- Hi, I'm Parris, and it's always fun to discover
a new type of tea to try.
A while back, I found these bottles of tea.
You notice they look very clear.
It's because all the tea is concentrated
under pressure in the caps.
And when you turn the cap to a certain point,
it releases the nitrogen that pushes
the concentrated tea into the bottle
and you have your freshly-brewed, as they call it, tea.
Since first seeing these at our supermarket
about a year or so ago,
I've wondered how that mechanism up top really works,
so today I've decided I'm going to open
a couple of these teas.
And they taste fine, but are they worth the over $2 each
per bottle because of this mechanism and the fresh brewing?
So, I'm going to record 240 frames per second,
which should give me a pretty good slow-motion view
of what's going on here.
I'm also going to bring my Sony 4K camera over.
I'm not recording in 4K today because I have it set
for 60 frames per second.
That's as fast as this camera can go,
so it's in regular HD.
And I'm gonna find out the secret
of what's going on when you open these up.

If you've never seen these Tea of a Kind teas
in your supermarket, they're not, in our store,
placed with the rest of the sweet tea.
They're placed over with the bottled water
and the mineral water, so you might've passed them by.
They go for $2 to $2.50 a bottle, which is kind of expensive
but, again, their claim to fame
is the tea doesn't break down
by being exposed to light and oxygen,
so it's just like you've just made a cup of tea
when you turn the lid.
This peach ginger black tea is sweetened with monk fruit
and stevia, so it has no calories.
This citrus mint green tea is sweetened
with both sugar and stevia,
and this whole container has about 40 calories.
The several times I've had these and opened the top,
I've opened it very slowly and watched very carefully.
For a while, I was convinced it was actually
pulling the water up from here into the cap,
where there would be the powdered tea,
and mixed together instantaneously
and then sprayed back into the bottle.
But now, I'm thinking it's a liquid concentrated tea
that's up here.
The sweetener's already mixed in with the water,
so in this portion I think there's just a couple drops
of concentrated liquid tea
with a nitrogen gas pressurizing it.
It's supposed to expel that at 120 psi, I think.
So, you'll see, there's quite a show
of what's going on here when I open these tops.
Okay, here we go.
Now, for the green tea.
So, it is a liquid tea that's stored in the cap,
what they call the Gizmo cap,
with that liquid nitrogen that sprays it out.
It would be interesting to remove just the cap
and see how far it would go when you released it.
When you remove the cap, this whole mechanism comes with it.
And the tea itself, this is the green tea...
It's pretty good.
I can't tell that's it fresh-brewed taste though.
And the bottle itself,
after releasing the nitrogen pressure in the cap,
now this actually is under some pressure.
Same thing, this comes with it.
Looks like super concentrated tea right there.
A little more bitter and not nearly as sweet.
What would really enhance the flavor
is an ice-filled Mighty Mug with no-tip technology.
Just what it needed.
So, that's Tea of a Kind, or TOAK as they call it.
It supposedly has more of the antioxidants
still fresh and ready to antioxidize you,
and the other nutrients in it
have been kept away from light as well as from oxygen.
There's several other flavors available
and I'll link to these down below this video.
