Stress levels increase as finals get near, and coffee becomes a student’s best friend. Kate and Logan made the decision to change up their study schedule this week by going to GB Nutrition, a well-liked restaurant on the Strip that specializes in loaded teas. GB Nutrition’s loaded teas are a special blend of tea, herbal stimulants, multivitamins, supplement powders, and caffeine. With more than 100 flavors to select from, these energy-boosting drinks are sweetened with a range of artificial scents. These drinks can be a lifeline for students who are overwhelmed by their notes and textbooks.This was Logan’s first visit to GB Nutrition, but Kate has been there before. There has never been a better moment to introduce Logan to the wonders of loaded teas, especially with finals approaching and a long study session ahead. GB Nutrition’s location on the Strip, just a short stroll from campus, makes it an ideal choice for college students. It’s particularly well-liked during the day, in part because of sorority percentage days, when a percentage of sales are donated to charitable causes. You receive your energy fix, and a worthy cause gains as well. After looking over the extensive menu, Logan chose a starburst drink, and Kate stuck to her favorite—strawberry lemonade. Both beverages had striking colors that virtually shouted “energy boost.” Now lets talk ratings!
Kate and Logan gave both drinks a perfect score of a one for presentation. The colors made the beverages look as good as they tasted. Logan said, “You want to dive right in because the colors are so inviting and bright.” Moving on to scent, the drinks received a rating of a three. Although they had a slight sweetness to them, the scent wasn’t that intense. However, because so many different powders and vitamins were utilized in the drinks, the store itself had a strong, aggressive smell. “The strong smell was a bit much, but it’s not a deal breaker,” Kate said. The two decided that this wouldn’t stop them from returning. The taste ratings were mixed. Logan gave her starburst drink a perfect score of one, saying it tasted just like a pink Starburst, which she loved. Kate was also impressed, giving Logan’s drink a similar rating. Logan, on the other hand, thought Kate’s strawberry lemonade was a little sour for her taste, giving it a three, whilst Kate, who like sour flavors, gave it a perfect one. Lastly, Kate and Logan rated the teas a perfect score overall, weighing price against quality. Given their size (equivalent to a Starbucks Venti) and the energy-boosting elements they contain, the loaded teas are a great value at just $8. Kate said, “You really can’t beat the value for what you’re getting.” Logan agreed that the teas were well worth the money, especially for surviving finals week. The two concluded that, all things considered, GB Nutrition’s loaded teas provide an enjoyable and stimulating experience that is ideal for college students who are constantly on the go. We agreed to come back again.
