Sports Tea

[Jamiesawyer]

I'm wondering about Sport Tea. I checked the ingredients but I'm not seeing any sugar listed. But it does say, Siberian eleuthero root, mate, and other natural flavors. I'm really stumped on this one.

Pretty hard for us to say, not having seen the actual ingredients list. I googled it and it only lists "key ingredients" and then says "no artificial sweeteners" which means they could still use honey, agave, stevia etc.
