The first ingredient is sugar. So, you know, mostly this is a packet full of sugar and the fact it is from honey does not change that.
I also notice some labeling on the sachet that I consider extremely deceptive. This drink is 5 calories per serving, and a sachet is considered to contain two servings. So there are actually 10 calories per sachet. The sachet contains 3.6 grams, 3.6 grams of pure sugar would be about 14 calories, Koolaid is 12-- so at 10 calories this drink is not much less than that.
Tea is present as green tea powder. This product can have many of the benefits of tea (for example as an antioxidant), depending on how it is harvested and processed. As the third listed ingredient is it not clear how much teas in in each sachet. It is advertised as containing "60 mg of tea flavonoids".
