Art of Tea Passionfruit Jasmine 2QT Iced Tea Pouches
Country of Origin: not listed Leaf Appearance: small, dark Ingredients:Organic Black Tea, Organic Green Tea, Organic Jasmine Flowers, Natural Flavors Steep time: 8 hours Water Temperature: cold Preparation Method: Takeya Flash Chill Iced Tea Maker Liquor: amber These iced tea pouches from +Art of Tea were indispensable over the summer and I find myself still enjoying them well into fall. Now I’m a bit sad because this is my very last one. Being a bit lazy, cold infusing is always the way to go for me and it couldn’t be easier with my Takeya Flash Chill Iced Tea Maker. On my first try I accidentally left the tea pouch in the fridge for close to…

Steep time: 8 hours Water Temperature: cold Preparation Method: Takeya Flash Chill Iced Tea Maker Liquor: pale amber This tea’s ingredient list was all over the map so I wasn’t sure what it would taste like at all. Cinnamon in an iced tea struck me as a bit odd but I always try to keep an open mind when it comes to tasting tea. It was earthy and somewhat fruity with a slightly…

Photo: Art of Tea Country of Origin: not listed Leaf Appearance: small, dark green Ingredients: Organic Green Tea, Organic Rosehips, Organic Raspberries, Natural Flavors Steep time: 8 hours Water Temperature: cold Preparation Method: Takeya Flash Chill Iced Tea Maker Liquor: greenish gold +Art of Tea‘s iced tea pouches were a lifesaver for me this summer and I’m still enjoying them into the fall. Being able to cold infuse the tea without any mess or hassle is fantastic. This particular blend was vegetal yet sweet and fruity. It didn’t exactly taste like pomegranate but it will still very tasty. There was a pleasant tartness to the finish but I did not find it bitter at…
Art of Tea Hibiscus Cooler 2QT Iced Tea Pouches
Country of Origin: not listed Leaf Appearance: Ingredients: Organic Hibiscus, Organic Guayusa, Organic Lemongrass, Organic Stevia Leaves, Natural Flavors Steep time: 8 hours Water Temperature: cold Preparation Method: Takeya Flash Chill Iced Tea Maker Liquor: deep pinkish red I am generally not a big fan of hibiscus so I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy this particular blend. Thankful it was much more enjoyable than most other hibiscus teas that I have tried. I cold infused it for this review but you could also easily prepare it with hot water and then chilling it. The color was a fabulous shade of pinkish red that looked more like a cocktail than iced tea. It was…
Art of Tea Summer Peach 2QT Iced Tea Pouches
Country of Origin: not listed Leaf Appearance: small, dark Ingredients: Organic black tea, organic marigolds, natural flavors Steep time: 4 minutes Water Temperature: 212 degrees Preparation Method: Takeya Flash Chill Iced Tea Maker Liquor: reddish brown Out of all of the +Art of Tea ice tea pouches that I have been reviewing lately, this is probably the one that I had been looking forward to the most. What could be more summery than a tall glass of peach iced tea on a hot day? I’ve been cold brewing most of these but figured that I could go with traditional hot steeping for this one. The black tea base was bright and crisp with just the right…
Art of Tea Blooming Bliss
Country of Origin: China Leaf Appearance: sage green with white tips Ingredients: Silver Tipped Green Tea, Amaranth Flowers, Natural Flavors Steep time: 5 minutes Water Temperature: 180 degrees Preparation Method: glass teapot Liquor: very pale This blooming tea was a bit less showy than others that I’ve tried but I did not mind that one bit. I secretly hate the ones that shoot of tons of tiny flower bits. Amaranth flowers are pretty standard issue for this type of tea. They added a pretty punch of color to what might otherwise be a plain bouquet of leaves. The ball unfurled fairly quickly but I suggest steeping it for the full five minutes. You’ll definitely…
