Review: A little goes a LONG WAY. - I got this tea on sale thinking it was stevia sweetened and would make a refreshing iced green tea. Let me tell you about my first foray with this tea. I added a heaping teaspoon of powder onto a 32 oz glass of hot water and added a few shots of stevia liquid. It was darker than I remember green tea being. My first taste and I wanted to gag. The taste was soooooooo bad that I got an instant headache and I almost dumped it down the drain. I am glad I did not. I added more stevia and tried it again. No change whatsoever, still overpowering. Instead, I got a fresh 32 oz glass of ice water and added about 2 ounces of the tea /stevia tar from the original 32oz glass into the fresh one and mixed it up. Wow, the color was a beautiful light green that I expected to see. The flavor was outstanding. I then dumped the rest of the 32oz glass into a 2 gallon pitcher and ended up with 2 gallons of refreshing sweet tea. The directions call for 1/4 tsp. Personally even that much seems like a lot and was way too much. Today, I mix a slightly full teaspoon powder into 2 gallons of water and add the sweetener and it is great! I love this tea now and smells good in the cabinet once you open the package. I paid $8 on desertcart for the bag. I am not sure that I would pay $15. Buy it on sale and try diluting it if you do not like the taste. You may find that the right balance is based on how much water you use. I will say that as HOT tea with sugar, it seems to be better but I still use less powder than recommended. I purchased the mango flavored green tea.
Review: Great instant tea - Opening the bag hits you with a very overpowering peach scent. So much so that the first cup I couldn't taste any peach at all. I was very disappointed. The second cup in, with the scent out of my nose, the peach flavor was very nicely paired with the green tea. I havent been able to stop drinking since I got it. I have even tried it in my coffee and love it. Like it so much that I ordered a few other flavors to try. Just like other reviews have said, the zip top was faulty. Just transferred to a zip lock bag. It also didnt come with a scoop, not sure if it was supposed or not but I had one so no biggie.

So this tea is very bitter…yes it taste like raspberry but it’s bitter. I usually drink unsweetened tea but this is strong in the bitter aftertaste.
