This is the older version of what is today known as Steaz.  Apparently the same item...

From the bottle:  "We've created a revolutionary tea-soda, "steaped" full of flavor and nutrition, made from the finest natural ingredients in the world.  So twist off the top and enjoy soda's newest alternative -- from our continued journey to discover great tasting healthy beverages....  -- Eric and Steve"

Review

        First off, a disclaimer.  This is sold as root beer-flavored "green tea soda," so I'm not sure it should be judged among the root beers.  But seeing as it has "root beer" in big letters across the front, we got it and we're going to review it.

        Very sweet, molasses-like nose.  Nice, sweet heavy molasses beginning, thinning to a tea-like aftertaste, which is actually quite pleasant.  Nicely carbonated so that the fizz doesn't get in your way.  Smooth and tasty, though there is not much root here. 

        It is definitely a "tea soda" as well as a root beer, but even purists like me won't mind it, it's tasty.
