When I’m on the go I constantly find myself looking for healthy alternatives to the sugary sweetened iced teas that fill most store’s shelves. One of the things that impressed me the most was that the only ingredient is tea. The look of this tea was rather…interesting? My boyfriend likened it to raw sewage. The taste of the tea was a bit different than I was expecting but it was still very good. It was naturally sweet but with a surprising bit of nuttiness that I wouldn’t expect from sencha. Presumably they would have to roast it quite a bit to get the moisture content down enough to make it into a powder. I definitely recommend these handy little packets.
