"What do I look like? Some guy who's not lazy?" - Lazy Sal, Futurama. A couple reasons why this is a 5 star product for me. Firstly, I love convenience AND black tea. Am I lazy, tired, broke? Maybe, possibly, potentially. I want to preface this review by acknowledging this isn't going to replace a high end tea experience. This is my daily rider. This is my camping tea. This is my easy answer for all my wake up and pick me up moments. Let's start with taste: I like my tea straight up, black & unsweetened. I personally don't find it bitter when I make it dark & powerful. The value is incalculable. Or maybe it IS calculable. All I know is, it's better than bad, it's GOOD! More like great but had to slip in the Ren & Stimpy Log reference. I really like that I can mix the temperature of the water to my preference, ez pz. I also like how easy it is to mix, I use a shaker style bottle with a closed top. It's a shake and go situation. Blending with this method works really well, leaving a smooth texture of the prepared tea. I really like that I can drink it throughout the day. In the morning, I make it darker, by lunch I am mixing a lighter shade of tea. And I need to note, when I am heavy handed with the amount of mix, the final product packs a PUNCH. The only heads up I want to give (see photo) which I learned the first time I mixed up a cup is the underside of the scoop will pick up loose product. So save yourself the small mess and tap the scoop before you fill the scoop side. HUZZAH!

Great for iced tea! Don’t have the patience for wait for tea to cool down then this is for you. I mix this with my good host mix to achieve a less sweet iced tea

Better than I expected it to be, after I actually followed the instructions. It makes many more cups of tea than you think it would (over 150 even if you like extra powder) First cup made with this was FAR too strong and tasted like chemicals but that's because I thought I really liked strong tea and put in a half teaspoon when the instructions said to put in 1/4 a teaspoon. Putting in the right amount makes a decent cup of tea, not quite as good as my normal english breakfast but for the convenience of not needing to wait for it to steep on days that the wait seems too much or that I literally forget that I was steeping some tea, it is more than good enough. Unfortunately after about half of the pack was used, one side of the resealable plastic part came off the side but that's pretty minor.

Love it!! Instant tea at your finger tips, you can control the strength by adding more or less instant tea.

I figured this was a risk when I ordered it, but, honestly....I'm impressed. This is VERY close to the tea I normally brew (I'm an avid tea drinker).
