China's most heavily-marketed tea-in-a-can is Wang Lao Ji. It ain't no sippin' tea, but to my surprise, it isn't a gack-choke-cough-it-up-and-spit-it-out tea, either. Almost every kind of tea in China has some kind of health-positive properties, and I'm told you must drink this tea to cure "overheating." Whatever that means.At any rate, the stuff tastes like a heavier, sugary version of the old "Brisk" Lipton Ice Tea that was popularized several years ago by clay-animated versions of Mike Tyson ("Ooo! Dat's bwwwisk, baby!") in TV commercials. In fact, the sugar content is so high that it's not surprising to see "licorice" listed among the ingredients. If it was caffeinated, I would mix it with vodka so I could watch martial arts movies and stay awake all night.
