OK I must really love this tea (plus I’m quite thirsty)! I brewed this up last night for today’s iced tea consumption, and the half gallon is nearly finished! It is really yummy.
The black tea is the strongest flavor but I like the way the plum comes through, it lingers in the background and there is a tart-yet-sweet plum aftertaste.
Ok so I really wanted to love this and I can say with confidence that one pouch does not make 1 gallon. With this and the watermelon I followed the directions as stated and made a gallon in both cases. Unfortunately, in both cases they felt watery and there was virtually no presence of ant black tea. On the plus side when I did taste the plum flavor it was dazzling. I just need to test on my own but do feel like I have wasted two pouches so far. :-(
