We don’t really have Dunkin’ Donuts in Canada, so when I saw this RTD at one of my favourite local “exotic snack import” shops I decided I had to try it…
For a zero sugar iced tea, I found this quite sweet and in a really mouth-coating and lingering way. I’m kicking myself for not actually checking what sugar substitute they were using, but with the aftertaste and the sort of film-y feeling it left on the palate I wouldn’t be surprised if it was an artificial sweetener like erythritol.
Peach is one of those flavours that really bugs me when it’s super fake-y and artificial tasting. Especially when it’s white peach like this one, because then it usually has a floral undertone to it that doesn’t do so well with the intensity/sweetness that often follows that strong peach taste. It just builds and builds on the palate. For me, that was the case here and I just couldn’t get into this…
PS. I wasn’t totally sure whether to make the company for this “Dunkin’ Donuts” or “Dunkin.” But I went with Dunkin’ in the end because that’s how it’s stylized on the bottle of the RTD and when I went back and looked at the online listing for the snack shop they had the company/vendor listed as Dunkin’ as well.
