jessica drank Iced Green Teabags by Den's Tea

So, I am not a big tea bag person because you can tell that most of the tea bag leaves have gone through the crush and tear process…. but I was impressed that the tea leaves (for green tea) were at a moderate to good level.

I must say this was a convenient way to have an iced tea ready to go during my morning rush! It was great not sweetened but surely a different quality from drinking loose leaf green tea. Still, if you need a quick iced green tea with a good flavor I would recommend this teabag

Question for you! :)
I recently tried one of these iced tea bags…the first time I glanced at it I thought it said 60 seconds! Come to find out it said 60 MINUTES…what did you do for yours!? Just curious…

I actually had that problem the first time I tried an iced tea bag that said only 60 seconds… egh (completely not true!).. so I did a half and half… of warmer water then let it steep for 4 minutes and then added freezing water. I think the warmer water simply helped open up the leaves a bit

but yeah, I must say that was one qualm I had that I should have mentioned in my note.

p.s. I love all your postings! I just joined and I have been doing a summer project/adventure of my own where I try out at least one tea a day and write about it… sort of a journal of my own! But your posts give me so many ideas

Bio

i have traveled all my life, but the one constant food/drink that has followed me around is tea. now that i am settling down in new york city (settling down meaning for a few years), i have an urge to somehow record and remember all the cups of tea and my thoughts around them.

as i have been lucky to try a diverse range of teas from around the world, my ratings are a bit tough… but they are honest. i always prefer loose leaf teas (as the leaf quality is better) and my favorite pure tea has to be green tea. i enjoy a good blend but it has to be creative!

here are my ranks:

1-10: why is this even labeled as tea?

11-20: okay, at least there is some effort

21-40: i would drink it if there was nothing else in my fridge

41-60: good but not holding my attention.

61-70: flavor and aroma are distracting me in a good way!

71-90: delicious! i come back for a second round

91-100: too good to read while drinking. addicting. like a secret that i want to keep or tell the world. that is how good this tea is!
