FIRST IMPRESSION: The can made up mostly by silver with a solid strip of yellow on the bottom and the top, and a large hand giving off a yellow glow and a head on the palm of the hand. There is also a good amount of text, which I feel only clutters the can. Overall, I think that the can of Slap White Tea is the worst in the line so far. I don't the colour yellow for a energy drink can, as I think yellow is more of a crayon colour than a energy drink can colour. The design of the can I also don't like. The design looks like it took five minutes or so to make and the text makes figuring out what the actual flavour is difficult.

TASTE:
I opened the can and I smelt the clear liquid. The scent is similar to Sprite or 7-Up. The flavour starts out as a light lemon lime mix with a low amount of carbonation, then fades away leaving a slight tea taste in your mouth. Its not very sweet and is very light. Overall, I feel that Slap White Tea Lemon Ice is a decent tasting energy drink. While the flavour isn't anything special, its at least drinkable and is a decent energy tea.

KICK: Each can contains: Carbonated water, Fructose, Citric Acid, Taurine, Natural Flavors, Caffeine, Green Tea Solids, Sucralose, Niacin, Guarana Extract, and Yerba Mate. This blend of ingredients gave me a pretty good kick. While I didn't feel jittery, I felt full of energy and had a raised mental alertness. While it wasn't as strong as some, it certainly woke me up, and kept me up for a good five hours.

FINAL WORD: Overall, Slap White Tea Energy Lemon Ice is a decent energy drink, just like the rest in the line. Though no drink in the line was down right terrible, I'm disappointed by the line as a whole. The Slap line could of been great and revolutionary, but somewhere they got lost in the average side of town. Though there have been greater disappointments in life(such as Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull), but for an energy drink line with so much potential, it just disappoints...3.4/5
