Ohhhh man. This is pretty much the best iced tea I have ever made. Brewed this one strong (4, possibly 5 generous tsp to 8 oz.) with boiling water, and then diluted up to probably 14 oz. with cool water after about ~4 min. It went into the fridge maybe 10 hours ago, and the result is seriously amazing. It’s creamy and “vegetal”, but not in any way that tea has ever come across to me. It’s almost more like cucumber, except there’s some sweetness from the strawberry. When I was brewing this up, I fully admit that I was regretting that I had so much left of my 50g bag…. yeah, no longer. And I’m now hoarding the rest of it, because nobody I’ve sent it off to likes it, so now it’s all mine! :D So there! Haha.
Anyways, this was a very pleasant surprise this evening (er, is 4:30am still evening?) while I’m working on project stats. I’m far more interested in drinking this than the 3 hot teas I just made… oh well.

Gah! If I were up at that time I’d be chugging maté.
This is one I really wanted to try, but it had disappeared online before I decided to do a $50 order. Oh well. :) Glad to see a positive review!
I have a pretty messed up sleep schedule right now, so I was wiiide awake at 4:30. Come noon, and I was crashing pretty hard. Caffeine doesn’t seem to do much for me though, other than give me nausea and the jitters if I drink too much on an empty stomach.
OMGsrsly – this one is really hit or miss, or seems to have been. If you really want to try some, you might try asking on the swap threads? That’s how I ended up with about 30-40g of DT’s Buttercream, which was discontinued before I even knew it existed (and then I got it in a swap and loved it). It was a similarly hit or miss tea, so people were willing to part with theirs :D
Caffeine does the exact same thing to me, especially on an empty stomach. It’s almost like a hangover.
Ugh, it’s awful! But at least I rarely encounter that problem (really, it’s only extra-large coffees or matcha smoothies that ever result in consequences, and the coffee has bonus intestinal consequences too).
