Now I wonder who this product is aimed at; you could never tell from the website could you?
C-Ice is an iced tea with a twist and is about to be launched into the UK market. C-Ice is a black tea designed to be served chilled. The twist comes from the addition of hemp blossom syrup and an extract of hemp bloom otherwise known as cannabis. The extract is of miniscule proportions at just 0.0015%.
It is actually targeting the 'healthy, functional soft drink market' with the Austrian producers claiming various health benefits from the use of hemp - "Hemp is loaded with enzymes, vitamins and minerals. Its protein content, amino acids, omega oils, gamma linolenic acid and a perfect ratio of essential fatty acids make C-Ice a simply extaordinary little pick-me-up".
No details of cost I am afraid.

What? No free samples? Andy, we must gather the troops and go to Austria to protest. We want our samples!
Okay, maybe not. It sounds like a fun drink but you know it will never fly here in the strait-laced U. S. of A. Pity.

It's somewhat overrated. I bought it a few days ago (I live in South Africa) and it pretty much tasted like ordinary tea, though I kept the can as a memento. It's very popular with the clubbing crowd.

I live in Switzerland and got it out of the vending machine at the trainstation the other day for kicks. No great shakes, just like all of the other nasty bottled iced teas here. Read my review on uglifruit.blogspot.com
cheers
