Now that all English soft drinks are broken and wrong I am incentivised to purchase expensive imported ones which still contain sugar and flavour. Here today we have a China made Pepsi - with peach Oolong tea added in!
The oddest part to this is the sparkly-ness - I'd not really make tea with sparkling water - but it adds a tingle to the peach flavour.
The tea flavour is weak and fairly invisible, but the peach and Pepsi does shine quite well.
And it's dark as normal, so no real point in finding a glass! I chilled mine, but I suspect that over Ice on a hot day this would be at it's best.
It oddly reminded me of this old thing, that I happened to pick up to let someone else to try I used to call this Wo Long Kat when it came in steel cans in the 90s, but here it's called Wang Lao Ji - essentially it's medicinal sugar water - 10 more calories per 100ml than the Pepsi!
And it tastes as I remember - too sweet, too herby, and too morish. The first sip is always baffling, but you'll finish it and you'll enjoy it too.
The tea here is nicer than the Pepsi, but I think the peach Pepsi just edges ahead in the taste test. I'd more happily drink a litre of the herbal tea though.
