Okay, but their teas are actually pretty darn good and not loaded with sugar. I agree about the water though.

(Although, aluminum is essentially infinitely recyclable compared to plastic, so is probably a better alternative to bottled water)

Hate to break it to you, the inside of cans are still lined with plastic. Still marginally better than plastic bottles though.

If you have a local filtered water supplier you can bring a large reusable container and refill water from there. That way you still get the filtered water taste but cut out shipping

My local filtered water supplier is the fucking city I pay taxes to and it's just fine. I don't understand why so many people are afraid of tap water. I can download fifty fucking years of water testing data. I can get my home water tested for free every year. And you still have these assholes out here who drink nothing but plastic bottled water because it's $5 per case from Aldi. That shit should have at least $5 of taxes added to it which go straight to the municipal supply.

Nothing wrong with tap, it's the best choice if your city has proper mechanisms to ensure tap water quality. Unfortunately not all cities invested in good infrastructure. Theres still a couple of US cities with either bad pipes or local water pollution

I'm not afraid of tap water but, in the city I live in, it tastes like pool water and I find that highly unpleasant.
