Smith Teamaker Exceptional Iced Tea No. 46, Refreshing, Caffeinated, Sustainably Grown, Full Leaf Black Iced Tea, 10 Count, 1 Quart Sachets

This is my very favorite Iced Tea. Top quality like all of Steve Smith's teas, superb flavor. Never even tried adding sugar -- not my thing. Been using it for several years, steeping cold overnight in a steel mesh filter cone, 2 sachets in a 2-quart jar. Just like sun tea except you don't need the sun. Doesn't get bitter even if you don't get to drink it or forget to remove the sachet for a week or two. You owe yourself at least a try. Worth every penny.

Love this Smith iced tea. Does not water down with lots of ice - maintains hearty delicious tea flavor!

I drink tea every day. My diet doesn’t allow for anything carbonated, few fruit juices ( I have to watch sugar intake and no vitamin c) limited caffeine- etc. That leaves me primarily with herbal tea. I’ve tried everything and drink about 16 cups of tea daily. That’s normally one box per day. In an effort to give myself some variety, I’ve tried everything and find that two companies produce the best teas. Smith and Good Earth. I prefer Mango, mint despite the caffeine, jasmine but any tea from these two companies will leave you feeling good and they have enough variety to please most. This is the tea I gift to others because they have such a lovely box. Unfortunately lately I’m receiving them stuffed into mailer envelopes and they arrive smashed and not giftable. For this reason, despite my use, they will not be included in my yearly Xmas gift packages.

Followed directions brew time&temp and it came out to a kind of pale turquoise color.I taste faint pineapple the most.It is light& refreshing, pleasant.Probably will not reorder.Contacted the company about the color.They said it must be spring water to attain the sapphire shade.******** Tips for success- MUST use spring water #2 Let water cool a minute, if it came to a boil(too hot) #3 only brew 3 min for sapphire blue color or it turns more purple than blue. I used 2 -16.9oz bottles of water to brew in glass Ball jar w/silver spoon to prevent glass cracking.After 3 min,added 2 more !6.9oz bottles water room temp.Came out as advertized.

If you like the bracing Jasmine hot tea typically served at Asian restaurants, you will like this blend. I'm not a huge fan of that flavor, so am trying different brewing times to see if I can diminish that a bit. The fruit flavor is definitely far in the background (if not unnoticeable) in the two versions I've brewed so far.

This is truly an exceptional iced tea.

I’d been wanting to try this tea for a long time.I saw so many ads & it looked so refreshing & amazing. But it fell very short of my expectations! It has a bitter, funny taste & a terrible aftertaste. The first few times I made it I followed directions with boiling water to steep then cooling off before drinking. I read that making cold brew style overnight in fridge eliminates a bitter taste in iced tea. I tried this twice as well but it’s still bitter. So disappointing as it’s kind of pricey. Will not buy again & will stick to my Lipton.

This tea is so refreshing! I am not a water drinker during the day. But when I make this tea! My kidneys are rejoicing because I can not stop drinking my pitcher of tea!I believe people who down rate this tea does not know the secret to obtaining maximum flavor.I brew my tea, add two handfuls of the molasses rock sugar (purchased from Amazon), add tea bag and let sit covered for 5-10 minutes. Add to a pitcher with one slice tangerine or handful of frozen berries and ...bam! Don't forget your ice.
