I switched to Honest Tea from Tazo bottled teas a couple of years ago when I started gaining weight and finally figured out why.  One bottle of Tazo contained nearly 40 grams of sugar! 

I'm now in love with Honest Tea (Peach Oo-la-long and Mango Acai White Tea are amazing!) and appreciate half of the sugar content.  Honest is also an organic product and they offer juice pouches for kids - and have created a unique recycling and fundraising opportunity:

Every year millions of drink pouches end up in garbage and landfills. Honest Kids and TerraCycle are working together to change that. As an eco-friendly innovator, TerraCycle is going to convert the used drink pouches into unique fashion bags.

Once you have signed up for the Drink Pouch Brigade, TerraCycle will mail out 4 prepaid collection bags to your address. Once a collection bag is filled with 100 drink pouches please seal and drop off the filled bag at a UPS drop off location near you.

The Honest Kids Drink Pouch Brigade program would allow almost any organization to save drink pouches from taking up space in our landfills. Honest Kids will donate $0.02 per Honest Kids drink pouch and $0.01 per regular drink pouch you collect to the charity of your choice. If you don't have a charity currently in mind, you may choose from a list of existing charities! There are no signup fees whatsoever.

BTW - Honest still offers their tea in glass bottles - which I appreciate and I also realize the extra energy required to make and deliver them.  But I'll take glass over plastic any day.
