OPERATE peach & green tea has a fresh peach scent, refreshing peach taste and quenches your thirst. There is also a sweet peach after taste too.
All OPERATE flavours were really enjoyable, fresh and invigorating. Though my favourite has to be the raspberry and cranberry flavour. Which one will you try first?
