Peet’s bottled tea
I just sent this email to Peet’s:
I was just at the grocery store (Nob Hill), which had a display stand of Peet’s tea. I was eager to buy a few bottles, but alas! the ingredients list is printed in a small font in black on a dark green background: totally unreadable.
I doubt that this was an accident—more likely you simply didn’t want the customers to be able to read the ingredients—but the effect was that I didn’t buy any.
Like many Americans, I am a type-2 diabetic, so I was interested in tea without sugar (and, in particular, without high-fructose corn syrup). If I can’t read the ingredients, I don’t buy.
Thought you should know, though I doubt it will affect your determination to keep secret the list of ingredients.
Thanks anyway.
