Tea-Time

I bought an Ice Tea this afternoon and on the back of the label was written “Tea contains many good things.” Yes, very many good things! This must be good for me. This “Mango Flavoured Tea Drink.” Wait a minute, is that like the “Orange Flavoured Juice Drinks” that taste like vit-c tablet infused sugary water, or the even more nefarious “Cream Flavoured Dairy Product” that is neither cream-flavoured nor what I would understand as a dairy product. In much smaller print, the ingredients list the third ingredient, 4% by volume, as tea extract. Right after water and sugar.

So, what is tea extract exactly?
