Waka Quality Instant Tea, Unsweetened Green Tea, 200 Servings

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 Amazon 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.

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.

Really good and convenient. I think it's a good value for the amount of servings it makes. It tastes great, too.

I drink a lot of green tea, and I enjoy varieties with some lemon, so I decided to give this a try. It's definitely a good value for the price--you get a lot of cups from this package!It does blend well, and that's handy because you can make tea with whatever temperature water you wish. That's really great when I'm traveling and don't have quick access to hot enough water.The quality is excellent and the taste is good... but to me, not as good as the stuff I brew myself with a tea bag. Maybe that's because it is a very finely ground powder. This might even make it even more healthy for you since apparently you're drinking the leaf, not just what is steeped from it. But it tastes just a little bitter to me--not off-putting, but not as mild as the traditionally-brewed stuff.I like this stuff a lot, though, especially for making iced tea and for adding a bit of green tea boost (and just a little caffeine) to a smoothie. I would buy it again.

This should get zero stars. I was so excited to try this product! I drank about 4 sips and started to feel very weird. I got dizzy and nauseous and my eyes couldn’t focus. I had to go to the bathroom to throw up 3 different times before I started to feel better. I had only had water that morning, so I know it was the green tea. I had 24 more days to return the product. It kept giving me an error saying that it wasn’t eligible to return even though I’m seeing the date right there. I chatted with support and they said they couldn’t provide me with a label. They did say that they would refund me and I could keep the product. How sketchy is that?

My favorite tea. Easy to use and taste amazing for instant tea.

When I first started using this powder, I didn't think that 1/4 tsp was enough so I added more. It was not yummy. Try again and use 1/4 tsp for 6-8 ounces of milk and then try again. It really does only need that much for a great drink.

Getting used to it. So hot water first, even when icing this. The strength needs adjusting. But it's yellow and not green? I dont think I'll reorder. I'd prefer a milder and smoother taste
