Try iced this time- not bad but not as magical as when it’s hot. :)

This is an alright tea when made strong. I tried it iced today- used 3 tsp. for a 16 oz. drink and it’s incredibly weak. $8/2 oz. isn’t horrible, but when I’m having to use SO much tea to make it taste good- the price gets to be pretty steep. I’ll probably start making this super super strong iced, maybe even indulge and add some sugar. :) I’m sure I can find a way to make it good, but I probably wouldn’t buy it again. There’s just something about it I don’t like. But that’s not to say it’s not worth a try if you’re curious and like the way it smells. :)

Even when I use double the recommended amount of this it always comes out super weak! Probably my least favorite Teavana tea. :(

Made with my Keurig brewer, this is probably one of the best teas I’ve ever tasted. Hard to say what I would think of it brewed normally, but super strong I LOVED IT!

Last night I went to Walmart a little tipsy, and ended up spending $100 on a Keurig Brewer. They had intrigued me for a while, and I was surprised to see one for only $100. After looking for K-Cups a couple different places, I wasn’t too excited about their options for tea. I read quite a few reviews that told me just tossing in a tea bag was a bad idea…but I just couldn’t resist.

First I tried a white tea in the Keurig, and was pleasantly surprised at how tasty it was! I was so excited to be enjoying such yummy tea in under 2 minutes, that I just had to try a second bag. In the mood for something fruity, I ripped open my wild berry zinger out of my fruit tea sampler and decided to give that a whirl. I was pretty excited when I first smelled it, but didn’t want to get my hopes up. Fortunately I was not disappointed!

It tastes very similar to fruit punch to me. And I’m a huge fan of fruit punch. :) I suppose it has some tartness to it but it’s not overwhelming. I’m really curious to see what this tastes like iced. I bet with a bit of stevia it will be delicious! Hoping I can find a box of this this weekend- since it’s from the fruit sampler I only have 2 or 3 left.

One of these days I may try steeping this in my teapot just to see how it compares to the way it tastes from the Keurig. This machine of course doesn’t replace my kettle/teapot but I definitely see myself using this on mornings I have to be to class by 8, and at night when I just don’t have the energy to mess with steeping the old-fashioned way!

I’m excited I can make using of my new brewer without having to spend $12 for 16 cups of tea!
